Sometimes I think to myself “yknow for a Filipino I really don’t post much in Filipino” then I remember I’m bad enough at speaking Tagalog but even worse at my local language lmao AND I GREW UP THERE

Bilingual but not equally so!! 😆 we’re doing our best though! 🫱🏽🫲🏻🫱🏽🫲🏻 I can just about scrape by until I meet someone who’s like, pure Tagalog, then they can clock instantly that my vocabulary isn’t that great lmao
I have the linguistic level of a 7th grader at best for tagalog bc that’s when I left the country and even then I’m bad at it bc everyone just spoke taglish at my school LOL my husband tries to ask me things about the language and I’m SUFFERING BC IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT?? ITS HARD OKAY
I FEEL YOU!! People say Tagalog is easy to learn but it’s NOT it actually has so many little nuances to it and it’s a very beautiful language but ooooo it is not the easiest that’s for sure!
See the thing is, as is probably common back home, our household had three languages and everyone spoke all of them with varying degrees of fluency so we all switched language depending on who we’re talking to and therefore I was a) never corrected if i got something wrong and b) confused

And yeah it's quite fun! As long as we understand each other then there is nothing to be worried about
