Excellent, because that is exactly what this book has been designed to help you with, in the most engaging, fun way! It is well-known that a language is best learned and retained when it is meaningful and presented in context, which is why short stories are such a great tool to use when youre learning a new language. Tagalog is spoken by about 20 million people as a native language, and largely spoken on the islands of Luzon, where Manila, the capital of the Philippines is located. Tagalog is also spoken in other parts of the world, there are over 400,000 Tagalog speakers in Canada and about 1.6 million speakers in the United States, making Tagalog the fourth most-spoken language in the country. One advantage in visiting the Philippines is that you can get by with English.

At least, its one of the reasons cited by the bulk of foreigners enjoying vacations in the country and catching some good sun, sand and surf in Boracay, Cebu, Palawan or another one of the awesome beaches. However, if you want to stand above the rest of the visitors, invest some time in learning some Tagalog words. Definitely, youll be stamped in the minds of locals as the foreigner who can speak Tagalog for all eternity. You might be learning Tagalog because youre moving to the Philippines or to a Tagalog-speaking community in other parts of the world, because your partner or someone else in your family speaks Tagalog, or out of pure linguistic interest. Improving your Tagalog is especially important if you are moving to the Philippines for work, study or family, because even though Filipinos speak excellent English, its by no means possible to integrate completely without speaking Tagalog well. Languages are intricately linked to a countrys culture, so in order to really understand a cultures finer aspects, you need to be able to speak the language well.

Well now elaborate on how this book can help you on the way to mastering Tagalog in a way that doesnt feel like youre studying at all! What the following book is about Weve written this book to provide you as a Tagalog learner with concise, captivating stories that occur in a range of settings across the Philippines. The main characters vary in age and background, as do the topics and plots of the stories, making them very relatable and engaging every time. Special attention was paid to the length, vocabulary level and grammatical complexity of the language used in the stories so that theyre perfect for upper basic and lower intermediate levels. Besides, the type of language used is very natural, with plenty of dialogues, which reflect conversations in real life very closely and will, therefore, support the improvement of both receptive (reading and listening) and productive (speaking and writing) language skills. Our goal with this book is to supply you with useful, entertaining, helpful and challenging material that will not only allow you to learn the language but also help you pass the time and make the experience less formal and more fun as any good language lesson should be. We will not bore you with grammatical notes, spelling or structure: the book has been well-written and revised to ensure that it covers those aspects without having to explain them with complicated rules as textbooks do.

It would be a mistake to think stories only entice children: they work in very much the same way for adults! The context of each story will introduce a lot of vocabulary in a very natural way, and the characters and plot will give it meaning and help you store the vocabulary in your memory. The protagonists will learn valuable life lessons, experience surprising events, live through difficult moments, and maybe even fall in love, and youll remember the words used to describe their experiences through the emotions attached to them. How Tagalog Short Stories for Beginners has been laid out Each chapter revolves around a story that was purposefully set in a very different background to the previous, enabling us to introduce a wide range of vocabulary every time. Every chapter consists of the following:

1. A story about a familiar situation that you can easily read in one sitting which never includes more than a few characters, making it easy to follow the storyline and take in the vocabulary.
2. A short summary of the storys main events both in Tagalog and English, which is a first tool to help you corroborate your understanding.
3. A vocabulary list with the English translation of the words that were highlighted in the text. Weve made sure that new vocabulary is accumulative, meaning that new words only appear highlighted once, and other words are prioritized in subsequent chapters.
4. A list of five multiple-choice questions about each text with their respective answers to help you double-check your comprehension, which also serves to teach you some more vocabulary as it appears in the questions and answers.

This format has proven to work very well since the length of the stories is very manageable and gives you just the right amount of vocabulary to take in, every time. The book has been designed for you to use autonomously without any outside help, apart from perhaps an additional dictionary.
