useful phrase book

This is a handy little book that has many ready-made phrases in Tagalog that you might use in casual conversation. I've actually used it with my Filipino friend and she was impressed.

great!!

This is a really quick guide to speaking on the street, my pilipino friends loved it when I came up knowing this stuff so fast. It is certainly no replacement for thoroughly learning the lingo, but it is a Huge jump start. Use and enjoy.

WOW!

Since I am trying to learn tagalog, of course it's the bad stuff that you always wanna learn first. This book blew my mind! I had no idea that this kind of stuff would really be in a book! I thought I would have to ask my mom how to say all these things! This book is so cute, forward and helpful. Especially with the stuff you would want to say to a special someone!

No Other Tagalog Phrase Book Like This One!

A must for someone dating a Filipino or Filipina. This book is full of phrases that you would actually use (and some you don't ever want to hear!) You will not learn Tagalog using this book, but it is a must for the library of those who are learning Tagalog. The book get's down and dirty and tells you the phrases you really want to know! Enjoy. Trust me this book will make you laugh.

Book for people with a sense of humor

I bought this book as a gift for my boyfriend, who is half Filipino. I took one look at the title and figured it was right up his alley. It IS called "MAKING OUT" in Tagalog after all. That, along with the male and female symbols on the cover give you a huge clue as to what to expect inside. Obviously, this book was made for those with a sense of humor. It is not a grammar book, but a phrase book...and the phrases range from practical to funny to downright raunchy. Perfect for anyone who has a slightly warped sense of humor, and those who are not easily offended. If you are looking for useful phrases you can use to get around on your visit to the Philippines, and you don't plan on picking up a one night stand, you need a different book entirely. But if you want to have a laugh, and make your Filipino friends crack up- get this one for sure. The best moment we had with this book was sitting in his Filipino mom's kitchen, reading the raunchy phrases to her, and watching her laugh and say "oh my gosh!" A very fun book!
