I am a language enthusiast and once I found out that the Filipino culture is similar to mine (I am Haitian), I started to learn as much as I could about the Philippines. I fell so in love with it - I bought movies, books, joined a Filipino church, etc. I also have "yung kaibigang Tagalog" and she speaks Ilocano not Tagalog so I'm learning Tagalog first then going to learn Ilocano and other languages.
I'm also thinking about getting my masters degree in the Philippines in a year or so.
Good luck everyone on your learning process.
Annie
