Hahaha. Very good, spark_777. You saw my response there eh? Sharp. And the language: it's complicated indeed but if you live here in the Philippines for maybe 1-2 years, you'll know how to speak it. Might not sound native yet but you know, you'll get it.
Hey man. Like what spark_777 said, yes, he's right. I'm a Filipino. But if you were to talk to me in person, you'd think I was born somewhere else. Ironically, English is my native language. I learned it as a kid, since my dad speaks to me in English all the time. I learned Filipino in school but deep down, English is my native language. I can tell you that while my Filipino is decent, even I find it hard sometimes, to the point that I have to ask my friends and family what some Filipino words mean XD haha. But though it is hard, I know of some foreigners who lived here for maybe 1-2 years and they're actually better in speaking Filipino than me XD Anyway, if you'd like to learn the language, I say you live here in my country for a while (1-2 years is good) and come with me. I can teach you how to speak Filipino decently. :-D Or go to
