Hello everyone !


Thank you ALL for your patience. I've been working on a Tagalog verb book and teaching Tagalog privately (as well as doing translation !), but I do intend to continue with the Tagalog group classes.


I will be teaching Saturday afternoon classes (complete beginner conversational) from July-August starting on July 30th in San Jose. Classes will begin as soon as a minimum of 4 sign-up. It can last anywhere from 4-6 weeks.


update : because of enough sign-ups : start date will be on July 7, 2012, Saturday

Please note : These classes are smaller and will be geared towards absolute beginning Tagalog learners.

4 Saturdays, July-August 2012 

12-3 PM PM, cost : $24 / class (+ one time $ 5 material fee)
days: July 7, 14, 21, 28  (August 4 TBD)

location: 

Welch Park Community Building

Kenesta Way and Clarice Dr
San Jose, CA 95122

This class will be as close as possible to getting a one-one private language instruction: and also, the class size, frequency and materials covered would be just the right amount for those wanting to get a real Tagalog conversation sampler~ 

Please register on the link on the right--
(class now full, you can register to be on the wait list)

salamat !
