Tagalog Learning Reviews

I am a 11 year old trying to impress my grandparents because they speak Tagalog. I've always felt left out when they talk Tagalog also, so it is a little for me to. But I have to wait around 10 hours to get back and study for around 10 minutes or so. 10 hours for 10 minutes! Thats just too long for me. And I get these useless notifications that day "click for free time" or something like that. And when I click on it, nothing happens. I get it, you are bringing the price down for a limited time, but still, $50 for learning Tagalog? That is crazy. I bet there are other apps that are free. I wish I get a response, and y'all better bring the price down even more. Do not recommend TagalogLearning.

I use TagalogLearning on the side as I have a native tutor who is teaching me Tagalog. TagalogLearning is great for adding new vocabulary to your repertoire however, I have caught some words that have translations in Tagalog but TagalogLearning has them translated as English words. For example, the word brown is translated to brown but in Tagalog you can say brown as “kayumanggi”. I reported it in TagalogLearning so hopefully it gets corrected as well as a few others.

Another con to learning only words is you don’t understand the grammar or structure behind it, which in my opinion is extremely important in any language as far as knowing how to piece a sentence together.

I’ll still continue to use TagalogLearning as it helps me learn new words and is great for that. But if you actually want to understand why you’re structuring your sentences a certain way I would get a tutor or find an app that explains grammar and structure.

This is definitely more of a supplementary learning tool than a main way to learn a language. I would recommend finding an app/grammar tutor then use TagalogLearning to build your vocabulary.

It’s important for me to learn Tagalog after marrying a Filipino so my husband and I can teach our children. I was really excited to find TagalogLearning but I do have a few gripes:

1. Some do the words are WAY off! My husband actually laughs when he hears some of the lessons because so much English is thrown in along with super formal words nobody in the Philippines actually use.

2. You only get 5 minutes every ten hours in the free version (I don’t want to pay for more for reason 1 above). BUT there are times I wait my ten hours, log in again, and the clock resets! So it’s really 20 hours before I can do more “learning” that credit card in Tagalog is.... you guessed it! Credit card! 🙄

3. No sentences. There’s really no way to have a conversation in Tagalog if you are relying on TagalogLearning to teach you. I wish after a month of learning g I could throw a couple of sentences together here and there.

4. In the limited 5 minute lessons, you get interrupted to update to the full paid version. So now you are getting even less time to actually learn that super market in Tagalog is supermarket. Lbs it’s really frustrating!

All in all, I like the format of the teaching and I’m learning many Tagalog words but TagalogLearning needs to make some serious updates instead of asking me to pay for the full version multiple times each day.

I’m liking TagalogLearning , I like how interactive it is, but I wish there was a way to change a few things in settings. I think there needs to be more repetition of the words it’s trying to teach. When it first gives you a word it would be better if I gave it to you at least 10 times in a row instead of automatically going in to exercises switching between other words you’ve been learning. I would also prefer that instead of pictures matched with the word it would be the English translation matched with the Tagalog word instead so i can read the English word while hearing the Tagalog word. So I think there should be a setting for how many times it repeat the word before moving onto exercises involving other words and setting to choose between seeing pictures or English words.

All in all, a pretty great app. Compared to other apps for Tagalog, the pronunciation won’t lead you astray either!

I think TagalogLearning teaches a lot in the span of just 5 minutes, all without any stuttering or glitches, as far as I have seen. The layout is user friendly, smooth, and the exercises provide quick lessons for anyone on the go. 5 minutes might sound negligible in the grand scheme of things, but you’d be surprised how fast TagalogLearning sets things into motion.

That said, if you’re not willing to pay a subscription for lessons longer than 5 minutes, I’d say TagalogLearning is best used in conjunction with other study methods; you’ll need to watch, listen, speak, and read on the side if you want to truly become fluent.

I like the length of the training periods. I choose 5 minutes and do 3 sessions in the morning. Also when I need a break from work, I can “play” the language game.

The one negative is not being able to master everything in their format. But there are constant quizzes at the end of every training period that are a good reinforcement of previous topics. I actually look forward to these quizzes because all the options are translated into English, unlike the regular training session where the only feedback is for choosing the correct answer.

