As being born and raise in the Philippines, I know everyword what is Tagalog. I took 6 years of elementary school, 4 years of high school and 2 years of college (but under grad) in Philippines. Also my husband is a truly blooded pinoy but, my 2 daughters are born here and the time they are starting to speak some english words are coming out of their mouth. They watch english cartoons, they have english books, even though I talk to them in tagalog, they can only say some words. Like
salamat po, Ate and Kuya, ayaw, opo, matakaw and some other words easy to say. Now my 1st daughter (turning 5 at June 21) is now talking in english because she go to school and talk to her classmates and teachers in english. Even though she can still understand me when I talk in tagalog but she talk back in english. Now I'm thinking, that someday when they grow up, they can still understand me when I talk to them in my language.
As of now, my other little girl (3 yrs. old) is now learning by her big sister with english words. She can now say very clear english. But still I tolerate them to understand me in the way what language I grew up with. They still gonna learn what culture I have and what blood they came from.
