The
Basic 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 should be able to formulate
sentences, have a working vocabulary of about 100-600 words,
and be able to carry on a basic conversation.

The
Continuing Basic Conversational Class allows you to review, practice,
and further build on the lessons from the previous basic session. This
is also perfect for those with experience but need a refresher course.
Special attention on grammar will be addressed. Prospective students
will be assessed to make sure that their Filipino conversational skills,
grammatical knowledge and application will qualify for this more advanced session.
