[@billcowhig5739]

Hello Jonah, si Langing (Kano). My asawa (who named me) grew up in Davao City, married me in 2001. Ever since, I have repeatedly “attempted” to learn Bisaya by trying to understand a book I bought that I know was well written. I have been unhappy that I could not learn, and have been blaming myself all this (long) time for not being able to learn Bisaya. I say all that to highlight the fact that your Bisaya lessons are a kaayo easier way to learn the language. Until now, I could not purposefully put together a proper Bisayan sentence. I would just smile whenever I recognized anything she or her family said! But now that we have a plan to move there so she can immerse me in the ways of the Filipino people, which has made this Bisayan learning process essential. My hurdle now is memorizing the key ingredients, which will require persistence, but from watching THIS one lesson, I am convinced that I will be able to learn Bisaya. I owe you many thanks, maganda Jonah! Being able to converse, well, that may be another problem. But daghan salamat to you for doing the excellent job you did in producing this lesson. I like your gentle way of teaching.

[@majorcarlton137]

You have been such a blessing in my pursuit to learn Bisaya. Salamat Po! ❤

[@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891]

Happy to hear that!

[@richardbritt1625]

Daghan Salamat! We really appreciate all your time and efforts to create these lessons. I’m committed to learning and your videos are excellent. Do you still do the Bisaya word for the day?

[@jimsherod8786]

This is a great lesson. I'd say the text lagging after was a problem for me, but I just kept rewinding and fast forwarding. I've never studied Bisaya previously, so this lesson is a real "god-send" to me. Thanks so much! I will watch the past lessons and whatever you have posted since (this was 5 months ago when I viewed it). May the Lord Jesus bless you!

[@acjm472985]

looks like ill be watching a lot of vids, thank you im leaning some things

[@RogersKitchen]

Thank you for your videos. I’m learning and appreciate your videos. I did get a little confused on the verb tenses and when to use which prefix with which verb. I’m sure I’ll get better understanding. Thank you so much.

Glad you learned. Keep it up

My girlfriend is born and raised in Cebu. I wanna surprise her by speaking in her language and understanding her better. Super thankful that I found your videos!

[@crisative]

Hello Jonah! I’m half Pilipina and I’m trying to revise my Bisaya, because I stopped talking it for years. And I think a way that could help to recover my Bisaya is if you could maybe do a bisaya vlog or just a video where you only talk in Bisaya! Maybe document your day or talk about things you like, which I think would be a great way to learn Bisaya! It’s okay if you don’t do it though, it was merely a suggestion/request ^^ I just really want to be able to talk Bisaya again and be closer to my distant relatives. That’s all! Have a nice day Jonah and thank you for the video ^^

[@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891]

That’s a nice suggestion. Haven’t tried doing it. Lemme try.😍

Akong mga ginikanan gikan og Leyte, Nanay og Tatay ilang ipatawag ug ang bed kay higdaanan. I enjoy listening to other Bisaya speakers from different places because although dialects of Cebuano Bisaya are mutually intelligible, after a while, you will notice the differences. :)

School - Tunghaan in bisaya its common to say eskwelahan, eskwelahan is close translation in Tagalog, but Tunghaan is unique bisaya translation for School

[@adtc]

Agreed. never heard of "tunghaan" but always hear "eskwelahan" a lot. Perhaps it's Spanish influence.

In future can you show the entire list of words you’re going to go over before you say them? I’m a visual learner, so it’s easier for me if I can see what you’re talking about before you say it. It was lagging behind in this video. Not criticizing just asking for myself ❤️ ty I love these videos!!

hi po teacher jonah! I've been learning bisaya from u since last week, still confused what's the difference between UG and OG 😊

[@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891]

Ug- and Og- usually added before a direct object of a sentence. Example: Muinom ko og tubig. I will drink water.

I really enjoy your videos. You have a nice voice and good at explaining. I was wondering, do you recommend any good books to learn bisaya?

