While it’s true that both Filipino (which is a standardized version of Tagalog) and English are national languages of the Philippines, many Filipinos are not fluent in English. Also, most are more comfortable speaking Tagalog than English. This is especially true outside of Manila. And in many service-related positions (taxi driver, delivery person, etc.) English is often barely spoken at all. This is where being able to speak Tagalog can make the difference between getting lost and getting home.
The Filipino people are some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. Even if they cannot speak your language, they will often go out of their way to communicate with you in some form. However, if you can speak Tagalog, even if you are not fluent or if your pronunciation isn’t perfect, it will be greatly appreciated by most any Filipino you meet. And speaking Tagalog can open up so many possibilities that otherwise wouldn’t exist.
Filipinos don’t only appreciate a foreigner who can speak Tagalog. It’s a great way to know how someone really feels about you. You will be in a better position to understand the message someone is trying to convey to you.
And you will even be able to understand what is being said about you by other people, who may not realize you can understand what they are saying in their conversations with each other. Needless to say, there are many situations where this can be very helpful.
With the Philippines being a country of such warm, friendly people, you will undoubtedly make friends here. And you will find it much easier to communicate and even influence your Filipino friends if you speak Tagalog. This will be especially true if you are with a group of Filipino friends. Even though they undoubtedly speak at least English, they will often be speaking Tagalog as a group.
Regardless of what country you are from, with each session, you will learn a bit more of your target language – Tagalog. Which will help you fit in better and become closer friends.
There will be many times when you will be better positioned to bargain if you speak Tagalog. And vendors will often be more likely to accept your offer if you can speak their language. This can save you many thousands of Pesos during your time in The Philippines.
