i was married to a Filipina for 39 years, before her death. I tried to learn Tagalog and made good progress. We moved to Hawaii where most Filipinos are Ilocano. I tried to learn Ilocano, very difficult. We moved back to Florida, and most of our Church is Visyan. I gave up and went back to Filipino. I still get the grammar confused. the in and um and in and mga and ang still confuse me. I love the Philippines and Filipino people. BTW Akoy puting Americano.\

I Can be your tutor👇 bcuz im Filipino Me-Ako You-Ikaw Who are you? -Sino k Hi mom-kamusta mama Hi dad-kamusta papa

I love this so much!

CAN U LEARN KOREAN PLS ♥ ♥ I LOVE UR VIDS

The fact of the matter is, a lot of people that I am around including myself (I am a younger Gen Z so still in High School) don't have much if anything that we are really interested in and nothing really gives us a feeling of meaning. Its depressing because when we are told advice like at the end of the video to just focus on what we love and what gives us meaning we have nothing.

this video brought me to tears multiple times as a half filipino who cant speak or even understand ilokano or tagalog besides the simple phrases. i feel the emotions in this video x100! thank you for making this

Terrible video you discussed minuscule reasons

you made me cry!!!

Pinoy can sing talaga. hehe

Ayyy same here bro im also filipino but i never learnt to sepak it except things i hear often

Why is Gen Z quietly giving up? I'll tell you why! - People know there being f*cked over from all angles, It's a system that thrives off debt. Thrives off your misery of being a wage slave just so you can go home and pay bills and wake up to repeat it all over again without any hope of breaking the cycle.....

bro thinks its all rainbows and birds out there

I understand his wish to connect on a deeper level. I was born and raised in the Netherlands but my dad was Indonesian and my mother Swedish. We spoke Dutch at home, but I did pick up Swedish as a child, because my mom spoke Swedish with my older sister and we went to Sweden almost every summer. Unfortunately, I forgot how to speak it by the time I got in my teens, but could still understand pretty well. Never learned Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian), though. It's still on my bucket list to brush up on my Swedish and learn basic Bahasa Indonesia. If I had done so earlier, my relationship with my parents would have been even better, I imagine.

You are so smart, you figured out life. That is it. Congrats!

I've found your account one hour ago, and usually I do not write comments. But I have to say, that your videos are incredible. Your videos have a really high quality, they're creative, so emotional, so fun, have so helpful and meaningful information. I like how you change from sad deep emotions to humour scenes. And when you said that being on KZbin is a thing to fear, an uncomfortable situation, you triggered me really. Because often you see people online, influencers, creators who make wonderful content and you are thinking they are not afraid, they are outgoing, it is easy for them. But like you said, it is not easy :)

Can you speak bisaya for 4 month

opo at po ?? ayo ?

Why her language? Isnt it your language too?

☯️SCHUL/CLG ATTRACTION ATTACHMENT WAS NOT LOVE SO SEARCH UR HALF THEN B LOYAL⏳LIKE THIS BOTH

Deserve na deserve ang chicken adobo! ♥

KZbin algorithm sent me here, and I'm so thankful it did! I cannot relate enough to this video, Both my parents are filippino and I was born in Australia, growing up and having travelled to phillippines as a kid on multiple occasions with parents, i always found myself as not filippino enough, and on the alternative when im in australia, i felt too asian and an outsider to my australian peers. So, since i mainly grew up in australia, I found myself trying my hardest to "fit in" with my australian cohort not realising that I've turned my back towards my heritage. I could always understand tagalog but similar to yourself could never speak it, till now I can only put small sentences together. The idea of "Not filippino" enough really hit home for me, this whole video has inspired me to take my own journey to do better and learn tagalog too. So..thank you for sharing! Ps. This video was really well put together, the editing the transitions all really clean! Subscribed!

mag like kayo sa comment ko kung pinoy o pinay kayo

Me and my boyfriend are meeting for the first time in July and I’m so so excited 😭🫶🏻

Kuya tagalog hindi flipino

Galing ng determinasyon niya americano kasi natuto pa mag tagalog para lang sa kanyang ina talagang proud ang nanay mo dyan (wow your determination is impressive because he is an american citizen but still learned english just for his mother., your mother is definitely proud of you man)

being filipino is not just about language, a real filipino is someone who loves their own country and they are proud about it, who loves their own products. I'm proud of you bro you have shown determination to learn tagalog keep improving, so you and your mom can have a conversation in tagalog. and that boy who called you a "wannabe" is stupid

Oh my gosh I’m so happy i’m also filipino but i grew up in philippines so i already perfected it by the age of 6

You remind me of my dear childhood friend and schoolmate, you have similar features, voice and passion for learning. Fernando, you will always be remembered. Kaya mo yan! Padayon.

The energy has shifted. Nothing feels solid, like something you can trust, and it started to accelerate 10, 15, even 40 years ago, depending on which metric you choose. To all our sweet young people, I would say, none of this is on you. The crap hitting the fan relative to our political Institutions, to Inequality, to ugliness, and what's coming spiritually to force our hands is bigger than all of us. Stay connected to real people, to nature, to art, to your own soul, as best you can. Many older people have your back and we're going through this right along with you.

"Opo" would have sounded more appropriate than Oo hehe. Good job

There's one valuable lesson I learned here as a Filipino mom: not to laugh when my kid is trying. He tries so damn hard to speak Bisaya (his father's dialect) and Hiligaynon (mine) and I would laugh at the accent 'cause he sounded so American trying to learn the language. :( I get it now why he had a hard time learning. He's better now though, thanks to his teachers at school. To other kids, they would impose the strict "English Only" policy. To my son, they made an exception of talking only in Bisaya.

Did you learn French in 30 days? Jokes like this can be harmful. They create false expectations, leading people to try, fail, and then feel inadequate. Videos like this do a disservice to viewers.

Akala ko si maggiekarp yung marylou

this made me realize how much I want to learn mongolian, as my mom was born in mongolia, and she always would speak mongolian to her friends, but I only know words and phrases in mongolian rather than the whole language. I want to learn mongolian, but like you, there is some sort of barrier that stops me. This video, actually has inspired me to attempt to learn, so for that, thank you.

one of the best language learning videos i've seen

Your Mother raised you right, she deserved this.

arte, ichura nito LOL

You should learn the word Bakla ka

Freedom without purpose

Gen Alpha fella here, I have problems with kids around my age (12-14 year-ish). I have distanced myself from them, simply because I see them as "weird" or "dumb". After some time of starving myself of any social contact (Aside from my parents who are trying to understand me.). I start iternally and sometimes literally screaming at the mention of slangs like: Rizz, Skibidi toilet, Fanun tax, sigma, ect... And I hate myself for just existing in this god-awful generation that has such a bad reputation. I restrict myself from hearing out ANYTHING Gen Alpha related, something that is hyper-edited and popular with Gen Z and Gen Aplha. (For example: Tik Tok) And for that, I overwork myself to look better in comparison to those suckers who have a brainrot problems in their little, tiny brains. I overdo things at school, (Excluding homework) I attempt to make the teachers happy that they have a student who actually cares about listening to them and actually taking notes AND preparing for tests. If you make the math and count all the things I have just mentioned. You have a mentally tired, unfit kid with behaviour issues, that has all the talent, that can be easily phychologically hurt with simple words.

This is the first time I watched your video. It’s kinda funny and touching. ❤ keep going!! Talk more Filipino people around the world it’s a way to practice the language.

OMG I don't know you at all. This is my first time seeing your video. But as a fellow Filipino, I am so proud of you!

I'm filipino

Galing! 👏🏼
