Hi, I'm April. I would like to start learning Tagalog. I am Filipino-American, born in Chicago, Illinois in the United States. Both of my parents are from the Philippines as well as most of my cousins. My parents spoke a little Tagalog to me when I was little, but they did not continue teaching my sister and me, so I spoke English most of my life. My parents speak in Tagalog a lot, but they speak to us in English. I understand many words in Tagalog, but I don't know how to speak it correctly (sentence structure, grammar, etc.). I would like to start learning Tagalog so I can communicate better with my elder relatives and be able to speak so I can visit the Philippines and connect more with my culture!
