I recently adopted an older child from the Philippines and having this book made it easier for him to understand English. Good comprehensive dictionary.

Customer Rating: 

This book was quite useful and is very thorough. Not only does it have the translation, but it also talks about the culture. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs an extra resource to learn Tagalog.

This is a pretty good dictionary most of the time. I am trying to learn conversational Tagalog and generally find more than half the words I look up. For complete novices like me, a book teaching the language is also requisite. Language oddities like prefixes, suffixes, and in-the-middle-of-the-word fixes make simple word lookup something of a treasure hunt without knowledge of basic language structure. For conversation, I would also recommend supplementing this dictionary with a book that is heavy on slang and colloquial usage. A plus for the dictionary is the organized list of related words, such as food types, professions, body parts, etc.

While this dictionary was useful i was advised by loacal Manila residents that many of the tag words are out moded or not in use.
