I accendentally discovered your blog ...Hello Chris!<BR/> I accendentally discovered your blog while I was searching for Zamboanga in youtube last 2007 in the last weks of november I guess. You see I loved anything about Spanish Philippines to be exact Zamboang City.And voila! it was your video about the TVE report on Chavacano that I found. I had great time reading the subtitles and watching it over and over again. It was great that you found it! You really have great interest in Linguistics do you? I hope to keep in touch with you. I planned to join your circulo. Its great to be part of it.<BR/><BR/>You see, When I was 14 years old when my late grandmother taught me some few basic Spanish but she died soon afterwards a few months in August 22, 2002, so my supposed rendezvous with the Spanish language was cut short. If only she was alive until now, I just can't help but wonder, maybe I'm beginning to be fluent at it perhaps. Anyway, I continued learning the langauge through books that I borrowed from our school library and self-taught. <BR/><BR/>But I tell you it was difficult to learn a language by yourself and most of the people around you prefer and do speak English, Cebuano and Tagalog. So, I did'nt get to learn it by heart though I can understand some but not really that much. When I hear Spanish speakers I bleed to death, really cause its too fast I can't catch it.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can be of help to re-awaken my interest in this LAnguage! Please I hope you send a reply.email me at grks_07@yahoo.com<BR/><BR/>I've got so much questions to ak that I hope you'd answer. Thanks again.

I was looking for resources in Tausug and was planning to learn more about the dialect, when I came across your blog. Very interesting discussions. I am fluent in Waray and Tagalog because of my upbringing. I would like to get more resources in Tausug if you know of any that would help. I have seen some sites with MP3 recordings of Tausug.

I was surprised to know that the president Aroyo, herself who said that English has to be used as an instructional language and in other fields such as law, economics etc. Moreover, I found that there are many Philippinos who cannot speak tagalog but they are good at English and other language from some provinces in Phillipines. In other words, I cannot compare Indonesian and tagalog since their position as a national language is quite different.
