when i was in grade 3, i used to have an English teacher from the Philippines. She's very kind, friendly, and fun. Whenever I got into a problem she will be like "go to the teacher's room and meet me there." when I went there, I thought she would be mad, but instead she only said "next time, dont do it again" and the problem was solved. And then she went back to the Philipines and didnt came back to my country and my school until now. I'm now in grade 8, and I still think that She was the best english teacher i've ever met. i missed her so much.
Yeah me too i had a english teacher too but i moved to another school. When I was in grade 2 and while i was playing...My friend said " Hey, someone is asking for you" And i came to that person and it was my teacher. I hugged her and I cried like allot at that day...hehe...And i never saw her again..maybe I'll ask my parents if they knew how she is doing.
It's also because of the history. The Philippines was a US colony for 48 years, so US has a very strong influence ever since. From tv shows, commercials and books Filipinos grew up watching and reading everything in English. I remember growing up back in the 80's I didn't know how to speak English but as a young kid I could understand it ery well, which at that time it was kinda weird because I can understand but aren't able to speak it at a young age.
OUTSIDE MANILA , IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OR PROVINCES IN THE PHILIPPINES WE SPEAK 3 TO 4 LANGUAGES, 1. PROVINCIAL LANGUAGE OR MOTHER TONGUE 2. THE FILIPINO LANGUAGE (TAGALOG) 3. ENGLISH
こんにちは My mom is old school Filipina. She knows the following languages: Pangasinanese (dialect), Tagalog, English, and Spanish. Fun fact when she was studying in Europe she went to France to visit. She asked for help in English and the French ignored her. So she spoke Spanish asking them for help the responded to her. "Oh aki, aki, aki!" So the Spanish for her helped her. I'm learning Tagalog and Japanese. Tagalog is way easier for me to learn because they use the roman letter system. It took me a little bit to understand the greek letters when I studied Ελληνικά. Japanese is taking me longer to learn because I have to learn a new writing system to understand. Its definitely not impossible to learn. I just have to be patient with myself. I'm learning Japanese because I want to go and visit Japan and stay there for a week or two before or after going to the Philippines. I love Japanese culture and my culture too. This channel is awesome and keep up the good work. Stay safe!さようなら😁
I learned english too.. Through watching kdrama/cdrama/anime/movies in English Sub.) and also in school we learn english because a lot of subjects is english.. So we need to learn and understand it.
In the Philippines, from elementary we start learning english language and from high school all the way to college purely english. Our textbook is written in english pattern in u.s.a.
Nobody from the interviews said the truth. The reason why we Filipinos speak English so well and for such a long time because we were Colonized by America during the 1900's. If the Americans didn't come, then we would still be speaking Tagalog today, and if we do speak English it will be as poor as a Korean speaking in English. #KnowyourHistory
I like how you speak english, it's very clear unlike other japanese who try to speak english, I think it's because japanese language is really hard to learn and once you know how to speak japanese it's really hard to remove the accent just like how indians pronounce english words in their unique accent is very different on how a chinese pronounce the same word
The main issue is that they use katakana/hiragana when teaching English in Japan, though they use English alphabet as well, the pronunciation they were taught with are in katakana/hiragana.
Experience is the best teacher. Being able to be here in the Philippines and experience speaking the language really helps to improve your communication skills. When you are here, you are forced to speak English to communicate.
