ok. .post your english grammars and i will translate them in tagalog.I will try if i can .( Magpadala kayo dito ng pangungusap sa ingles at isasalin ko para sa inyo sa tagalog.Isang pagsubok  ito kung kaya ko./  Tagalog is more on the side of expressing emotions and concepts and ideas rather that on the business sides./note that filipinos can speak tagalog but they are not native tagalogs so dont expect their fluency in many conversations.                                                       /  mataripis/

Kumusta ka Rose?(how are you Rose)
Probably it's because there where less people here are learning Tagalog than other common languages such as English, Chinese etc. including other Asian languages.
But you don't have to worry there where some of us here who are willing to help people like you to learn our language(Tagalog). If you do have any questions regarding "Tagalog" don't hesitate to keep in touch.Good luck in learning.

You can start your conversations with Filipinos by saying "kumusta ka?" which means "how are you?" and most of them will respond by saying "mabuti naman, ikaw?" which means "I am good, how about you?"

Here are some of the common phrases you can use to start your conversation:

kumusta ka? - how are you?
Ano ang pangalan mo? - what is your name?
ilang taon ka na? - How old are you?
Saan ka nakatira? - Where do you live?
