1) Kumusta? Ako si Phil (Correct. You may also say, “Ako ay si Phil”).

2) Kinagalok kong makilala ka (“Kinagalok” should be “Ikinagagalak”. Nowadays, most of us would also just say “Nice to meet you”).

3) Taga Canada ka ba => Taga-Canada ka ba? = Are you from Canada? (“Ba” makes it a question)

I’m from Canada = Taga-Canada ako = Ako ay taga-Canada.

4) Nagta-Tagalog ka ba? (Though this translates to “Do you speak Tagalog?”, its use is situational, i.e., it is asked of a person known to speak Tagalog, to know if he/she uses it on certain occasions. So it’s like asking, “Do you speak Tagalog when...(situation/occasion)”. If you want to know if someone knows how to speak Tagalog, the best way to ask it would be, “Marunong ka bang mag-Tagalog?)

5) Gusto kong matutong magsalita ng Tagalog. (Correct)

6) Ako ay sa paglalakbay sa Mindoro (“Lakbay” is “journey”; “punta” is “go”. Ako ay pupunta sa Mindoro = I am/will be going to Mindoro).
I want to learn because I will be going to Mindoro in September. = Gusto kong matuto kasi pupunta ako sa Mindoro sa Septiyembre/September.

7) Gusto kong mag-focus sa pagbigkas = I want to focus on pronunciation

I must focus on pronuciation. = Kailangan kong mag-focus sa pagbigkas.

8) Ako pagunta upang mag-post ng mga video at audio (“Punta” is “go” to a place; “upang” is “so that”)

I`m going to post videos and audio of my voice = Ako ay magpo-post ng mga video at audio ng boses ko.

9) Maaari naming tumulong isa’t isa malaman (“malaman” is “to find out”).

We can help each other learn = Maaari nating tulungan ang isa't isa para matuto. or Maaari tayong magtulungan para matuto.

10) Maraming salamat po! (Correct)

Let me give you a few small tips to help you out with your pronunciation the WORD "ng" pronounced "nahng" (if the LETTERS "ng" are a part of a word then the pronunciation is the same as in English ex: tanging), the word mga "mahngah", and the letters "ay" pronounced like how we say the word I. pronunciation is super important because there are a few words that mean different things and the only distinguishing factors are the ways that the words are pronounced. examples: bukas can be open or tomorrow and suka can mean vinegar or vomit >_< Good luck and great job!
