Harvard introduces course in Tagalog for the first time

[@JC0820]

It is about time. There are so many Americans who want to live outside of the United States, either for love or just to escape the fast-paced life in the USA. Because of this, they will have the advantage of going to the country where they choose to live and can easily fit in. A very good job by Harvard University. Introducing and teaching different languages in their schools.

[@jennypai1776]

Lol, a lot of Americans who move abroad put ZERO effort in learning the language and complain locals have "Bad English"

[@renatzkigab2616]

Learning Tagalog will get you more closer with local in the Philippines during your visits and they will be very happy knowing that you speak their language. Any way as of today Philippines is Tri-Lingual country and that is the 1st which is the local native language, 2nd the National language and that is called Tagalog or Filipino and the last one is English.

[@constantinoaumentado8973]

Such a good news to end up my day. Awesome ❤

[@romeocivilino6667]

Just imagine how the learners gonna teach the Complex Tagalog Conjugation and the Modern Filipino Grammar System.

[@mareaholives326]

FR. filipinos outside tagalog-speaking locations even find english easier than tagalog due to its complexity XD

[@Ehrhtjybehegeggrhy]

[@JEPOYHEROBLOGG]

FILIPINO HERE WE LOVE TO HEAR THAT WE LOVE SO THAT MANY OF THE COUNTRY WILL UNDERSTAND US NOW TO BE ABLE TO LEARNED TAGALOG JUST ALWAYS USE TAGALOG PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT ITS NOT THAT HARD REALLY JUST BE CONSISTENT GOOGLE IS THEIR ONE BY ONE KNOW EVERY MEANING AND REMMBER

[@ytpaul1]

What tf do we care?? Philipinos just want to exploit our Dollar

[@ljbunso4450]

Filo here .. i completely understand that you must have a valid and strong reason if youre going to learn a language from a different country, it could be cultural related ( if youre watching korean series or anime series and you want to understand what they're saying without subtitles, ) or for industrial purposes, ( if youre working in that country and learning their language is a necessity) .. that's why im not expecting locals( americans )will have $trong desire to learn Tagalog as their second language since we dont have cultural and economic power to "lure" them in learning our language.. but one thing im really hoping, is that the parents of those half Filipinos or those pure Filipino children who grew up in a different culture will not let our language die and let their kids learn the language atleast as their second language.. i hope these Filipino -halfblood children in america will not forget that they have Filipino blood running in their veins ..

[@peterungson809]

Maganda Sana mga Pinoy ay magturo ng homeland dialect sa kanilang mga anak. Too often they want to "blend in" thus speak only English with their kids. This is true not only abroad but here in the Philippines. Taas noon kahit kanino! Kahit pango ang ilog mo! Filipinos Tayo!

[@xxxx2228]

Tayong mga Pilipino lang ata ang nationality na ikinahihiya ang mismong nationality natin... Even the Latinos are super proud of their own culture...

​@@stanbalomga pinalaki sa internet kasi mga ganyan, may nakmjs na ganyan, sariling magulang hindi na makausap yung anak kasi ibang lenggwahe(ingles) lang ang naririnig, ibig sabihin mas madalas pa syang maginternet kaysa kausapin ng magulang to the point na hindi na natutunan yung native language nya

[@Siddhartha040107]

That's because tagalog is gender neutral, no pronouns that separate male from female. Fit for woke US

[@ElbertMape]

Kahit hindi ka mag asawa ng pinay, puwede ka matuto ng Tagalog basta pursigido at determinado ka mag aral.

Wow! Are you even qualified to work at Harvard University eventhough you're not graduated at Harvard School? And you don't have any relatives to support your financial.. You're dream too big! HAHAHA And for your information you're not allowed to speak Tagalog their native language was an English.

filipino lamgguage is mixed langguage with english,tagalog,spanish,chinese,indonesia..

True, but tagalog means pure tagalog, no mix of anything, so it is harder to learn

This guy marco knows nothing about being Filipino

[@TickleMeElmo55]

I wouldn't go that far. He definitely has a tone about him that scream insecurity and victimhood. The language he used - alienation, representation, allies - is all from the post-modern liberal book of victimology 101.

[@charlesritter6640]

Talk about a slow News day. Is there even ONE PERSON in the entire country who cares about this story? Not to mention you can learn the language for FREE on YT

[@wwlee5]

It's about getting credit for it while learning. Otherwise, everyone can learn everything on KZbin and not go to college

[@arichan7599]

Tagalog is a pretty difficult language very different from how most languages structure their sentences. Watching videos won't do much

[@gabrieltristan4672]

Ibeg to dis agree to this pilipino guy about being not asian look he is wrong

[@Erick-ev5zt]

He's probably referring to East Asians. That might be true and not true. Some Filipinos look like east asians given its proximity to China/Taiwan and Japan. Maybe that was his own opinion.

[@TickleMeElmo55]

[@mariavilmaomabtang3364]

That's good. I observed some Pilipino come and stay where they migrated country specialty speak English and forgot thier own race language? Then, still have guts to come back Philippines, speak English surrounded by own family who can speak own language, how is that's? Like, wow a nerve! Speak English but don't look white? Can we love our own? While others giving important?

[@davexvillar2.074]

Ok then why are you speaking in English when you’re a Filipino? Can’t u love your own language as well? Oh c’mon.

[@bernardvillanueva6373]

its becoz our grammar is more cleaarer than the other countries when we deliver the words.

[@HexagonTheGreat]

Tagalog is one of the most difficult language for English speakers.. despite a lot of borrowed words used in this language.. we still have the most complicated grammar

[@Rolando_Cueva]

Tagalog doesn't exist, its actually Taglish 😅

[@liamgekzua477]

So what

[@jboycaceres2871]

It still exists. Go to rural Tagalog areas....There is a Tagalog Region in the Philippines, it's so big that it's divided into two different regions. MIMAROPA and CALABARZON. If you go there, especially in the town and rural barrios, they still speak the pure Tagalog or at least the contemporary pure Tagalog (w/Spanish admixtures).

[@melvinalonzo35]

TAGALOG IS NOT A LANGUAGE BUT A.MAJOR DIALECT IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE FILIPINO IS THE language.

[@gav214]

tagalog is a language and dialect is a variation of a language. For example, Batangas tagalog

[@noelrafael91]

Tagalog is a language. Tagalog in Batangas is dialect. Kapampangan is a language. You see the difference? If you can still understand the variation of the language despite differences in tones and word usage it's a dialect. But if you can't entirely understand the language just like how I don't understand my grandma's pure kapampangan language before then that's a language. Know the difference please of language vs dialect.

[@aocaoc3417]
