Conversational Filipino Language Program
KAPISANAN is offering Tagalog classes that use the direct method of learning a language. The students focus on CONVERSATIONAL skills in Tagalog. Classroom techniques include role-plays, games, songs, pair work, and writing exercises, all developed and taught by Christine Balmes!
At the end of the 10-week program, students should be able to use Filipino in greetings and situations such as telling ti…me as well as asking and giving directions. Our aim is to equip students who complete each level with Filipino language that describes people, objects, places, narrates an event or simple story; expresses feelings, as well as agreement or disagreement.
Every Monday @ 6:00pm starting April 11th, 2011 – June 13th, 2011
$250 for V.I.P. Club Members of Kapisanan
