Yeah, especially in Cebu City. Most Cebuanos don't want to learn Tagalog. Same for the Tagalog speaking people, most of them don't want to learn or speak the Bisayan dialects. I live there before that's why I know.
We filipinos start learning english at a very young age usually in pre school like nursery, kinder prep some of the books , coloring books are all in english teachers speak english to students so they learn from them and eventually students can easily speak english
Three things I know why filipinos are good at speaking english 1. It uses for job interview. 2. In school, teachers taught us how to speak and write in english. 3. Television & books.
You know most of the kids here in Philippines can speak english too like 2 or 3 years old because their parents talk them in english. We also learned english on internet like facebook. If you can see here it too in Philippines we don't usually used Tagalog like in like in ano HAHHAHAHAHAHHQ. We can't speak in pure tagalog because sometimes we don't know the word in tagalog. So our language is TAGLISH mixed tagalog and english like SANA ALL HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
For some strange reason, kids find learning English easier than Filipino. My brother speaks to my nephew and nieces in both languages but they prefer replying in English. I will have to make them practice speaking in Filipino as well.

English begin at home. Our parents teach us from numbers to alphabet. Thats why our language is halo halo or mix mix. You can't speak straight bisaya or tagalog without any mix of English words.
English is introduced to us as early as 5yrs. Old...most kids nowadays are fluent in english because of the cartoons they watch and the social media as well...even the pronounciation thru phonics...
I don’t think you are forced to speak in English. We didn’t start learning in elementary or high school, it’s when you enter pre school or kindergarten. Some parents choose to speak English to their kids when they are born.
To be honest, the best way to learn english is to watch english movies.. as for conversational English, watch a Sitcom or some variety shows in the US.. To be able to pick up the accent tho, it needs more practice and more exposure.. You have to live like an american.. haha skl.. i learned by watching cartoons when i was young.
Umm I learned by watching with my baby cousin by watching some for kids cartoons 😂😂😂cuz whenever her parents are buying groceries sometimes I babysit her so I ended up like in boredom watching with her📺😂😂
i learned Americanized English when I took Call Center course on TESDA. the training was amazing. its focus is to make Filipino accent into American accent.
Even though your subject is FILIPINO but our prof. Discussed and explained it in english and whut. Hahhaha but still not perfect grammar but they can understand and communicate which is important. I can speak bisaya, and taglish.

This will be done mostly on english, science and math subject. . Nagiging tahimik ang classroom . .may magtataas lang ng kamay kc mag ex excuse mag cr. .
I remember in 6th grade, we were required to speak english the moment we step in school premises. To avoid getting fined, we started adding suffixes like -er, -tion, -ize everytime we accidentally say words in vernacular.
Who won't learn english here in Philippines? Everything is in ENGLISH, The Social Medias, the television and newspaper, the movies are mostly in english language.

First of all, English is the medium of instruction in the Philippines. We study and learn from pre-school to post graduate studies using the English language. Needless to say we learn the English language in school. Then we get better at it as we use it in our daily lives: reading newspapers or books, watching movies/tv series and shows, listening to music, etc. But English is not enough for us. There is much we can say well only in Filipino/Tagalog. I think Filipinos are evolving in the way they process their thoughts and feelings because we use both Tagalog and English.... If you put together in one room different English speaking nationalities and make them discuss a topic, you will notice not only different accents but mostly different use of English to develop their ideas. Nowadays, many Filipinos are not only bilingual but multilingual. The world is getting small. Or maybe Philippines is getting bigger? You find Filipinos in all parts of the world....
Even Filipino kids knows how to communicate in English. Because at an early age parents are teaching them at home or allowing them to watch english cartoons. And when they go to school, that's where their English communication skills develop.
