Our first week of language school.

This past Monday we began to study Tagalog at a language school here in Manila. We attend 2 classes in the morning and then are studying in the afternoons. We will go to this school for about a month and then have individual tutors after that time. It has been challenging as they introduce a lot of vocabulary and grammar each day. I have so much admiration for people who are able to speak many languages! By the end of the week, we knew a bit more, and had several opportunities to use the bits of sentances that we know with Filipinos. Over the weekend we went with some friends to see a few parts of Manila, which included stopping to watch the sunset over Manila Bay! How refreshing!



Our school! People come here to study English, Tagalog, and a few of the smaller Filipino languages.



Marlon, one of our teachers, hard at work!
