  • Online audio recorded by native speakers to help with pronunciation
  • Bidirectional dictionary
  • Updated cultural notes and sentence patterns

"I hope that the new and expanded edition of this book will further encourage both non-Tagalogs and non-Filipinos to speak the Tagalog language better. Only then shall they appreciate the individuality of the language that reflects the resilience and flexibility of Filipinos all around the world." -- Yolanda Canseco Hernandez, author