Actually, the girl who's wearing a white uniform was right, we are forced to learn or using the English language because here in my country one of the major subjects in school is English since pre-school so basically we need and we must too. Also, it's not about the different alphabet that we use that's why Filipino is good while Korean is not. NO. Because if we are going to use that excuses what about India? they have different alphabets yet most of them know how to speak or using the English language. We love our countries as well as our native language but we need to embrace the influence of using the English language in order for us to communicate and understand each other with our different nationalities, races, or ethnicity. :)
The Philippine alphabet is easy to learn,than Korean..한국말 is not easy to learn,Korean has 21 vowels and 19 consonants!!Im aKorean Language instructor,korean Language is very interesting too!!감사함니다!!
Since Elementary i learn English because the teacher told me study hard English and that's the requirements of student that's why all Filipino is very good English🇵🇭❤🇰🇷
Oppa, English is taught starting from Kindergarten or Pre-School until College. My father is from Luzon and my Mother is from Cebu and Dumaguete, They both speak English at home because Mom can't understand my Fathers Dialect and my Dad dont understand Bisaya. So we speak English to Dad because he don't understand Bisaya..😊
@@leeanne1979 , Hello, I think it's about being more comfortable with the second language. I don't know if it's the case with the op's parents but I would like to give an idea why. To be honest, here in Bisaya places (esp in my locality and other Bisdak places that I've been), we do not use Tagalog that much compared to English. The signages are in English sometimes translated to Bisaya. Programs are in Bisaya or English - even church services are between the two. In my case, since we don't have TV or radio so we don't hear Tagalog. Pero pag nakakarinig ako ng radio from neighbors, more on English and Bisaya pa rin (though some songs being played are Tagalog). The newspapers are in English (even in the school libraries) and I see more Bisaya tabloids too (noon may Tagalog tabloids akong nakikita pero wala na masyado ngayon). Our socmed is full of either in Bisaya and English - there are lots of Bisaya influencers na rin and Bisaya singers and songs. In my place, there are weeks that I don't hear Tagalog being spoken at all. Siguro napapakinggan lang (like songs) pero hindi nagagamit. Maybe op's parents have the same experience that I have (for non-Tagalog speakers) so they automatically use English as second language. That feeling that you understand Tagalog but do not know how to speak it properly. If I use Tagalog, I usually think first in Cebuano then my mind try to translate it to English first then to Tagalog. I actually don't why hahaha. Sorry if this is too long :)
@@jayjunwellgilig570, Maypa ka Jay. It's on the individual Jud and how they are comfortable w/ using a 2nd language ay. Aq, I'm not exposed to Tagalog kaayo so I don't have someone to speak to. Wrong grammar pa gale qs Bisaya (halos everyday ginakasab-an sa mudra), samot nas English 😅
I Learned english because I discovered TH-cam and started randomly exploring. I quickly got attached to it unlike some children they normally play outside. When I was a Kid I was an introvert I don't even speak in school at all I was kinda shy to speak english but as time flies by I started getting really confident and picked up an accent from movies that I watch with my Family and here I am now speaking the language normally.
when they teach us pure FILIPINO we will be doomed specially math because most of mathematics Tagalog term are tooooo deep for us to understand and it's doesn't make sense
We start studying at the age at four, and in that age we already have an english subject till college 😂 how come you will not learn it, if your are weak in english you will be weak in science and math because science and math is tough in english, even the book of math and science is in English.
Honestly, I cannot speak in straight Cebuano. It's always a mix of English and Cebuano.... I don't even know the Cebuano terms of some English words.... And this is something that I am not proud of. 😑
I can relate..Cebuanos are having a hard time speaking straight Bisaya..not so proud about it..but I don't have to stress too much about it..atleast we could communicate and express ourselves better to get along well with others
I'd be better if you shouldn't have mentioned those DRIVERS, 'coz you know not all of them aren't just drivers many of them actually are degree holder or maybe they're English speakers since a very young age, that they just didn't got to find a good job or they actually chose to be a driver. There's no profession requirement for someone to learn the English language, it's for all. ❤️ But I love yours videos tho. ❤️
Just digging deeper into history. America's priority as soon as they colonized the Philippines is education over 100 years ago. It just stayed even after many years.
