Summary: Making out in Tagalog
Comment: I got this book for the more local version of speaking. I am married so I dont need to repeat all of these phrases. Well maybe some of them so I can supprise my wife. It is a very well written and grouped book and I look forward to other languages.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Excellent for Conversational Phrases
Comment: I thought the phrases in this book were ones that I would likely use in conversation with my Filipino relatives (nothing in depth, simple pleasantries, etc.). However, the pronunciation is not fully explained (I only knew how the words were supposed to sound from having listened to my parents speak.) Definitely not recommended for a teen or younger audience (a lot of the "conversation" was of a sexual nature in the last chapter or two of the book), but it was really helpful otherwise.

Customer Rating:

Summary: No Other Tagalog Phrase Book Like This One!
Comment: A must for someone dating a Filipino or Filipina. This book is full of phrases that you would actually use (and some you don't ever want to hear!) You will not learn Tagalog using this book, but it is a must for the library of those who are learning Tagalog. The book get's down and dirty and tells you the phrases you really want to know! Enjoy. Trust me this book will make you laugh.

Summary: Book for people with a sense of humor
Comment: I bought this book as a gift for my boyfriend, who is half Filipino. I took one look at the title and figured it was right up his alley. It IS called "MAKING OUT" in Tagalog after all. That, along with the male and female symbols on the cover give you a huge clue as to what to expect inside. Obviously, this book was made for those with a sense of humor. It is not a grammar book, but a phrase book...and the phrases range from practical to funny to downright raunchy. Perfect for anyone who has a slightly warped sense of humor, and those who are not easily offended. If you are looking for useful phrases you can use to get around on your visit to the Philippines, and you don't plan on picking up a one night stand, you need a different book entirely. But if you want to have a laugh, and make your Filipino friends crack up- get this one for sure. The best moment we had with this book was sitting in his Filipino mom's kitchen, reading the raunchy phrases to her, and watching her laugh and say "oh my gosh!" A very fun book!

Summary: Excellent book for it's purpose
Comment: This is a excellent starter book for beginner's in Tagalog. I have another Tagalog book which was rated excellent, but some of the phrases my wife told me were dated. This book uses modern day slang phases which will keep you from sounding like an old fart. It explains some uses of words & structure of Tagalog, but just some basic points. If you can memorize all phrases of this book by heart, I think you will be able to converse in a basic level with Tagalog. It will provide you a good foundation to build on.

They could have left the bad words out though, like F*** Off, and Condom. I let my kids learn from this too but tell them not to go to those specific phrases. They could have said Back Off instead of F*** Off. Just my opinion.
