The Best Way to Learn the Tagalog Language
Pimsleur’s entire catalog of language courses, including Tagalog, is based on the Pimsleur Method™, developed by Dr. Paul Pimsleur (1927-1976). This technique, based on four main concepts, laid the foundation for our current instruction method, which has proved to be one of the most effective programs for learning the Tagalog language. The Pimsleur Method is built on Organic Learning, Core Vocabulary, the Principle of Anticipation, and Graduated Interval Recall.

Speak Tagalog with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Tagalog. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Tagalog language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
