Not only is this book a very useful phrase book, but the introduction consists of a brief history of the Philippines and a few facts about the country. This petit and concise phrase book offers a helpful pronunciation guide, which proves necessary as tagalog is initially very hard to read aside from working out how to pronounce the words! Of course the book doesn't offer you enough to hold a proper conversation in Tagalog, however if you were in a really sticky situation you'd be able to get by with the phrases in the book.
I'm just back from travelling around the Philippines for the last month or so, and to be honest I didn't really have to use the phrase book as almost everyone out there speaks English anyway but I tried to speak in Tagalog whenever I could. They all appreciate the effort out there anyway. The only time I felt rather hopeless was when people started speaking in another dialect from Tagalog.
Brilliant for the price!

This is a very readable book with lots of useful words & phases, but it is basic - really an introduction for the holiday maker. There are lots of words you might need that are not included & no CD, so you cannot hear the words pronounced.
But as a basic introduction to the language, it is okay.

Suits its purpose
1 Nov 2004
This is more like a handbook of useful phrases. For a beginner this is a great start. It by no means will teach you tagalog but you will be able to understand and use common speech. Good entry level book.

a very polite way to communicate
29 Oct 2003
its an easy book to read and understand.
the language used is very polite. you might want to drop all the -PO's when talking to peers or children.
it has a nice brief history of the islands.
I read through the whole book in one setting. its easy to go back and find phrases and words when needed.
