Teaching Your Native Language (Tagalog) Teaching your own native language helps you understand and appreciate the complexity and the essence of your precious mother tongue. You learn to love your language more than regular speakers. You figure out how words and sentences are formed. You learn why you say it that way. Somehow you preserve a culture that is influenced by other. Tagalog has been a weak language because of lack of linguists who develop new words or concept to express new things we have around. Instead we borrow foreign words to express something since we don't have a word for a particular idea. Speakers are not that aware nor strict to the grammar or syntax of the Tagalog language thus the true language is gradually fading. Let me teach you my language and share the linguistics behind my native tongue.
