Description

If you plan on living in the Philippines, it is a good idea to learn some of the language where you will live.  If you will be living in the Central or Southern parts of the country, especially in the Visayas or Mindanao regions, the language you need to learn how to speak is Bisaya (also called Cebuano).  Basically, Bisaya and Cebuano are the same thing.  There can be regional differences, but when people say “Bisaya” they generally are talking about Cebuano, a language that originated in Cebu. Learning even a little bit of the language of your locale will help show some respect for the area and the customs of the people.

With access to electronic flashcards.

In my experience, when you learn a bit of the language and use it when speaking with the local people. they will treat you better, in a more friendly way.  You will also find that the more you learn, the more you will enjoy your life in the Philippines. I am personally fluent in Bisaya/Cebuano.  I moved to the Philippines in 2000, and finally started seriously learning the Cebuano language in 2007.  I graduated from my Cebuano course in September of 2011.  I know that learning the language can help make for a happier life in the Philippines, because that is what I experienced. I am offering a complete course in Bisaya/Cebuano so you can learn the language, or what parts of it you choose to learn.  Does the course work?  You better believe that it does!  How do I know?  Because this is the course that I used to learn the language myself.  I know that it worked well for me, thus it will surely work for you if you use it!  I can interact with Cebuano speakers with no problem using the language that I learned.  In general, unless I am conversing with a foreigner, when I go out of the house, I speak only Cebuano with the local people where I go around Davao, where I live, or other areas of the Central and Southern Philippines.  You can do it too!