Here's my take on why Filipinos speak English well compares to other SE Asian countries (or even just other countries in general): 1. Blending and acceptance of American culture into Filipino culture - Filipinos are regularly exposed to American music, movies, TV shows, literature, and Filipinos generally like them so they had become part of our own culture and entertainment for such a long time. That's why they say the Philippines is very westernized compared to many other Asian nations. 2. A huge presence of English words used the typical Filipino conversation - and these words either have no Tagalog equivalent, or too phonetically complicated to flourish into mainstream use. Ask Filipinos what would be Tagalog words to: computer, cellphone, laptop, meeting, survey, busy, mall, promo, plastic bag, cake...so many more like these may not even have Tagalog translations! Most Filipinos even won't know the Tagalog word for some English words such as the color "orange". As one foreigner said, if you want to learn Tagalog, it's actually Taglish which you have to learn. 3. Use of English as a medium of instruction in academics - so many terms in math or sciences probably have no Tagalog counterpart so it will be practically impossible to conduct learning of technical subjects in Filipino languages. 4. Awareness of the importance and necessity of English - a lot of Filipinos generally aim to be able to work or travel abroad so we all know how English is the best language to learn to be able to communicate with people from other countries. Also, Filipinos are very fond and accepting of foreigners and they want their tourism or business. Since English is the global language, Filipinos do understand how helpful it is to know the language. 5. Exposure to the language even at a very young age - even Filipino babies typically are taught their very first actions or songs in English. "Where's your nose? Where's your head? Close-open, close-open!" 6. English's use in most formal communication - for example in letters or emails, instruction manuals; use of English is actually more convenient rather than using Tagalog since many formal/technical messages, laws, etc. are much easier delivered in English rather than in Tagalog.
For me, how we learn to speak in English fluently is because from grade school to college we have English subjects. Most of textbooks and exams are written in English except if the subject is Filipino. In the school where I studied from grade school to high school, we have English only policy meaning while inside the campus talking in Tagalog is prohibited except if our subject is Filipino.
The best to learn english especially for non english speaking country is to start at the kindergarten level or primary grade. Meaning medium of instruction must be in english. In school science, math, history, poetry, and other subjects must be taught in english for kids and young children to learn. Except however for native language which are used from day-to-day communication.
though not all Filipinos can proficiently speak English language, most of them can understand it. it became the standard language for education most especially to those under school scholarships and bright students.
Filipino English is easy to learn . In school We have the English subject which is the language and grammar..in language reading and comprehension..in grammar we learn the correct usage of its word and correct spelling and meaning..so easy right...
As a Cebuano, I'm capable of speaking Bisaya (Cebuano), Tagalog, and fluent English. Unfortunately, communicating outside of conversational Filipino often means I need to manually translate my English to Filipino.
After the Spanish American War and before WWII, Philippines became an American territory. This created an immigration between the two countries. The US installed the American education system and language. Since then there has been a link to American and Western culture and language.
It's actually true that we learn in school, but we are also immersed in watching english movies listening to english songs. And they're right, teachers teach us in English, be it science, math or whichever subject not related to language.
I believe in "immersion". Involve as much of your senses as possible when trying to learn a language and you'll have more "triggers" when recreating that language either by speaking, reading, or writing it.
Philippines ranked #3 as English speakers around the globe. Note drunk Filipino speak fluent English with out noticing it. it just comes from their mouth all of a sudden
tips to better your english.read,communicate and listen to english stuff.and when u see.or.hear an english word that u dont know,try to check the.meaning on dictionary or google it.then try to use in a sentence.and everyday add more vocabularies to your knowledge.like different english terms around you,signs,directions.or daily words that u used everyday in your own.language try to translate.them.in english and.use.it often.coz if u are rich in vocabularies you'll.be able to.understand or u have an idea on those english word that you'd encounter.then if u think u have enough vocabularies,slowly focus on grammar construction.u can learn english by your own if u really want.try to live each day using english as.much as u can.encourage.your friends or.family to communicate in.english.you'll be surprise of the result.
I watched your reaction, and I noted that only few of my fellow filipinos really provided the reasons why we filipinos speak english casually. First, english is one of the two official languages we have here, but official transactions are written in english, not to mention private one; second, it is our medium of learning from our elementary up to under graduate and post graduate studies like masterate and Phd studies; lastly, we are colonized by the Americans after the Spaniards, so we were then an english speaking country which we present generation perpetuate the same. Moreover, we are a country of so many major languages, so a filipino could at least speak three languages if you are from the provinces. Just like me, I speak my own local language Ilokano plus our national languages, Flipino and English. Your forefathers also ventured here in world II, so some of their offspring here with filipino could also speak your language in addition to ours. I hope this one gives you enough basis for you to have that comprehensive picture of us.