Yes going back to history , our first teachers were Americans and those who had their education under these Americans could speak English fluently.Engl is taught at home already at an early age.Nowadays our kids watch cartoons which give them a good venue for learning and using the language. In school it is the medium of instruction Engl courses are part of the curriculum of the different educational levels .Lastly in all aspects of our life Engl is a very important language / tool for communication.Thank you for your comments and observations about our skill in using the Engl language. But this is not to set aside of our national language which is also given importance in our learning and using the language.
from the moment a Filipino child is born parents usually speak simple English to them...for example: "i love you baby" or when they are a bit older they say "beautiful eyes" for babies to make cute faces....so they start early with words that is commonly used, like shoes, slippers, phone, pencil, bag etc etc etc and many others 😁 .... start early with simple words and slowly incorporate them to other english words
Being once an American colony has a great influence on the Filipino culture especially the language ... philippines is the most westernized country in Asia.. we love western music.. tv shows... movies... that's so much exposure to the English language
Hindi lahat ng pilipino magaling mag ingles. Tolad ko laking provensya elementarya ako wala ako paki alam sa ingles. Hanggang makatapos ako sa mataas na paaralan diko natutunan. Salitang tagalog lang talaga ang kinalakihan ko. (not all Filipinos are fluent in English. like me. born in the province. elementary I don't pay much attention to English. until I finished high school. I really grew up with only Filipino words.)
I taught my son to speak Filipino and English at the same time when he was a baby. But now he's 7 years old he speaks english fluently. He even better than me. But the sad thing is he cannot speak Filipino fluently. That's is also what I noticed in other children. So now I'm talking with him in Filipino even he answers in English to me.
During my grandfather's time, Spanish was the medium of instruction. He took up law in Colegio de Sto. Tomas. Later, after WWII, he became the Secretary to the Mayor of Cebu City and was often asked to speak before the public. He had to learn English on his own. In his old age, he would often recite Jose Rizal's "Mi Ultimo Adios" first in Spanish, then in English, then in Cebuano. My Lolo (grandfather) was truly an amazing guy!!! After WWII, the Americans occupied the Philippines and established the "Normal Schools." Even in public schools (in Cebu), English was used as the medium of instruction. That's why many Cebuanos could speak and understand basic or conversational English. Educators should understand that most of our textbooks are written in English. Books in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. are mostly if not all are written in English. A child who has a wide vocabulary in English would easily comprehend the text compared to one whose vocabulary is quite limited. Today, English has become the "lingua franca" of the BPO Industry. Listening, speaking, writing, and reading in English should be cultivated as an entry level skill to getting jobs at Contact Centers.
Baybayin was not widely used throughout the Philippines though. And there are a lot of variations of Baybayin bc of the geographic characteristic of the country. If they want to implement Baybayin back, then that should be a unified version. But i agree that we must not forget our roots and learn how to write and read baybayin of our ancestors.
Actually there is a lot of mixed English and Spanish words in our vocabulary and there are a lot of dialects found here, many of us are trilinguals (the dialect we use, English, and Filipino)
because in Philippines usually since elementary we have already English subject so if some can't talk fluent but can understand and mostly mix language English, Spanish,and many more.,
American Alphabet - A B C D .... Filipino Alphabet - A BA KA DA .... Almost the same. Rather than other Asian Country, the stroke of Alphabet was different. 감사합니다 .☺️
i love watching korean tv shows and ive noticed that theyre so amazed everytime they hear someone talk in english..then i met some koreans in my university,we became good friends and they told me that english is really a big deal in korea like youre one or two steps ahead if u know how to speak english..
as a filipino who speaks english when im talking to myself i think im pretty good at it but when i speak english to other people i stutter and start having a british accent and when im speaking english to myself i will sometimes transition to filipino/tagalog and i will have a english accent while speaking tagalog
when i was learned how to speak fluent English i read encyclopedia book and i pronounce it loudly so that I'll know which word should i fix or not and that base of my experience I'll just share
I lived in a remote area when I was a kid where there is no access to tv and even electricity but thru my aunt I was introduce to RNB music such as Beyonce and Usher, Neyo and whenever I listen to their songs I observe the accent and how the words were pronounced. 😆 Just sharing...
