Take your Filipino/Tagalog to the next level with Tagalog Slang. This is a
dedicated phrasebook that will teach the user to say and quickly recognize
common phrases in a myriad of life’s situations: hanging out with friends,
going to gatherings, the ever popular Filipino “chismis” (gossip) talk, and
pop culture sayings (stuff you’ll hear with friends and in Filipino movies all
the time). A lot of the phrases you’ll find in this app aren’t usually taught
in books and classes. Most may learn these phrases in bits and pieces only
through interactions with their Filipino friends.

There are almost 650 total phrases and 60 essential words spread over 3
categories. This dedicated phrasebook expands on the 250 item sentences
section found in our highly rated sister app Conversational Tagalog. While
Conversational Tagalog teaches the beginner a proper way of using words to
form sentences, everyday conversations in any language consist of phrases and
sayings that may not mean what is said literally. For example, “wait a sec”
doesn’t mean that you want the listener to wait exactly one second. It can
mean that you are busy at the moment and you will get back to them as soon as
you can. Or, it can signal that there is something that was spoken that will
need clarification.

Those new to the language will get a quick primer on phrases that would
normally fly right by them. You’ll learn to recognize these popular phrases as
they are spoken. After a little practice by listening to the native speaker,
you’ll sound like a pro. Your friends and acquaintances will be amazed!!

Included in this product are:

1. An almost 650 item phrase book and over 60 select words spread out over 3
categories:

-Love and Dating
-Comments and Observations
-Arguments
Listen to the native speaker speak each word or phrase!! Practice along!!

2. A global search function to allow for easy lookup in English or Filipino.
(Partial words/phrases are allowed)

3. A ‘Quiz Me’ game that tests you on random phrases/words in the phrase book.

4. A ‘Teach Me 1’ random phrase display screen so that you can learn a new
phrase at random without the distraction or stress of seeing a long phrase
list.

DON’T EXPECT R RATED (OR WORSE) PHRASES IN THIS PHRASEBOOK. This app’s phrases
are rated at PG. You’ll find a lot of the included phrases/words at typical
friends and family gathering, movies, and everyday like. Even though there are
no R rated expressions, you’ll be able to hold your own in a multitude of
situations.

IT IS NOT A DEDICATED DICTIONARY APP OR SENTENCE BUILDER. A focus of this app
is to teach the user a lot of popular phrases that you’ll hear in the Filipino
culture. We have a highly rated sister app called Conversational Tagalog that
has a 2000 item word list/mini dictionary and 250 sentences that teach
sentence building through patterns and word substitutions. Once you’ve got an
idea of how sentences are built from our app Conversational Tagalog, this app
will take you to the next level. You’ll be able to use what you’ve learned in
Conversational Tagalog to make the sentences in Tagalog Slang your own.
