Learning a new language with a partner

I find it really easy to learn a new language when you're learning with a partner.

My husband is from a different province in the Philippines and has their own native language.

He speaks to me randomly using their language every day and I find it very educating.

The use of new vocabulary words every day gets me to familiarize and remember more.

It gets even better when you get surrounded by people using a different language.

Listening to conversations and observing their communication can make you adjust.

Even if you cannot understand every word they say, you can follow.

That is why Language Tools is a very educating platform.

You surround yourself with people with different languages.

And maybe that's also a reason why having friends with different nations can teach us more about learning a new language.

So if anyone is interested in making conversations with me and learn Tagalog, I'm very much open. Likewise, it would be awesome to learn a new language from you, too.

Which languages do you and your husband speak?

I would like to help if it's Korean that you want to practice with! :)

My husband's native language is Pangasinense, the native language in Pangasinan.

Hello There, 

That's great to know that you're trying to learn a language and want a partner. I'm fluent in English, and native with Hindi. If you want to learn together, we can float. Tagalog is in my list, I want to learn it too.

This is awesome! I might take your offer. I studied Korean while in the university but did not really use it. 

How is Bisaya and Cebuano different? Also, is Bisaya and Waray different from each other? 

Hi Faye for me Bisaya is similar with Cebuano but when we speak Bisaya some words are different in Cebuano .

Example :

 ENGLISH : Are you going to your friends house?

BISAYA : Mag adto ka didto sa balay sa imuhang amega?

CEBUANO: Mu ania ka didtoa sa panimalay saimong amega?

 Some words is different but same points.

In English, Bisaya is a group of languages spoken in the Visayan Islands. Cebuano, Ilonggo and Waray-waray are all Bisayan languages.

My Spanish has also improved a lot during the years I was married to a Peruvian guy, not only the realisation of the language itself, but also my conscience of its idiosyncrasies.

I'm here for those who would like to know a bit about Brazilian Portuguese.

Oh okay. So Bisaya is like a big umbrella of languages.

Are there also other types of Portuguese?