Filipinos speak English not really good but good enough to understand coz in school they teach us english and if you said one word that not english you will pay... every mistake you will pay

Oppaaaa, it's a big advantage if we can speak English, knowing that, it is very useful such as applying a job. Communicating with foreign people. And aside from that, I used to be a call center agent so I must say that it is big help for us Filipino.
Well, not everyone has great accent and pronunciation, and grammar is not perfect too.. those are things that needed proper training.. But 99.9 percent of the people base on my observation can communicate in English. As long as u can speak English ull never be lost in PH cuz taxi drivers, street vendors, or any random people u meet can guide you..
Yah we can say that in the Philippines almost everything were written in English..We may have difficulties speaking like a pro or native but everyone even children can understand and communicate in English..when you enter school like Preschool/Kindergarten English is part of the curriculum 😁..And you'll see every chips and snacks, candies that are being sold in provinces are written in English
English is our 2nd language and it is the medium of instruction in schools here in the Philippines and also english is used in business transactions. Thats why we need to learn english well.
If I'm to be asked the same question, me and my kids speaks English everyday, every now and then. We watch movies in English and now we watch Kdrama with an English captions in it. My daughter even learned to read Korean letters and alphabet. That made me proud of her. 😊
Hello! New subscriber here from Japan. 🇯🇵 English used to be the classroom language from Elementary, High School and Colleges. This is one reason how Filipinos acquired the speaking ability in English. ☺️
Filipinos are introduced to the english language early on like in nursery or kindergarten. We have an English subject in our school curriculum, which includes spelling to grammar. What we learn is reinforced coz we speak in english as well in school and the medium of instruction is also in english. So from kindergarten to post graduate studies, we learn and communicate (verbal or writtsn) in English. Its just in the past few years where the local dialect is used in school but still together with the english and Filipino languages.

So we speak English to Dad because he don't understand Bisaya..😊
Hi, why not Filipino language? or TagLish?
@@leeanne1979 , Hello, I think it's about being more comfortable with the second language.
I don't know if it's the case with the op's parents but I would like to give an idea why. To be honest, here in Bisaya places (esp in my locality and other Bisdak places that I've been), we do not use Tagalog that much compared to English. The signages are in English sometimes translated to Bisaya. Programs are in Bisaya or English - even church services are between the two. In my case, since we don't have TV or radio so we don't hear Tagalog. Pero pag nakakarinig ako ng radio from neighbors, more on English and Bisaya pa rin (though some songs being played are Tagalog). The newspapers are in English (even in the school libraries) and I see more Bisaya tabloids too (noon may Tagalog tabloids akong nakikita pero wala na masyado ngayon).
Our socmed is full of either in Bisaya and English - there are lots of Bisaya influencers na rin and Bisaya singers and songs. In my place, there are weeks that I don't hear Tagalog being spoken at all. Siguro napapakinggan lang (like songs) pero hindi nagagamit. Maybe op's parents have the same experience that I have (for non-Tagalog speakers) so they automatically use English as second language. That feeling that you understand Tagalog but do not know how to speak it properly. If I use Tagalog, I usually think first in Cebuano then my mind try to translate it to English first then to Tagalog. I actually don't why hahaha.
Sorry if this is too long :)
@@sanshirada1119 Bisaya ako pero nakakatagalog ako ng maayos pero depende lang yan sa tao
@@jayjunwellgilig570, Maypa ka Jay. It's on the individual Jud and how they are comfortable w/ using a 2nd language ay. Aq, I'm not exposed to Tagalog kaayo so I don't have someone to speak to. Wrong grammar pa gale qs Bisaya (halos everyday ginakasab-an sa mudra), samot nas English 😅
@@leeanne1979 because if your not in Luzon they don't speak much in Tagalog. They also learn Tagalog in schools like the English.
I Learned english because I discovered TH-cam and started randomly exploring. I quickly got attached to it unlike some children they normally play outside. When I was a Kid I was an introvert I don't even speak in school at all I was kinda shy to speak english but as time flies by I started getting really confident and picked up an accent from movies that I watch with my Family and here I am now speaking the language normally.
