Many people have never heard of the Tagalog language. Tagalog is an Austronesian language spoken by the Tagalog people, who represent a quarter of the population of the Philippines. While Filipino is the official language, Tagalog is also spoken as a second language in the Philippines by the rest of the population. Knowing the Tagalog language is an incredible business asset, is useful when working in the tourist industry, and can also help you learn other languages.
Due to the prevalence of fluent English speakers among Philippine natives, many English words have found their way to the Tagalog language. This makes learning Tagalog fairly straightforward for English and Spanish speakers.

The secret to having real-world conversations in Tagalog is to focus on learning the language, not just the words. Rosetta Stone encourages learning vocabulary and grammar in context rather than just memorization. The Dynamic Immersion® methodology is the backbone of the Rosetta Stone language-learning program and can help you learn Tagalog in no time.

This is exactly what Rosetta Stone aims to achieve, and how they do it, at a significant lower cost than classroom settings, and on your own time!