[@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891]

Thank you for being here so early dear student. I'll do my research and get back to you. So far, I cannot recommend any as most of the Bisaya Books I know covers deep Bisaya lessons and not the conversational.

[@ZBeg-ns3bf]

I wouldn't mind deep lessons, I plan to live in the ph so I hope to be fluent one day in Bisaya​@@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891

does sakyanan and awto also work for car? Akong mga parents nag-ingon sakyanan ug awto. Also, unsa ang bisaya word for "parent(s)"?

[@adtc]

Sakyanan is very common for cars and generally small vehicles. I think some people use auto/awto for cars. I've never heard of "kotse". The word for parents is ginikanan.

[@nimfaalo9221]

Please emphasize that kuya and ate are really tagalog words but we cebuanos are now using these 2 words. Teach them the correct bisaya term, which is manoy or manong, inday, dodong.

[@valeranordstrom7198]

I currently have si mga babae ug sa parki how would i say is going?

[@BobbyRosales]

It’s CEBUANO! CEBUANO! CEBUANO! What do you call the Waray and Bohol dialects? Or even the Ilonggo’s Hiligaynon dialects? They are all VISAYA dialects.

[@joseortega1875]

And kuya to show respect to elder brothers oe men and ate for women?

[@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891]

Normally, tagalog people use ate for elder women and kuya for elder men but in bisaya, we use ante if the women has a great age difference than the speaker and angkol for men.

[@joseortega1875]

Nanay could be mother and tatay father?

Yes correct. Tama

[@miko2577]

Maestra Jonah, unsay ang differensiya sa "putot" kaysa sa "mubo?

[@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891]

Putot: someone who’s short. Usually used to describe a person who’s short in terms of height. Mubo: short. Can be used to anything that’s short. Sometimes, it can also be used to describe a person too.

Cebuano language (Bisaya) has NO tenses, but rather aspects.

[@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891]

[@61JWolf]

Is naglimpyo really the correct word for the past tense of limpyo? My wife (from Bohol) is telling me that nag is a present tense prefix. And that "gilimpyohan" is the correct way to say "cleaned". At least one other site indicates that nag can be either present or past tense. However, your instructions for this particular set of prefixes does not mention this. Your instruction only mentions that the prefix "na" is used for both present and past tense. Very confusing this language - Cebuano. I'm not trying to be insulting - your efforts are appreciated. I just want to know what is the proper way to say the word.

[@pedrotinaco1]

Nanglimpyo is used if the focus is on the doer (present and past aspect). Nanglimpyo mi. We cleaned. Gilimpyohan is used if the focus is on the thing(s) being cleaned (present and past aspect). Gilimpyohan niya ang kusina. He cleaned "the kitchen."

[@philam1973]

Cebu has no now schools to learn bisaya. . I have 7 years here learning and most of these online lessons don’t help me. Online lessons ask pesyo sa America. Very risky. Asy suggestion?

[@adtc]

Hey, I'm also here for almost as long as you. Online resources for learning the language are very much lacking, and if you consider learning Grammar, it's virtually non-existent. This is probably the only one I've seen that explains grammar extremely well, and that's considering that Bisayan grammar is complex and the words change depending on context. It is not directly relatable to English or other Latin languages. Visayans are also very fond of shortening words, much more than English speakers do, and it's a natural part of the language. The best way to learn is to practice by speaking with Cebuanos. Videos like this are great to get a head-start though, to help you make sense of something that generally doesn't seem to make sense.

[@philam1973]

@@adtc i agree with you. However, I no longer am “supervising” a construction project. I learned all the names of tools, materials, construction verbs both there and at the hardware stores. I speak near perfect Visaya until somebody starts explaining something outside of my vocabulary. Slow down? They believe I’m fluent. Explain vocabulary? Not often. At home is where nobody has patience to teach me. If my grandkids get old enough, they might be my best hooe. Their English surpassed my Visaya months ago. They have a native speaker to correct them almost 24/7.