Oh we're the same I also learned English like you and I was also introverted when I was kid too😊
when they teach us pure FILIPINO we will be doomed specially math because most of mathematics Tagalog term are tooooo deep for us to understand and it's doesn't make sense

We start studying at the age at four, and in that age we already have an english subject till college 😂 how come you will not learn it, if your are weak in english you will be weak in science and math because science and math is tough in english, even the book of math and science is in English.
Honestly, I cannot speak in straight Cebuano. It's always a mix of English and Cebuano.... I don't even know the Cebuano terms of some English words.... And this is something that I am not proud of. 😑
Well we are the same but i am proud.
I can relate..Cebuanos are having a hard time speaking straight Bisaya..not so proud about it..but I don't have to stress too much about it..atleast we could communicate and express ourselves better to get along well with others
Whenever we getting angry
We speak englìsh..😆
I'd be better if you shouldn't have mentioned those DRIVERS, 'coz you know not all of them aren't just drivers many of them actually are degree holder or maybe they're English speakers since a very young age, that they just didn't got to find a good job or they actually chose to be a driver. There's no profession requirement for someone to learn the English language, it's for all. ❤️
But I love yours videos tho. ❤️
I think it's in Nuvali,sta Rosa ,Laguna..😊😊..the place.
Just digging deeper into history. America's priority as soon as they colonized the Philippines is education over 100 years ago. It just stayed even after many years.
Yes going back to history , our first teachers were Americans and those who had their education under these Americans could speak English fluently.Engl is taught at home already at an early age.Nowadays our kids watch cartoons which give them a good venue for learning and using the language. In school it is the medium of instruction Engl courses are part of the curriculum of the different educational levels .Lastly in all aspects of our life Engl is a very important language / tool for communication.Thank you for your comments and observations about our skill in using the Engl language. But this is not to set aside of our national language which is also given importance in our learning and using the language.
even if were not colonized by americans we can still speak and communicate english to others because we have a lot of english subject.....depungal ka
from the moment a Filipino child is born parents usually speak simple English to them...for example: "i love you baby" or when they are a bit older they say "beautiful eyes" for babies to make cute faces....so they start early with words that is commonly used, like shoes, slippers, phone, pencil, bag etc etc etc and many others 😁 .... start early with simple words and slowly incorporate them to other english words
Being once an American colony has a great influence on the Filipino culture especially the language ... philippines is the most westernized country in Asia.. we love western music.. tv shows... movies... that's so much exposure to the English language
Simply said, English is the medium of instruction in all schools here
Hindi lahat ng pilipino magaling mag ingles. Tolad ko laking provensya elementarya ako wala ako paki alam sa ingles. Hanggang makatapos ako sa mataas na paaralan diko natutunan. Salitang tagalog lang talaga ang kinalakihan ko.
(not all Filipinos are fluent in English. like me. born in the province. elementary I don't pay much attention to English. until I finished high school. I really grew up with only Filipino words.)
Very imformative....oppa joon...i really like the context of your video...looking forward for more.
In our home all the children are all well verse in english.
Wait until they get drunk 😂 your nose will bleed when that happens hahah
I taught my son to speak Filipino and English at the same time when he was a baby. But now he's 7 years old he speaks english fluently. He even better than me. But the sad thing is he cannot speak Filipino fluently. That's is also what I noticed in other children. So now I'm talking with him in Filipino even he answers in English to me.
Yeah thats right
During my grandfather's time, Spanish was the medium of instruction. He took up law in Colegio de Sto. Tomas. Later, after WWII, he became the Secretary to the Mayor of Cebu City and was often asked to speak before the public. He had to learn English on his own. In his old age, he would often recite Jose Rizal's "Mi Ultimo Adios" first in Spanish, then in English, then in Cebuano. My Lolo (grandfather) was truly an amazing guy!!!