The thought that went into developing the pictures was excellent. This feels like it could be easily adapted to be training in Tagalog for speakers of languages that are not English. This also feels a bit like Berlitz, but it has hooked me better. The constant motivation tools and progress reports work for me and keep me motivated.

I love TagalogLearning and have been using it to learn Tagalog since I am half Filipino. I love it, but each section you study goes by pretty fast and it’s easy to just associate words with pictures. I think the developers should integrate an option where you can select words you have trouble with and get more help with those words until they are solid. I think adding flash cards and then slowly progressing up to making people type out the full word would be so so helpful. For now I will use quizlett but I hope to one day see this feature!

I’ve tried a lot of different apps to help me learn Tagalog, but I never felt that any of them were worth paying for after the free trial period. However, TagalogLearning is worth every penny. The colors, images, and repetition make it feel like you’re playing a game while still learning all the necessary vocabulary of the language. I’ve recommended TagalogLearning to many of my friends because it has been so useful and efficient in helping me learn Tagalog. The only suggestion I have for TagalogLearning developers is to incorporate the building of sentence structure. Having already gone through the first 18 topics, I feel like I’ve learned a lot of helpful verbs, nouns, and adjectives, but have no idea how to put them together to form a proper sentence. If they could incorporate this one update into their app, it would make a world of difference and officially raise Drops to the best language learning app on the market.

Right now I’m only using the Tagalog one, not the full one so I don’t have the full experience, but so far the one I have is amazing!

TagalogLearning is amazing! It lets me pick which unit I want, and it helps me learn a lot in 5 minutes! I don’t have premium and that’s the thing I have a problem with. I have to pay to get more than 5 minutes?! Don’t just go pick another app because of this because I was looking into TagalogLearning with over 40 languages, and they have some that other apps don’t! They have ASL, Spanish, Tagalog, just look for yourself! It’s a great app and if you ever need a good app to learn new languages just pick this one!

Love TagalogLearning My girlfriend is trying to teach me and I am not getting it from her cause she speaks so fast sometimes it’s hard to catch the proper pronunciation or she shortcuts words which is undependable if you know the Language but I’m not there yet but TagalogLearning is helping me to understand proper grammar then I can learn to shortcut words later.

The ONLY complaint I have is that when they show a picture or words they don’t give you a pause before the clue words or picture appears to give you time to visualize or think unassisted.

However besides that Very Minor issue TagalogLearning is very well done I love that I’m able to pick up things as well as I have I told my Girlfriend it maybe just because I’ve never attempted to learn another language I may not be able to speak it anytime soon but I’m actually learning a lot and may understand more than I might be able to say. But if she keeps working with me I feel TagalogLearning is gonna get me there much faster.

I am seriously in love with TagalogLearning for many reasons. If you are a busy person and don’t have time to take classes due to work or having a very busy personal life, TagalogLearning is for you! There are ads in TagalogLearning but I don’t mind it. Of course, if you want to pay for premium, you have the option of paying monthly or yearly. But if you want to pay it off with a one time payment, you have that as an option as well! Other than learning Tagalog, you can learn other languages too. Learning any language is fun as long as you set your mind to it!

The fact that I found an app to learn Tagalog is AMAZING!!!! I’ve had Duolingo since it first came out and I LOVE Duolingo, but I’m disappointed that they still don’t have Tagalog on there. I speak Tagalog with my mom and can do so fluently, but I never learned Tagalog grammar rules so I’m hoping this will teach me more of that and also the spellings of certain words. I end up spelling the words phonetically most of the time and guess that it’s right, but sometimes I know I’m spelling it the Spanish way and not the Tagalog way. I speak German and Spanish too. Excited to try those versions of TagalogLearning as well.

My wife is from the Philippines and she speaks fluent English. Her family however does not. I’ve been using this for a week now and I randomly surprise her with a sentence or grouping of words I learned that day and it seems to really be paying off! The method TagalogLearning uses is great. Takes you back to the simpler way of learning as if you were in primary school with numbers, pictures, pronunciation, and repetition. Definitely a 5 star app. Maybe it could be cheaper though. 9 dollars a month isn’t much when it comes to communicating with loved ones but it’s 9 bucks that could be used towards taking them out to dinner or something to that nature. Anyways overall great app!!!

