more from that month
Learning Filipino Language via Read Cash Date: January 19th, 2022 Wednesday Let me clear the buzz. Allow me, yes I'm going to tell that. Taking a deep breathe. Holding it for some seconds. Here it goes. ***YES, I AM LEARNING FILIPINO***. The Devil loves to surprise others. This one is for today. You can now have your opinions. You can express it. But that's true. I am trying to learn the language of Philippines. I wanted to have it willingly as I have a lot of friends from the beautiful country, Philippines. Plus, I am planning to visit the country soon.
I will talk about this process. But let me welcome you first to my world. Hello beautiful people! This is your host, Lucifer welcoming you warmly to another journey of my life. I am learning another language. If I count, it will be the **7th language** which I am going to learn. It’s not a show off. Please don't take it like that. My close friends and some of you here knew that I can speak & write **English, Bangla, Hindi, Arabic, Punjabi, Urdu. Little bit of South Indian languages** too and I am looking forward to it. I want you people to take a look at it. Some problems are here. You can help me by giving perfect suggestions. Here we go. **How it started**
It’s been four months here. I have met too many people. About 90% of my friends here are from Philippines. Their culture and traditional stages attracted me much. I loved their contents which is full of wonders of daily life stories. The problem is that when they publish an article in their mother tongue, I have to select translator or have to return back. Beside this, I have seen their conversations in comment sections. Yesterday, our dearest @Ruffa wrote something in Filipino and I was upset as I couldn’t get it. I just asked something to her but in the meantime I decided that the Devil will solve this problem by facing it. Here I am with an upper hand that I am willing to learn Filipino. Which One to Select
Now, that's an issue as I faced it when I searched the language of Philippines. Yeah, I knew it before when I researched about Philippines. Remember that article? You can check it here. Too many languages! Which one to select first? First Word Learnt From Read Cash I learnt the first word from here. Please don't laugh. The word is ' ***Langga***'. I know you are laughing a lot. Ok, go on. It got my attention when @JRamona20 wrote it to @Sequoia who later explained me the meaning, something like best friend or close one. Next one is '***Salamat***' which I didn't need a translator to explain. It means thanks. Beautiful words. **Welcome to Cute Pronunciations** When I checked some online portals to learn Filipino, I was looking for a place which not only teach me the meaning but also the pronunciation. Here comes the joy. Those are so cute and lovely to listen. Heart warming I must say. I think that's why the people of Philippines are so sweet. So proud of you.
My First Day of Learning I took my copybook and pen and wrote down some regular words for daily conversations. Like wishing someone Good morning, afternoon or good evening, I need to learn Magandang which means good and rest are Umaga, Hapon, Gabi. Hahaha... So cute. You can see my copybook here. Pardon my bad writings. **What Internet Says**
As per internet, it is easy to learn Filipino. All I need to be with filipino people, listen as much as their conversations, try to understand, learn at least 5 sentences daily. Wow! It seems easier. Besides, they suggest to be careful about pronunciation. It means a lot and I agree. A mispronunciation can cause problem. Yeah, I can understand it with my own language. Guys, I don’t know how much I can learn but trust me I am trying my best. I love you all my dear Filipinos. The Devil is fond of you. Maybe one day you can see me welcoming you in your own language. I need your best suggestions & beautiful opinions. Till then my friends, ❝ **Maraming Salamat** ❞

Oh ho ho my dear Luci I am glad you want to learn our language. And I will be of your service if you needed some help.
Definitely needed help. I will ask if I fail to understand something.
Hello, kumusta ka langga? Hehe Hello, how are you, my friend/dear? Kumain kana ba? Have you eaten yet? You are so adorable dear, you have learned a lot of languages. So fantastic of you.
very nice handwriting bro, I appreciate your learning and efforts. Good luck
Thanks dear. I'm honoured.
Okay, once you've learned, teach me a little. Because I want to learn this language. Oh well, you learned a lot.
Let me learn first. Then I will teach you.
