These are important reasons:
1.; Philippines is one of the most fluent english speaking in the world, grammar structure, pronunciation and accent. Filipinos always tried to used English in their normal communication. It means that in 10 Filipinos, 7 of those used Taglish (Tagalog ang English), Bisglish (Bisaya-English) and other native language that integrate english. Though not all Filipinos used English they could still understand it.
2. Expenses- Philippines had three times lower cost of living than in U.S and other country. They had cheaper food and rent.
3. Philippines had a very high quality education when it comes to standard of learning.
This is why Philippines is a good destination when it comes to education. They could learned with low cost of expenses and having a high standard of education.
Thanks for adding your ideas to this video interview. ☺️🙇🏽🙏🏾
English is a like a secondary language, or I would say 'formal', all our official documents like marriage certificates, official transcript of records, deeds of sales are written in English. Street names and directions are also written in English.
Almost, everyone can understand English, some might have a heavy accent in speaking but most do understand English by hearing, reading and writing
Thank you for this great additional insight!
Philippines is the 3rd largest english speakers in the world.
Because Philippines is known the best in grammar in English aside from cheaper, friendly and it's already proven all over the world that Filipino are properly good and fluently speak in English because of the high standard in education.
Thanks for taking the time to share your ideas. ☺️ Hope you're enjoying your day!
Filipino english accent is much better compared to other countries where their main languages is nớt English, and we are very conscious when it comes to grammar, that, even the english speaking people themselves don’t care if your english is grammatically correct or not.
Ohh, thanks for that additional insight!
For a cost effective way to learn American classroom English, go to the Philippines.
Nice idea! : ]
I like country songs. That said, let me say that nobody is bothered by the erroneous grammar in some lyrics as long as they sound great !
It matter when a Filipino is trying to get a job abroad. Grammar and fluency are very important.
Funny on some koreans make fun of Filipinos and call them uneducated people...but here they are, studying english in Philippines.
Hmmmm, everyone regardless of nationality will always have something to say. Hopefully, we, Filipinos will continue to improve ourselves so we won't always be made fun of. 🤞🏾
filipinos are good english speakers, good pronounciation, fees are affortable, good quality of education
Oh, hello there. 👋
Thanks for taking time to comment your thoughts regarding this.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend. :)
affordable tuition fees
foreign students curriculum friendly
low cost of living for foreigners
Spot on! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
it’s cheaper here in the Phil.
Yes, it is. :]]
say affordable,not cheap
It's like saying bathroom rather than toilet?
❤❤❤👍👍👍
coz it's cheap to study english here in the Philippines... some of our filipino are working as English teachers in some Asian countries and they are paid more compared to an english teacher here in the Philippines
💯!!! That’s the (sad?) reality.
Our English is clearer more clearer than Americans from LA and New York. Idk in todays schools but in our time in the 60 -80's, our english grammar cannot be contested as we are the best english speaking nation back in the days that you cannot fear speaking of it adding that it is much cheaper and reliable than any other asian country that has a language slangs and intonations.
Oh thanks for sharing! I would love to hear the variations of English speakers especially those from LA and New York.
I understand you're Filipino and you feel like you need to be proud of something, but you should read your own English before bragging that Filipinos are so good.
Filipino don't speak better than Americans. That's ridiculous. Very few Filipinos can have a conversation with me. I am an American living in the philippines for two years. Only those with many years in college can have an in-depth conversation.
What??? Sure I'll agree with the clear speaking but not much in fluency, grammar and proficiency. Those who study well and have better education are Filipinos you can converse well with but those who are not are not.
when you say english, remember, there are two things to deal with,written english or oral english ... the filipino written english is really good bcuz of how they were taught in schools, especially private schools,the reason when it comes to grammar, spelling & everything, it's close to perfect if it's not perfect,but when it comes to oral english,there's some few things that need to improve, especially the pronunciation,so that the english speaking countries can understand easily when it comes to conversation,but it can easily corrected since the philippines used english alphabet compare to a lot of countries & of course ,the philippines' fascination of hollywood .... that's why a lot filipino singers can easily sing american,brit,canadian & aussie songs with no problem & can copy it like the original ... & it's also the reason the filipinos who immigrated or worked in canada,u.k,aussie,nz & u.s were able to communicate with the locals with no problem whatsoever ..... lastly,one thing i've noticed,the written english of some people from english speaking countries aren't perfect either .... some don't even know how to use ... where & were ,hole & whole,their & there,your & you're & some words that i can't remember ,but i read a lot mostly in the comment sections in a lot of websites that i go .... even some black folks well say or write "we was" instead of the correct way "we were" .... the lesson to learn is,we shouldn't brag about it cuz when it comes to written & oral english,no one is perfect either ....
I don't know why the national language of the Philippines is still called "Tagalog". It really should be "Taglish". 🙂
Just to be clear. That place is the Visayas Cebu so it's best there to learn English than in Luzon. Visaya's are way better in speaking englishb and here in tagalog is you'll be discouraged instead.
Thanks for that insight. I do have Tagalog-speaking friends who speak English eloquently. 🤭
@@HitoguraChanJapanIf you want to learn English with a Visayan accent go ahead and study in Cebu. If you want to learn the real English study in prestigious schools in Luzon and talk to professionals in Makati, Alabang, Easwood, and BGC. If you want to end up pronouncing BICYCLE as BAISIKOL by all means stay in Cebu. International Call Centers proliferate in Metro Manila but only a few in Cebu.

Thanks for the flowers! : ]]
Hope you are enjoying the weekend.
