Video Series on Learn Filipino with Coach Francis

Update June 10, 1976

Hi, fellow Netizens!

I will be using this one post (and space) to insert all my videos for the Learn Filipino with Coach Francis.

The plan is to sustain this project for 12 months with the goal of completing the 80 videos covering almost all topics in Learning to Speak and Understand Filipino.

So here are lessons 2 and 3 with the first in the series at the bottom. Hoping I get to help and teach those who are Non-Native Filipino Speakers and Foreigners as well!

Lesson Three, Greetings and Common Expressions in Filipino:

In this video, I shared the most common greetings and expressions one would encounter in their daily conversations while in the country. The "honorifics" "po" and "opo" were also discussed ---learn to be polite in your words and actions will be directed towards politeness too.

And for Lesson Two, Syllables and Stress in Filipino.

Here is Lesson Two of Learn Filipino with Coach Francis. In this video, I talked about Syllables and Stress in Filipino. Syllables are the units of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants, forming the whole or a part of a word; e.g., there are two syllables in ama (a-ma) and three in kumusta (Ku-mus-ta). I also discussed the accents in the Filipino language including the Four Principal “stress” placements for most of the words. I have been teaching Filipino as a Language Acquisition class in an IB School in the Philippines for the last eleven years and I felt it's time for me to share and reach out to more interested learners of this beautiful language --Filipino

Here is Lesson One, Introduction to Filipino for Foreigners and Non-Native Speakers. This is the very first in the Learn Filipino with Coach Francis Series. 

In this video, I talked about basic pronunciations of vowels and semi-vowels also known as diphthongs. I also shared in this educational video the foreign words that have been used as part of the daily conversational Filipino which originates from Spain and from the English Language.
