I would like to tell you that once a Filipino laugh at your local grammar mistakes, they do not really want to offend you. We are just happy and proud to see a foreigner trying and learning how to speak our language. Some might really make fun of you but not all of us because our attitudes may differ.

Mixing up "puso" with "pusa" while praying... that was hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing! 😂😁

Wow these americans knew our history better than me... Im depressed. 😒

"Bisaya" are easier for foreigners because the language doesnt use too much "ng" or "ñ" on words which makes them harder to pronounce. Accent is also a huge hurdle to overcome if you want to be fluent in tagalog.

17:20 I like the way she said " Apay?" is so heartwarming like she's showing concern ❤️, like a mother when asking if there is a problem, 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I usually don't listen to missionaries but this one is gold. Thanks for the vid. Mas naintindihan ko ang pusa nila.

She prayed to understand the cats of the people. Seems the cats need the gospel too. 😅😂😂😂

I love this so much! Nakakatunay ng puso na may mga taong ibig matuto mag Filipino :))) Gora mga beshies

Nice observations and correctly said. Tagalog dialect is the softer and gentler one. Cebuano has that hard punch. They sound funny that is why Cebuanos are natural comedians. But they are very friendly and helpful. I am a Tagalog by the way.

amazing galing ninyong lahat God bless

I have been watching your videos for the past weeks..i was enjoying every second of it..thank u for conducting missions and embracing the culture..god bless all of u guys..be safe always..im not a mormon.but will be praying for ur safe journey where u go..peace out

Thank u for learning and loving our different languages to reach out to us... Appreciate it! Godbless everyone!

if you go to Leyte, the southwestern/western half speaks Bisaya, and the northeastern/eastern speak waray-waray. it is completely different phrases and accent.

The guy who explained the different dialects is very observant 👏👏👏 so magaling po💕

you guys are linguists! awesome!!!

Tnx for accepting and adopting our pilipino culture and language and also our food

Cebuano - payong, ulan, babae, kuyaw, ninja ray mo patay ninyo. Boholano - pajong, uwan, baje, kujaw, ninja ray mo patay ninju. 😆

thank you for this 💜💜💕 it's amazing how people do this and learn and JUST SIMPLY BRING OUT THE BEST OF THESE COUNTRIES AND CULTURES!! AND HOW THEY LEARN THE LANGUAGE WAS COOL AND VERY ENTERTAINING 😘😘😘 MAHAL KO KAYOOO GUYS

oh the way you say it in bisaya is awesome! right accent indeed! pinabundak bah

Correction... the Bisaya or Cebuano Languange had a writing system called Badlit (or Badlis) which means Line... very similar to Tagalog's Baybayan (which means to spell; Filipino languange is based on Tagalog) but it differs in some strokes and shapes but all evolved from the Indic Script.... Each ancient regions had their own ancient Philippine Script... proven by excavated artifacts such as Bamboos where our ancestors carved our letters or texts... all these ancient sytem of writing were abolished when the Spaniards came to conquer...

The puso and the pusa.. hahaha love you guysss

Amazing!

at 23:35 he's saying these words: "Ro anwang nageogaeog (nag-eo-ga-eog) sa eogan-eogan (eo-gan - eo-gan). Translates to: The carabao rolls around in the mud. :)

I feel sorry for these missionaries that they had a hard time adjusting with filipino cultures specially learning different dialect. Yeah there are filipinos who’s gonna laugh at you if you make mistakes but not all are blunt or harsh. They laugh at you not to insult you but they think it’s funny. Lol just dont take it personally, i promise you filipinos are happy people they love to laugh to anything lol thanks for making time to learn our different cultures and dialects! Salamat! Mahal kayo ng mga filipinos!

wowww you guys are dili bulok hehe 👍👍👍

mainland cebu used to drop "L" in their causal conversations...but here in davao region, we pronounce "L" cleanly..and davao cebuano speakers has bit different in mainland..."wa ko kahiba'o" in cebu, in davao " wala ko kabalo"...in cebu " Ari mo sa ba'y", in davao " adto mo diri sa balay"

the 2nd guy is so fluent speaking bisaya/cebuano

" Like everyone is angry" Samoka 😂😂😂

ah i si conor people talks about you guys😊😊kuyawa gyud ani nila oi.😂😂

My mom primarily speak Tagalog, but my dad primarily speaks Ilocano/Iloco/Iloko!

I laughed about the "puso" to "pusa". HAHAHAHA! but cute! Puso means heart and pusa is cat.

