Advanced Beginner & Intermediate Conversational Tagalog


Intermediate Conversational Tagalog @ the Bayanihan Community Center
7 Wednesdays, 6:15-8 PM, May 13-June 24
(includes a cooking class session)

Realistic, situational verbal & written tasks will be used in the intermediate conversational class to further reinforce the student's existing knowledge of Tagalog. The class will also continue expanding the student's vocabulary and grammatical skills, as well as incorporate the cultural and social context of the Tagalog language.

Not sure if you're ready to take the intermediate class? This Advanced Beginner class allows you to practice and review the lessons from the Beginner session. Also perfect for those with a lot of previous knowledge but needs a refresher course.


* Send me an email with your questions/concerns. I also call all prospective students to make sure that their level is a good fit for either class. *
