Kumusta! My name is Alex, and I am from Huntington Beach, CA. I started taking Tagalog classes as a beginner with Tagalog with Kirby.
I am studying the Filipino language because I want to communicate with my family outside of English and it makes it feel like a deeper connection.
It's been easy for me to write the different tenses and understand some of the first conjugations BUT I am struggling with thinking of any roots and catching on to vocabulary. On top of that, I studied Japanese a long time ago so sometimes I start mixing it up even more...
I'm not sure how often I'll frequent the forums but this website has the best dictionary so far! Google Translate keeps failing me.