The only way to learn is to immerse oneself in the culture. That's why it makes me happy as a bisaya that you get us. 😊

Bisaya+Tagalog+English= Taglishaya 😂😂

you're all amazing.. galing

awesome....patsada kaayo Bai

Natwa nmn aq s aklanon words n binanggit astig ahaha

Show you really speak like you were from there. Sounds so good.

Wow the guy talks about Aklanon.. Wel you could speak like you have no tongue and that is true

I understand Bisaya because my dad's from Masbate and our house helpers then were all from Masbate. And yeah, I agree, when Bisaya is being spoken, you'll feel like you're being yelled at or the person talking to you is angry. 😜

One thing nice to pilipinos is that they spoke different languages, but the name of the stores, offices, instructions in roads are all in English. Papers in offices are all in English.

Also the tricycle, popsicle becomes tricycol, popsicol when you pronounce. Interesting and fun.

Well, I hope you had pleasantly memories of your stay in our country. 😊

Wow.nice learner.

Wow I’m impressed to this American they’re smart also they can speak visaya, Tagalog fluently i know you are white but you are my brother to another mother❤️

Hello, I am a Filipino, bisaya ko, nalipay ko nga naglantaw sa inyo nga videos, thank very much to all of you.

This is how the deped today encouraged teachers and pupils or students to use mother tongue..or every province's dialect...its helping anyway..

Pure binisaya/Cebuano language s one of the most beautiful language in the world...

Yessss I love Speaking BISAYA Mga foreigner ako (I grew up in the Philippines)

We had an interesting chat about this topic too😁

Hahahahaha Pusa and Puso -but amazingly you learned so fast in Bisaya Nanghinaut ko na mkabalik pa mo dri sa Pilipinas og makahatag pa mo og daghang inspirasyun sa mga tawo. Amping po pirminti dha sa Amerika ha...

Alongside "puso", "kugmo", "kasag", and "baka", "You, have to speak as though you have no tongue" at 23:25 killed me as well. Spent college in Panay and that language felt really alien that I didn't get to learn it. Or I was just lazy.

Nice.

I love Americans especially when you teach them in tagalog language i experience this when my untie have a vacation together with US Navy hilarious really wonderful hahahahaha

hala grabihang Connor oi gekilaw manlang bisaya sinulti,an haha

Both my parents are Ilonggo. I miss hearing my parents' dialect.

Mga anak ani nila pohon makabalo jud ug binisaya pohon. Klaru kau😁

It’s also fun to listen to different bisaya accents. Davao bisaya sounds different from Cebu bisaya and also different from Bohol bisaya and Surigao bisaya. There are also certain words that are different.

A I think the philipin language so mixer form every country,i like it.so funy.

and nice background

the second guy is cool!!!!

Very good tone ilonggo smart dialect of all in PH

fluent lage ka mag bisaya dong . keep it up kay para nindot ang future! hehehe

I'm a Chavacano from Zamboanga Philippines. Hola atodos :)

This is funny!

I would love to learn tagalog and visaya

Cebuano don't use L. thats how you know if the person is from Cebu or from Mindanao.

Apir sa mga kanong bisaya na hehehe 🖐🏻

Maajo is in spoken in Southern Leyte. My home province. Actually, it's a boholano dialect.

I like the girl speaking ilokano.. she speaks like the local does and express herself like true ilocano like me. Apay? Wennn... etc. I believe the hardest for foreigners is conjugation and that's interesting to know for me.

great

I'm a white guy married into a Filipino family. I'm not really fluent, but have been studying really hard to learn. Mahirap ang Tagalog sa akin kasi puti ang balat ko, pero gusto kung maging mahusay sa Tagalog kasi maglipat kami sa Pilipinas kung magretire na ako sa isang taon kalahati pa. What I tried to say was "Tagalog is hard for me because my skin is white, but I want to get better skilled at Tagalog because we will move to the Philippines when I retire in a year and a half". I'm not really sure on how to say "a year and a half", I totally guessed and said "isang taon kalahati". If any kind souls could correct my Tagalog, I would be grateful.

hahahahahaha..... katawa.anan

47:19 Yes! Totally True.. Even we magagalit kami yung tono namin is Malambing daw at Di daw Nagagalit 😹 Hahaha

Cebuano and Bisaya are the same. And Cebuano, Ilonggo, etc are not just dialects but are actually discrete languages

thanks

Aside from Spanish and English, Tagalog also have borrowed word from China, India and of course the Bahasa Indonesia.

the best way to learn bisaya is to live there at least 2 years, will give you so much adaptability. i learned their language very quickly coz I pushed myself real hard to do it. why? in cebu, if you're a tagalog, they won't talk to you much if you're only speaking tagalog. u have to learn their language there.

