The Basics in English-Tagalog Lessons

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Manilaboy

Okay this is the first English-Tagalog tutorial on this website. A good way to learn Tagalog or any language is starting at the basic.

Pronunciation (credits to this site):
a – like the u in up and cut (in the majority of English dialects)

e -like the e in end and bed

i – like the i in machine and marine

o – like the o in old and sold

u – like the u in rude and oo in moon

ng – this requires more time to learn. Let’s start with the word “singer”. Then pronounce it like with silent r – “singa”. Next, remove the “si-” just “nga”. Tagalog words like ngipin (teeth) uses it. So it’s “ngi” and “pin”.

Happyland is an independent movie directed by Jim Libiran. The movie is also an entry to Cinemanila, the annual film festival for independent films.

According to GMANews:

The story is based on true events that took place in Tondo in the 1980s, when Spanish priests from the Don Bosco parish and youth center began teaching football to local out-of-school youths. These boys eventually formed a football team that became legendary for playing barefoot because they couldn’t afford to buy football shoes.

EDSA is an acronym for Epifanio de los Santos Avenue. A 23.8 kilometer long stretch of road in Metro Manila named after Epifanio de los Santos, a Filipino Historian.

Its original name was 19 de Junio after Jose Rizal’s birthday. Later renamed to Highway 54, and finally Epifanio de los Santos Avenue in 1959. Because of its length, Manilans shortened it into EDSA.

EDSA is also synonymous to a historic revolution that ousted former president and dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos in February 1986. The event took place in EDSA, the history books call it the EDSA Revolution.