I’ve studied a dozen languages in my life, mostly in formal settings, never staying in any language to be fluent. While those courses helped with syntax and cultural settings, etc., sometimes you just want the basics and rote memorization.

TagalogLearning is perfect for that. I was born in the Philippines, but never learned the language. I probably knew about 150 words. TagalogLearning has doubled my vocabulary in a few weeks and re-awakened the words I had forgotten. At my age, 5 minutes a day is all I can handle, but TagalogLearning is just wonderful and fun and engaging. If I ever take a formal course in Tagalog, I know I would be well prepared for the vocabulary and a few basic phrases.

I am so amazed with TagalogLearning. My mom is Filipina, so when I travel to see my moms side they always talk in Tagalog. Im half black, and I lived in the US my whole life. Tbh I just felt left out then they are talking in Tagalog so I found TagalogLearning! TagalogLearning is so great! There are 5 minute lessons and 10 hour cooldowns so you basically can learn Tagalog 10 minutes per day! After your lesson there are reviews you can do if you don’t remember some of it! You can learn and you can learn all topics about Tagalog with TagalogLearning! Plus there are 5 day streak gifts if you practice each day! And this is without premium! There is some ads that come with it, and you have to learn it one by one in different topics if you don’t have premium, but its totally fine for me! Probably bly in about 4 months I will be fluent!Great job whoever made this, they deserve a raise!😍😍😍

I’ve only been using TagalogLearning a few days, but already I’m HOOKED. I’m currently visiting the Philippines for a month or two, and my family (most of them) don’t speak fluent English. So I decided to learn a little to understand them. And... WOW. This is a great app. Especially considering duolingo. I immediately deleted it when it didn’t have Tagalog, but even then, it would make me frustrated when I tried to learn Vietnamese, it would punish me for getting things wrong. With drops, it would let me try again and again and remind me the small portion of words little by little until it was engraved in my head. At least someone knows how to teach. Overall, amazing app!

i absolutely LOVE drops ! my family comes from the philippines and i never grew up talking in tagalog. but drops changed that. after looking up so many apps and websites for tagalog, almost all of them i looked at didn’t have tagalog. the thing that i like about drops is that this version of drops is specifically made for tagalog, where as the other version has all the languages you could possibly look for. i’m not a huge fan of the sessions just being five minutes long, but sometimes i can learn for ten minutes, like there’s a cool down. anyway, you should really get drops, especially this one if you’re looking forward to learn tagalog.

I was born in the PI, but moved to Hawaii at 8 months old. I was raised in the American way and had to speak English. Now that I’m older I would love to communicate with my mom and new friends I met in my 1st language that is my mothers. My mom is from Cebu but still lives in Hawaii, and I now live in California. TagalogLearning is helpful for me because I can only absorb so much and the time is perfect. Thank you for this! I have tried over the years to learn Tagalog but it was so hard to remember because I wasn’t fluent. It also hurts to tell people that I’m Filipina, but I don’t speak the language. It’s not a good feeling to not be able to communicate with my Tagalog speaking friends and family. So thankful for TagalogLearning!

I have learned a lot through TagalogLearning and I always remember everything because it is so fun. But there is a couple things that they could fix like only 10 words a day! honestly I understand that you have to get the free trile or pay to learn more but I think that maybe 20 words a day would help me more. And I think that another good thing is that they use fun things to teach you Tagalog. Like matching up the words to the Tagalog word witch for me helps with spelling. Or spelling out the parts of the word witch helps with spelling. And lastly having pictures witch helps witch remembering. Overall TagalogLearning is great and I have many more good things to say about it! I defently recommend TagalogLearning if you want to travel to the Philippines or if you just want to learn a new language.

I like the variety in how you can learn different words (matching, spelling, correct/incorrect, etc) The visuals are incredibly appealing to me and I enjoy using this format of language learning! BEST PART: you can choose which words you want to hone in on more and learn. You know a word already? Easy: swipe up. Wanna learn it better? Swipe down. Plus, I can hear the word being taught in every exercise. Best Tagalog learning app so far! I typically use Duolingo for language learning, but seeing how Drops approaches language learning, I might heavily consider switching over to Drops.
