Hello Manuel,
Thank you for this site. I am an assistant pastor in an Australasian church in Australia mainly Filipino and I love them all. I needed some very simple Tagalog lessons I could download onto my ipod. Now when I am in a waiting room or on public transport I can practise. Keep up the good work thanks again. Glennys.

[From Manuel] Thanks for dropping by, Glennys!

Some of the words you used are not colloquial Tagalog. Luntian or green should be ‘berde’. Bughaw or blue should be ‘asul’. Violet should be ‘ube’. Sure, the first 2 are derived from Spanish, while the 3rd is from a purple root crop, but isn’t that how language evolves? Who calls green ‘luntian’ in everyday use? Heck, most people even say ‘kulay grin’ when saying ‘color green’ in Tagalog.

[From Manuel] Thanks, Pastor! As this podcast evolves, I will include more colloquial Tagalog. :-)
