It's funny how I can understand Tagalog when its spoken to me, however I have no idea how to say anything other than the standard greeting, "thank you", "I'm hungry", and "Where is the bathroom?" And forget about reading it. It's even worse trying to read it! It looks like..well it might as well be a series of numbers....
Although, I used to be very good a pager code... 7317731778312-48111176-70-00-7415? It was easier to do 424-720..hehehehe. OMG, am I totally dating myself by mentioning pagers? LOL. It's so 1996.
So I recently starting looking at my Conversational Tagalog book again. I thought maybe I'd brush up, that way when I fake it, at least it looks real. hehehehe. There are some pretty strange dialogs in this book. For example: "Umiinon, sumasayaw. Pag pagod na ay ngumingiti na lang ako." Which means "I drink, dance. When I'm tired I just smile." It made me smile, so of course I have to use it. If only I knew how to pronounce the first, second, and seventh word in that sentence...