Another Click Bait? Those interviewed here were mostly Filipinas' and only a handful were foreigners.
it should be the foreigners whose should be interviewed so that we can get their insights why they are studying in the PH but you interviewed mostly filipinos😂
Coz it's cheaper and not racist country unlike five eye countries
Sorry, I don't get what you meant by "five eye countries". What does that mean? 🤭
@@HitoguraChanJapan it's uk, usa, canada, new zealand & australia
@@ritogamo9830 ohhh I see. Thanks! Learned something new today. 😅🙇🏽
English Filipino is the same as American or British English the only difference was the accent..
Which do you like more, American English or British English? : ]
Mostly true. There are many words that have different meanings, but Filipinos don't realize. Filipinos say "slang" and not accent. Napkin is tissue and so on. It took my wife a couple of years to get used to American English in the US.
Differences in the English language are interesting. It's nice to know that you exposed your wife to American English there in the U.S. Hopefully, we can see what life is like there in your future videos. 🤞🏾
Wag naman “cheap” say AFFORDABLE, REASONABLE FEE, ganyan
Ganun p dn un ehh.. 😅😅
nothing will change lol
The word "cheap" connotes inferior quality for the price you pay. I agree the word "affordable," which means more accessible to a greater number of interested folks.
If you notice, even young Filipinos have difficulty speaking in English. Koreans have to understand that when learning from a Filipino, they will acquire the Filipino accent. Maybe learn basic English in the Philippines and then switch to an English app.
They Study in the PHILIPPINES because we are more GRAMMATICALLY correct ORALLY and WRITTEN compare to other English SPEAKING Countries and it is more EASY and CHEAPER to STUDY in our COUNTRY. We are No 1 in the WORLD when it comes to Written Especially in Business COMPREHENSIONS /Business Letters..etc.
They s*study in the Philippines because we are more grammatically correct.* Orally and written compared* to other English speaking countries.* We are no.* 1 in the world when it comes to written,* e*specially in business comprehension*(remove space between word)/business letters.(remove extra period)
Every asterisk I added to your comment indicates an error. If your comment is an indication of our grammar, I can clearly tell we are far from the best.
WHY THEY COME here? Kay way kaligo ang mga foreigners, humot ang mga dalaga namo. And then there's the "cool" factor. If you went to Germany and announced you're from North Dakota, you're not going to get laid. If you said you're from the Philippines, the Germans would say "sehr schön" and you're most likely get invited to their party. Besides, does anyone really prefer Rotterdam to Palawan?! I don't think so, baby. :)
You don't need school to study. TH-cam is the best school for English. and it is free.
For others its hard if they doht have basic knowledge
@@ahnonymuz9921 .
there are basic English grammar tutorial also here in youtube just seach... it.
Do you know anybody who learned English through TH-cam and has completely grasped the language? English isn't that easy to learn to be honest.
Well, TH-cam does have tons of free resources. I agree with you on that. However, pursuing a corporate job or higher education needs documents/proofs of English proficiency. 🤭
Learning English, especially for speakers of languages like Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or others with different alphabets, requires consistent exposure. Immersing yourself in the language through reading, listening, and speaking is crucial for developing proficiency in English.
Have you noticed that visayans speak english well that the native tagalog.😂😂😂 its because english is a common denominator language because the philippines has a lot of dialects(local language)...the filipinas interviewed are correct because Filipinos speak english well because they are taught from grade shool to college..
I agree. Back in grade school and high school, we only had four hours of Filipino classes in a week as compared to five hours of weekly English classes. Good thing I can practice my Tagalog/Filipino with my kababayans here in Japan. : ]]]
Sorry but most Filipinos are not very good in English. Many are too shy to answer us in English when we speak to them. Philippines is certainly not a good reference for English.
Regionalism..that is why bisayans prefer to speak in bisayan than in Tagalog..
They can speak english well ? But you cant construct a proper grammar. 🤔💀
@@quenchtv5436Let's be honest.. Everything is bad in the Philippines. Simply everything. It's a nation of mediocrity where no one tries to improve things. About the education system, teachers are very poorly paid and offer the services they're paid for: Bad. Kids learn nothing. They do dancing, play on their phones, often don't show up at school etc. There used to be one school book for 8 students. Now it's 1 book for 2 students. There's a lot of corruption about school books too that includes propaganda and false history teaching. Kids are left in ignorance.
Because grammar nazis are prevalent here
😂 well, that is somehow true.
Philippines English much better tahn any other countries in asia
🤔🤭 Thanks for dropping by and watching the video. Nice pic! Did you go island hopping?
Not true. India speaks better English, so does Singapore and and Malaysia.
@@travellolo It means the clear spoken English. Filipinos have more better grasp of it than any other Asian countries. If you talk to an ordinary Filipino as long that they can speak with proper grammar you can understand them clearly. Some English pronunciation especially in American accent could not be easily understood but if you talk to a Filipino then you will understand. For a proficient and fluent Filipino English then search "Lea Salongga" and listen how she speaks English. We hit every syllables that's the reason. We ignore the american accent if we are proficient.
@canyouthefandango3220 I have lived in the Philippines for almost two years. There are many studies that prove that Indians and Singaporeans speak better English. In my experience 25% of Filipinos don't speak any English at all. Some 50% speak a little and 25% speak enough to understand well.
Please don't speak other language .not all understand.please speaks english if you respond
Thank you for this. Hopefully, other nationalities can understand through the subtitles. 🤭 🙇🏽