After WWII, the Americans occupied the Philippines and established the "Normal Schools." Even in public schools (in Cebu), English was used as the medium of instruction. That's why many Cebuanos could speak and understand basic or conversational English.
Educators should understand that most of our textbooks are written in English. Books in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. are mostly if not all are written in English. A child who has a wide vocabulary in English would easily comprehend the text compared to one whose vocabulary is quite limited.
Today, English has become the "lingua franca" of the BPO Industry. Listening, speaking, writing, and reading in English should be cultivated as an entry level skill to getting jobs at Contact Centers.
great!
Filipino have a own alphabet and handwriting... But cory Aquino stop it..that we called baybayin
Baybayin was not widely used throughout the Philippines though. And there are a lot of variations of Baybayin bc of the geographic characteristic of the country. If they want to implement Baybayin back, then that should be a unified version. But i agree that we must not forget our roots and learn how to write and read baybayin of our ancestors.
@@wonderlight3609 ... Yeah we never forget our root on how to write .. because this is our true writing...
I totally agree. We definitely need to bring back baybayin in schools and remove the filipino subject.
@@crisn.8915 i think you missed the point haha
@@macvondelossantos1827 its Cory's fault? Why aren't you blaming the Spanish and American???
maybe it's easy for us to learn English because as early as Grade school we study and practice English
For me i can speak english. And i dont care if my speaking english is not good the important we understand each other.
Yess the important is you can communicate!❤
Satin lang big deal talaga ang grammar sa america di naman as long you understand each other its ok.
we are forced to speak eng im serious
Others are not fluent atleast they can speak😊
Try talking to the people who work in bpo industry, accents are neutralized.
Actually there is a lot of mixed English and Spanish words in our vocabulary and there are a lot of dialects found here, many of us are trilinguals (the dialect we use, English, and Filipino)
Kids nowadays that enrolled in nursery already are taught in english.
because in Philippines usually since elementary we have already English subject so if some can't talk fluent but can understand and mostly mix language English, Spanish,and many more.,
American Alphabet - A B C D ....
Filipino Alphabet - A BA KA DA ....
Almost the same. Rather than other Asian Country, the stroke of Alphabet was different. 감사합니다 .☺️
I've learned too much English that I can't speak in my own language. I can understand, I can say slangs in dialect but I can't speak in Filipino :')
we filipino can speak english and even the grammar is not to good but still u can understand it clearly
I speak english everyday because i have a family and foreign friend and english our 2nd language 😊💚
yes i noticed all filipino uses english everyday. hehe
Filipinos must learn English to communicate with foreigners.
Ofc we are often shy when talking with other people and more to foreign people 😁
Its actually harder if we use filipino in Science and Math class. I cant even imagine 😂
Me too😅
Limang daan hatiin sa tatlo at doblehin mo ng sampo sa kapangyarihan ng sampo!😂😂 (500÷3x10¹⁰) that's why we need english rather than tagalog itself.
i love watching korean tv shows and ive noticed that theyre so amazed everytime they hear someone talk in english..then i met some koreans in my university,we became good friends and they told me that english is really a big deal in korea like youre one or two steps ahead if u know how to speak english..
We started to speak english with the kids at their early age.. Tagalog is our mother tongue and english is our second language..
Filipino are smart people
Sounds hambog pre
Muntik nako maniwala kung hindi ka ganto mag isip.
Haha Overproud 😅
Sabi na ehh alien ako😂😂😂
Sounds arrogant...
When we are mad too we speak english very well. Not to mention when we are drunk😂😂
as a filipino who speaks english when im talking to myself i think im pretty good at it but when i speak english to other people i stutter and start having a british accent
and when im speaking english to myself i will sometimes transition to filipino/tagalog and i will have a english accent while speaking tagalog
when i was learned how to speak fluent English i read encyclopedia book and i pronounce it loudly so that I'll know which word should i fix or not and that base of my experience I'll just share
I lived in a remote area when I was a kid where there is no access to tv and even electricity but thru my aunt I was introduce to RNB music such as Beyonce and Usher, Neyo and whenever I listen to their songs I observe the accent and how the words were pronounced. 😆 Just sharing...