Ryusan へ、 リクエスト があります。 I’m curious how you learned english. Your english is really good. Can we get a video of how it came to be? That would be really interesting. お願いします。🙂
We learned english thru school from kinder to college since our subjects are all in english aside from filipino subject. In our classroom there is a policy requiring all of us to "Speak English Only" otherwise we will fined for an amount for not speaking english...and also watching english movies and television without english subtitles help us a lot to be better in english. i guess that's it, and also the medium form of instructions in Phillipines is in English so we are really required to learn and speak english.
foreigners often think highly about us speaking in English but on the other hand, the fluent speaker is very rare and if you speak English in public you'll draw attention around you and that's what they didn't know but we really speak in English tho, but only on school or special occasion or something like that but some of us really speak in English but when u speak English in public like market and someplace that is crowdy that's embarrassing unless if you speak in the mall and private places. actually, when my teacher asks me something about English I'm more likely have a heart attack like let me prepare what to say lmao and that's all
But here in japan if can't speak japanese they won't talk to you lol. But filipinos are very hospitable. Even they're having hard time speaking in English they always try their best to communicate to foreigners.
Example I read this word to other blogger..Leaving in Philippines to study English...but Leaving and Living has different meaning..it must be Living in Philippines to study english
It's easier for us to write, speak and read English because Filipino alphabet and syllables are much similar with English alphabet and syllables. Plus, our exposure to English language like in almost everywhere is a great factor why we can pronounce it better.
2:46 I think its more of about the laws where English literacy is pushed through in any forms such as media, education, etc. Executive order 210 is one of its essential movement to make the learninh easier. It is suppose to enhance communication and commerce for the country. Although it 'caused people to be have an overbilingualism habit, which indicates a weakness in langauge literacy.
English is a subject for us, it affects our grades. And we mimick a lot of grammar from american and TV. So learning English is like a skill that develops itself, especially since we used it a lot, in class. And yes our letters are literally almost the same, so at the age of 10, we can speak English not half bad.
On my opinion... i think it is because we were ones invaded by americans and another thing besides our subjects in english laungauges, maybe because filipino alphabet is more similar to english alphabet...
When you grow up speaking English from an early age you are at an advantage than compared with if you start late. If you start learning when you are say a toddler and continue until you are at a high school age, your English will be better than likely 99% of the people who start learning English in high school. Countries who widely speak English generally have a greater competitive advantage in global business than compared with countries who do not. Countries off the top of my head that widely speak English: USA, UK, Australia, Canada, Philippines, Norway, many other European countries, I think several African countries, and I think more.
At the very young age most the Filipino children can learn english. That what I observed nowadays. Thanks to the internet. That is the previledge that the current generation having now unlike during our time.
The easyiest way on how to learn English is reading english books. So much benefit you could get in constant reading. You will learn the grammar and you will be fluent in speaking. Be a wide reader that is all we need.
I can speak english a little in young age by watching movies and listening music all english but I can't understand it then time to time I can now at least speak english fluently... I'm Filipino
In English subject: i speak my mother tongue (Hiligaynon) 😅 In Tagalog subject: I speak English to annoy my teacher🤣 In ESP Subject: i was trying too hard to say tagalog words because my classmates doesn't know that i used to live in Legarda Manila so i speak tagalog so often they will call me "pa sosyal" or "feelingera" 😶
we learn.english at home first.our parents teaches us different english terms around us.so that when start schooling we already what the.teachers teaches.us.
I think English is the language that is generally used when 2 people of different countries of different languages cannot understand each other. If an Arab wants to speak to a Japanese, I think they will likely communicate in English.
True. Students and teachers usually use Taglish or their local language, but when answering questions on the subject especially in quizzes it's usually pure English or pure Tagalog for the other subjects.

During early age when we learn how to talk. Almost all moms and dads will ask thier children like, what's the english for (animals). Eg. What is the english for aso? Children should answer "dog". Or sometimes mommmy ask us like: what the english for bawow!(barking sound) children should answer "dog". Like now I have a 4yrs old son. He can relate more of himself in english than our local dialect.
phil school has only 1 subject/course that is in phils language, the rest are all in english (american standard), books, literature etc are american writers/authors. children’s books-3 little pigs, red riding hood, snow white, cinderella, etc these r all in english. the difference that some can speak well others not so well, is base on ur environment.
