Description
My First Book of Tagalog Words is a beautifully illustrated book that introduces young children to Filipino language and culture through on a regular basis words.
The words profiled in this book are all regularly used in the Filipino language and are both informative and fun for English-speaking children to be informed. The goals of My First Book of Tagalog Words are more than one: to familiarize children with the sounds and structure of the Tagalog language; to introduce core elements of Filipino culture; to illustrate the ways in which languages differ in their remedy of on a regular basis sounds; and to show how, through cultural importation, a single word may also be shared between languages.
Both teachers and parents will welcome the book’s cultural references and appreciate how the book is organized in a familiar ABC structure. With the assistance of this book, we are hoping more children (and adults) will soon be part of the 22 million people world wide that speak Tagalog!