Guy in 45:27 really knows the Hiligaynon language. Gwaping pa. Ti diin ka pa? :)

'Kuyog' kugmo 😅😅🤣🤣 kahayag 'kasag' that was funny 🤣

Yes, Pilipinos/Pinoys

First rule in learning our language, there are no rules 😂

Kugmo instead og kuyog, kahayag to kasag 😅

Kuyog to kugmo... Kahayag to kasag... 😅😅😅

omg these people are good in visaya lang

ahaha nice

Do you choose your assignment country?

Proud very smooth hiligaynon ilonggo

29:54 "Nagtuuk ako" sounds like "I'm (purposely) choking". It's that different? Wow, so cool! 6/16/2020 TUE Midnight

It's not really a written language but there is a very solidified trend involved there atleast that's how I feel about it I am bisaya and Kano like you tell hey joe to come to Mabay in maitum it's in Mindanao I got a nice house here ask for Jas and I'm 34

Thank you..salamat kaayu ......:-):-):-):-)

The Tagalog in Metro manila uses more Spanish and English,than the tagalog outside like Batangas,Bulacan,Rizal,Cavite,Quezon,they used deep Tagalog with less English or more Spanish.Ilocano and Cebuano-Bisaya and Hiligaynon were different languages.They are not considered dialects,but some of their vocabularies has similarities.

the guy in stripes is so good huh!

Try to learn igorot language too😜👍

Tagalog can be different even to other tagalogs. If you talk to tagalgs from batangas, laguna, quezon and rizal youd be amazed at the different accents... Sometimes you know they are speaking in tagalg but you couldnt understand them

It is maadiyo or maadyo not maajo ( the word was spoken before the invention of the J letter. J sounds like H in our language just like how it sounds in spanish. In tagalog, it is maayos ( mabuti, mainam, kaaya-aya, kaiga-igaya, malugod are some tagalog variations ). The word iloilo and tagalog, according to some "fortune tellers" and "madamme marries" means river dwellers but it's not. The word iloilo came from the word hilo-hilo while tagalog came from the word taga-alog not taga-ilog. It is a very long story but to cut it short, it is related and in connection with Panay.

:waves: Hello! Pilipino languages are script before the Spanish arrived in 1521. The written, which includes for Bisaya (including Cebuano) and Tagalog, began with Alibata making Pilipino language/s written, also called Baybayanin. Pampangueno is an example of a language, often called dialect, trying to retain these older influences and heritages. Thank you so much for loving the Philippines! I am unsure if you will be able to read this comment soon, but I hope it is passed on to those who appear in the Lifey Philippine inspired videos. Your literacy and your candor and sweetness are so appreciated. My "sister" Hannah Ruiz got a chance to serve in Cebu, as well. God bless you today. I can testify that this church is true, and that President Nelson is a good Prophet to guide us.

Trivia time:🤔 [ the word Tagalog is a contraction of Taga-ilog and refers to a community of people that lives near a body of water, specifically a river, since taga means “of” and “ilog” means river; hence Taga-ilog roughly translated to English is “of the river”. According to the Merriam-Webster International Unabridged Dictionary the Tagalog and the Visayan languages come from one group of language called Tagala, a branch-language of an ancient Malay-Javanese language called Kawi which is now extinct. The Tagalog language has 30,000 root words and 700 affixes. About 5,000 words in Tagalog are from Spanish, 3,200 from Malay-Indonesia, 1,500 words from Hebrew, 1,300 words from English, 300 from Sanskrit, 250 words from Arabic and a few words from Persian, Japanese, and Russian. Tagalog and Visayan have many similarities with about 3,800 words having the same meaning and usage. Hiligaynon, the language of Visayans, is similar to Higaynon, a Hebrew word which means“solemn sound”. The word “yawa”is a curse word which means evil, while “wa” means“not in you” in the Visayan language. The word “ya” in Hebrew means “Yah” the short form of the name of the Mighty One of Yahshurunites (Israelites). The word “po” is derived from “ho,” an ancient Hebrew word which is used in most Philippines dialects when addressing an elder as a sign of respect.]

Sana all marunong magbisaya

the first guy speaks good bisaya.

Smart People can speak Pilipino language