It's not really surprising though. The students here were taught of English since grade 1 until high school. Some mothers taught their childrens in English manner. So it was in our natural way of living and since it is our National 2nd language.
percentage of Filipinos don't speak the real English grammar but they read hear and understand English than speaking awkwardly because upon arriving home they speak on their own language.
it depends on the situation when we need to speak in english to foreigners or locals that prefer speaking in english(I think). I mean its only logical to do so, right?
Here's my thoughTs on the Philippines if you go bring own toilet paper! Likely they don't have in malls! And also the rest restroom is called the comfort room some times called the cr
It's okay to have different accent when spaking English as long as your grammar is correct..we don't have to sound like Americans cuz that is impossible and we should instead be proud of our Asian distinct accent... Be proud of your being Asian!!! By the way, I had fun learning Nihongo for two years in university but I forgot them all!😂
When I was in highschool and college we only use English in all of our subjects except of course for Filipino language subject. Event in our Philippine history subject we use English language. Also we are always tasked of making reports and project defense and we are required to use English in those times. I think the problem with South Korea and Japan is that they only study English in books and paper but they do not use it on a daily basis so they dont improve that much compared to Filipinos.
Hi I'm from Philippines. To be more frankly, you'll get used to how to speak English if you know the grammar and memorize it! We Filipinos, like to watch movies with english subtitles. You'll learn English quickly only if you are really interested! That's what I think from watching movies.
most of the private school here in the ph is english zone unlike in public school only a genius are good in english specially science school because most of them are genius student
i'm a Filipino i learn English language through online games and anime specially in school when the teacher gave you a English question you need to answer the question in English too
Facts: Even our national anthem was first written and sung in english (land of the morning) then later translated to Pilipino. (Filipino refers to people. Pilipino refers to language).
Actually Philippine national anthem originated from Spanish poetry and where all written and sung in Spanish form, even its first title were in Spanish. This is where the scene of Emilio Aguinaldo at the balcony in Kawit, Cavite in first raising of national flag; It is a year before American invasion. English were only adapted in Commonwealth era, even the translation are quite different.
My thoughts if go to Philippines is bring own toilet paper they likley don't think have in malls and the rest room is called the comfort room or some times cr
Well Im a 11 year old pilipina and i taught myself to learn english when i was young. I watched Mickey mouse and some disney movies and that's how i learned english and i am not every good at tagalog at all and i can't even understand it...Now Im 11 and Im starting to learn a little bit of japanese because of Anime.
Living here in the UK where English is invented many centuries ago, I have to speak it always apart from speaking to my wife or other Filipinos here. Can't even speak Hiligaynon - which is a local dialect of mine (and wife's as well) to my kids. They can understand but can't speak fluently. Funny thing is, if you're really upset and mad at your kids, I can't even speak fluent English with them...
Can I just say- that back at elementary, during english class, not only did we have to wear smth around the school that says "I didn't speak english" as a punishment, we also had to pay a certain amount of money depending on how many non-english words were said, and the teacher puts the money in the class' savings- :') I mean- they make good use of the money but like- imagine if the parents didn't let the kid bring money to school 😭
Do not use the word LITTLE when you are describing the form or telling how young you are at that time instead use SMALL or say when I was small tot. . .x.x.x.x"
Most of us don't speak English at home because that's not our Mother tongue. Only Celebrites or elite do. We love speaking using our Native language and not the foreign one but English is necessary to get a job in the PH.
english is an international language thats why most filipinos knows how to speak english. the truth is that philippines is know for the number of language they can speak. the reason is because here in the Philippines there are schools that teaches foreign languages like french, greek, mandarin, and also japanese...
I guess the best content you should make is for food try to introduce us your culture and food make sure you have a Filipino friend who is new to japan lols try to treat him that would be good tho, it's not a unique content but I can hook Filipino viewers to watch this