*Hello Luci! Thanks for learning about our language...Wow, you learned a lot of language already, while me i am still struggling on learning Arabic since my kids has that subject in school today*
Oh dear. Arabic is the beautiful language in this world. It's ok dear. Every new thing is hard. But I'm sure you can nail it too.
This is really beautiful I must say. I have also been here for and I am just motivated by you to take up the challenge of learning as much of the language I can, thank you ( salamat!)
Salamat langga. I hope you will learn that too.
I'm sure Filipino will be a beautiful language to learn. Well I'm adding it to my bucket list ( I must learn it before I die).
You should dear. Those are really beautiful. The people are more cute.
You make me more amaze with you Luci. You're so adorable learning our language😊 Kumusta ka na Luci?
I am both impressed and appreciative of your desire to learn our language. Good luck on your journey. More than reading and writing in Filipino, might I suggest you actually learn to speak it by listening to as many Filipino conversations as you can... just so you get used to how it's pronounced and the cadence. And if I may offer a tip: all our vowels (A, E, I , O , U) are pronounced with short sounds (AH, EH, EE, OH, UH) something like that. There are no long vowel sounds like the English language. Have fun!
From this comment, I can tell you speak very good English. That you could even explain the linguistics and relate it to English. Amazing
Thank you for your kind words.
Big hug. That's really helpful. Thanks dear. Huge thanks. Big help for me.
Great that you are learning Filipino Language 🤗 in the process, you can talk to me and any one else to learn our language.
Wait a min! Is that you? Where were you? Seeing you after a long period.
So far so good, Luci! I'm glad you find our culture and language fascinating. I'll leave two phrases for you - 1. 'Galingan mo' = Do your best! and 2. 'Kaya mo 'yan' = You can do it. Can't wait for the day you'll converse with us in Filipino.
A hug for you. Thanks with these precious gift. I will make you people feel proud for me. ❤️
That is so cool haha. I am planning to publish an article here that's in Filipino texts and I will gladly ask for your opinion about it. Hmm, but maybe to check if you understand it. 😅
I will try my best dear. That would be a great work.
Wow that's nice Luci!. It is an honor that you have come to decide to study our language. Good luck!
That's my honour dear. Love this language.
Understanding as much as 7 languages is a big deal for me, really nice. You are surely a hot cake😂
Aww... Your words will melt me sure Queen. Well, a queen is praising a Devil. That's nice.
How sweet to you my friend. I'm really happy and I couldn't explain my happiness when I read it that you want to learn our language here in the Philippines.🥰 There are a lot of meaning from a word "Langga" my friend. I called Sequoia as Langga my friend it means I treat her as my younger sister that's why I called her Langga.🥰❤️
It seemed funny to me and later asked her. She explained. Thanks dear.
Nice 😁
Thanks mate. Good to see you here.
It is fun to learn tagalog, I started with bisaya first, and it is surprising how much Spanish is in the Filipino languages:)
Well I was so confused. Then I started learning some simple conversations.
Cutie❤️ I'm happy that you're learning our language my dear Luci
We are family. I need to know more.
I am amaze that some foreign people are learning our language. It makes us proud being a Filipino. Maraming salamat langga...
Langga! Am I your best friend? Thanks a lot.
Hahah, of course if you want to... Well, langga is short for Palangga which means love. It is commonly use here in our place.
I'm so HAPPY to see people who's trying to learn our language really. Our language is beautiful too but some just has deep words that's hard to understand but you learn that too I think. Just try harder? Hehehehe. Salamat at sana'y nasiyahan ka sa ginawa mong pag aaral ng aming lenggwahe. Now try to translate this 👻👻👻
Wow, you have a beautiful handwriting! Goodluck on learning the language, I hope to learn it sometime too
Really? Thanks mate and best wishes.

Understanding that much languages is impressive. I remember that I was studying a 4th language before college but I got too lazy after a while haha. Good luck on your journey, Lucifer!
And a beautiful wish come from the cute girl. I'm honoured. Thanks.
