Intermediate Tagalog: Learn to Speak Fluent Tagalog (Filipino), the National Language of the Philippines (Free CD-Rom Included)

Excellent book to learn tagalog, with easy and good metodology to learn. If you understand spanish is more easy to learn it.

This book did an excellent job at helping me improve my Tagalog. Before starting this book, I could understand simple speech and writing, but when I would try to look at authentic Tagalog texts or listen to authentic Tagalog videos, I struggled. But now, I feel way more confident and find myself actually being able to understand more in-depth Tagalog and I'm able to express myself better. There's a huge dearth in reliable Tagalog learning resources. And this helps fill that void. If the author could also create a resource for advanced Tagalog learners, that would be incredible!

A good book which complete perfectly the previous one Tagalog for beginners.

This book has been helping me a lot. It's well-written but certainly not perfect. The audio CD is poor quality, and I doubt I will even use it. And the way the lessons progress is kind of abrupt. A chapter starts very simply, then gets harder, and harder, then ends. In 4 pages it seems to go from beginner to intermediate to advanced, then back to beginner. So someone at the correct skill level to use this book will probably want to look at the first 5 pages from each chapter, then cycle back to the middle of the chapters, then do the ends of each chapter once their skills improve. Overall I'm glad I bought it though. It has the info that you need to become fluent in Tagalog.

This and the beginner book by Joi Barrios have been invaluable. They've aided me in going from a complete beginner to someone who can engage in and have conversations with kabayan :)Thoroughly recommend. I'm really hoping an advanced one gets released!
