The
beginner conversational class at the Bayanihan Community Center
emphasizes practical phrases and grammatical strategies that will get
you speaking confidently within days. The class will cover greetings and
introductions, description of people and places, stating preferences or
non-preferences, counting, shopping, telling time and basic usage of
verbs. By the end of the class, students would be able to formulate
sentences, have a working vocabulary of about 100-600 words, and be able to carry on a basic conversation.
