About this course
Learning a new language gives you more opportunities to communicate, grow and connect with others.
Would you like to learn Tagalog in Eindhoven? Kulin's beginner Tagalog A1 course helps you take your first steps towards everyday conversations with Filipino family, friends and colleagues, or during a trip to the Philippines. No prior knowledge is required.
Across 12 classroom lessons of 90 minutes over six weeks, you gradually develop useful vocabulary, listening skills and speaking confidence. With two lessons per week, the course provides 18 contact hours. E-learning and digital learning materials are included for independent practice.
You will practise greetings, introductions, asking and answering simple questions, and talking about your home, family, work and interests. Everyday situations include shopping, ordering food, using transport and understanding basic directions.
Tagalog is a major foundation of the national language Filipino. Lessons focus on common Tagalog expressions while explaining relevant connections with Filipino and frequently encountered English loanwords. You will work on pronunciation, basic sentence patterns, question words, pronouns and introductory verb constructions.
Practical dialogue, role-play, repetition and feedback help you use the language rather than simply memorise vocabulary. You will also encounter polite expressions such as po and opo and basic cultural conventions.
The course welcomes complete beginners and learners who want a structured introduction to Tagalog. It aims at introductory skills broadly aligned with CEFR A1; no official CEFR qualification is guaranteed.