I'm currently learning Korean and no joke it's difficult for me to comprehend since I'm more used to English and Filipino..
Most of the people in the Philippines are not fluent to speak English, but they can understand... really cool!
Seems you haven't been to other areas.
Agree I can fully understand english but its hard for me to speak fluently. And i am not good constructing English
Sometimes Filipinos are good in writing than verbally speaking it.

Science books and physics are all written in English, even Literature, there's no tagalog interpretation in some words in Science or math
Oppa very often and even at their home little childrens mother tongue s english♥♥♥
Filipinos speak English not really good but good enough to understand coz in school they teach us english and if you said one word that not english you will pay... every mistake you will pay
What do you meant not good.?
@@lourdes86179 you know...mga kabataan ngayun mali mali na grammar unlike sa mga nakakatanda

Hahaha you should said that some Filipinos are not good in English😂in your comment you're talking to all Filipinos😂me I'm not that good in speaking English but I can understand very well an English language cause I always watched kdrama😂
@@saranghae1433 I think my comment is correct...you didn't understand it very well..I said we filipinos not really good if compare to some english speaker but our english is good enough for them to understand
I guess u learned to speak English in the Philippines coz you have a Filipino accent when u speak English.
I didn't know that Filipino has an accent LOL
@@arr7825 its a faint accent compared to other accents, but its there
Filipino 1st language - Tagalog
2nd - English
3rd - han'gûl 😂🤣 because of blackpink, BTS, kpop and kdramas 😂🤣 para iwas narin mag basa ng subtitles hahahaha
Cnong relate?
Oppaaaa, it's a big advantage if we can speak English, knowing that,
it is very useful such as applying a job. Communicating with foreign people. And aside from that,
I used to be a call center agent so I must say that it is big help for us Filipino.
Well, not everyone has great accent and pronunciation, and grammar is not perfect too.. those are things that needed proper training..
But 99.9 percent of the people base on my observation can communicate in English. As long as u can speak English ull never be lost in PH cuz taxi drivers, street vendors, or any random people u meet can guide you..
Yah we can say that in the Philippines almost everything were written in English..We may have difficulties speaking like a pro or native but everyone even children can understand and communicate in English..when you enter school like Preschool/Kindergarten English is part of the curriculum 😁..And you'll see every chips and snacks, candies that are being sold in provinces are written in English
Well, some of us use TagLish (Tagalog and English) and sometimes, I forget some filipino words and say it in english even though I'm a filipino🤣😭🤦🏻♀️
But now Lots of Filipinos wants to learn Korean language too🤣
English is our 2nd language and it is the medium of instruction in schools here in the Philippines and also english is used in business transactions. Thats why we need to learn english well.
the way she says “People” 😂 that was soo cool! ill try to speak like that to my Filipino friend! lol I wonder how she’ll react
If I'm to be asked the same question, me and my kids speaks English everyday, every now and then. We watch movies in English and now we watch Kdrama with an English captions in it. My daughter even learned to read Korean letters and alphabet. That made me proud of her. 😊
Hello! New subscriber here from Japan. 🇯🇵 English used to be the classroom language from Elementary, High School and Colleges. This is one reason how Filipinos acquired the speaking ability in English. ☺️
Most of filipinos are shy to speak in English haha. My favorite subject is english it's easy for me❤️
Filipinos are introduced to the english language early on like in nursery or kindergarten. We have an English subject in our school curriculum, which includes spelling to grammar. What we learn is reinforced coz we speak in english as well in school and the medium of instruction is also in english. So from kindergarten to post graduate studies, we learn and communicate (verbal or writtsn) in English. Its just in the past few years where the local dialect is used in school but still together with the english and Filipino languages.
From elementary starting grade one we studied English
English is our 2nd languagein Philippines
Me.i learn in korean drama because of the Subtittle😂😂
I really really love watching korean drama so now I'm studying korean language on my own i hope someone want to teach me korean😊😊
I think Im one of those filipinos who is more fluent in english than speaking filipino lmao
