Learning Tagalog, the native language of more than 100 million Filipinos worldwide, can be easy and fun with Eriza’s Language School. Engaging with native Tagalog speakers can significantly enhance your speaking and listening skills.
While of Austronesian origins, a significant amount of Tagalog has Spanish roots. The influence is, of course, because the Philippines was a colony of Spain for 333 years. Tagalog also shares similarities with other languages, such as Spanish and English, making it easier for speakers of these languages to learn.
In addition, Filipino, a slightly modified and standardized version of Tagalog, is the official language of the Philippines. So, if you take Tagalog lessons, you will actually learn Filipino. And since Tagalog/Filipino are commonly used interchangeably, we will also be using both terms here.
While Tagalog is the dominant language in the Philippines, it is also sometimes spoken in countries with a significant Filipino community, such as Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, and Thailand.
I’m sure anyone who’s ever heard it spoken will agree that Tagalog is a beautiful and fascinating language. And the preferred way of learning this language has always been through a tutor.
A Tagalog tutor is widely considered the best way to learn Tagalog. The only real downside to learning Tagalog from a tutor is that not every area has a good Tagalog teacher. Personalized instruction through online tutoring can significantly enhance the learning experience by adapting to individual preferences.
And even if you are lucky enough to live in an area with a good teacher, you must travel for your Tagalog lessons or pay extra to have your tutor travel to you.
But through online courses, you can at your own pace over the Internet. You are not limited to having to deal with in-person learning. As long as you have an Internet connection, you can learn to speak Tagalog from an online Tagalog tutor. Understanding your learning style can further enhance the effectiveness of learning Tagalog.
The effectiveness of having your Filipino tutor online to teach you in real time can’t be matched by a self-guided online Tagalog course or apps like Rosetta Stone or Mondly that have limited interactive features.
The lessons will still include topics, vocabulary, phrases, grammar, pronunciation and proper word usage, roots, examples, practice conversations, and everything else crucial to learning new languages. Embarking on a Tagalog learning journey requires consistency and immersion, which a dedicated tutor can provide.
The difference is that you will have your own private language coach to help you learn in real time. So, if you need to focus on particular topics or interests, we can devote more time to these areas, and you can become fluent much faster.
Not only will you learn more quickly. You won’t pick up any bad habits like improper Tagalog pronunciation or word structure because your tutor will be with you every step of the way to help you quickly increase your Tagalog language skills. Speaking Tagalog fluently will enhance your engagement with Filipino culture and improve your social integration, making it a vital skill for anyone living or working in the Philippines.
This is why a private language course from an expert tutor is the best way to learn any language, whether Tagalog, English, French, or any of the over 7,000 languages spoken worldwide.
The convenience of having your Tagalog tutor online makes the process of learning much easier. The experience is unmatched by apps like Rosetta Stone or Mondly, which have limited interactive features.
Learning the Tagalog language is one of the best ways to learn about Filipino culture as well. And while there are many courses and apps that teach Tagalog, an online tutor will help you learn faster than any pre-packaged course or app. So, even beginners will be speaking Tagalog in no time.
Since the best way to learn Tagalog is with a tutor, it makes sense to learn Tagalog from a native Tagalog speaker who is also an expert, experienced Tagalog tutor.

Learning Tagalog from an online Tagalog tutor may be something you’ve never done, but Eriza’s Language School has been helping students learn Tagalog over the Internet for over five years.
In this time, she’s helped students from over 40 countries learn Tagalog. Canadian and American students.
Students from Europe, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Poland.
Students from the Middle East, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and the United Arab Emirates.
And, of course, students from Asia as well. With many of her students in this region being expat students in the Philippines.
Eriza’s Language School has been teaching students to learn Tagalog online over Zoom from the start.
However, Zoom is now the primary lesson platform because it is an even better platform than Skype for students to learn Tagalog.
But the process remains the same. Helping students with their language learning, regardless of their location.
But regardless of whether the learning experience is over Zoom or Skype, most students find that learning the Tagalog language from a Tagalog tutor who’s a native speaker is more effective than a less interactive language course like Rosetta Stone or apps like Mondly.
Eriza’s Language School does everything possible to make your learning fun, too. (Or at least not painful like traditional language classes!) Focusing on teaching learners what will help them in their day-to-day life.
There will be all of the things that are important for language learners, starting with the basics such as the Filipino alphabet, pronunciation of Tagalog words and Tagalog phrases, and the proper way to structure sentences. And, of course, plenty of practice conversations.
And the Filipino Alphabet. Which is conveniently based on the Latin alphabet.
So, if you speak English or a Romance language, you already have a head start.
If you wish, you can even learn a bit about the history and culture of the Philippines.
Being a Spanish colony for over 330 years has resulted in over 25% of the Tagalog language being based on Spanish.
While you are working on your Tagalog skills, you will be learning grammar rules, but she will only teach you what you need. Not parts you don’t need or will never use. It works so much better that way.
The goal is to ensure you will easily fit in and get around in the Philippines. Or to make talking to and understanding your Filipina partner easier.
There are many ways your life will improve when you learn to speak Tagalog. Whether you already live in the Philippines or plan to move here soon.
Learning to speak Tagalog can even be helpful if you don’t live on one of the approximately 7641 islands in the Philippines.
It can help you communicate with your partner or other Filipinos who may need to learn to speak your language.
And now, you can learn to speak Tagalog in the comfort of your home. So, if you are looking, you can get up to speed and learn Tagalog quickly and easily.
Embarking on a Tagalog journey involves tailored curricula and interactive activities designed to foster fluency through consistency and immersion in Filipino culture.
Eriza knew from the start that most of her students would not want or need language lessons designed like a Filipino language class for native speakers.
She realized that she needed to develop Tagalog lessons for foreigners who wanted to speak and understand Tagalog.
That is why she focuses on teaching Tagalog as a second language. And since you won’t be overloaded with many things you don’t need in the language learning process, you will see that you can learn Tagalog quickly.
Our lessons are taught using PowerPoint. Teacher Eriza developed them because she could not find a Tagalog course that met her standards.
And she has constantly been refining the content, too, in over 5 years of online teaching. Thousands of times. To hundreds of students of all ages, both kids and adults, from all walks of life. And from over 40 different countries.
These online lessons have proven quite popular with learners. Even students who only live a few minutes away have determined learning online was just as effective for them as learning in person.
And since it was much more convenient for them to sit in their living room, learning Filipino online, than to make the trip for in-person learning, it was an easy decision.
One of the few positive outcomes of the COVID pandemic was the shift from in-person activities to online interactions. And this is a perfect time to embrace online Tagalog learning to improve your life.
That is why now is a great time to consider the many advantages of learning a language over the Internet, specifically learning Tagalog online.
