Learning The Language Part 2

So far the words and/or phrases I have learned are Good day or literally beautiful lunchtime, Can you understand English?, ba, (to make it in to a question like I could say I look pretty today ba?) and more! I am just learning it but it is so fun to learn it.

Learning The Language

My Dad says that maybe this week or weekend we will start learning the language! As I said I want to learn the phrases, "hello, where's the bathroom, you look pretty, I'm English, and I'm here to help." I can't wait to learn those phrases! This is going to be my first language because I haven't learned French yet. This is going to be great!

The Beginning


My whole family is going on a mission trip to Boracay Island. We are going in the summer of Grade Four. We are going for a whole year. I am super excited! We are doing this because we are going to help the people who live there. My parents are going to teach kids and teach teachers. Me and my sisters are going to go to cuddle babies, talk to the kids, and teach bible study. The island is 1 mile wide, and 6 miles long. We are going to learn some of the language. The national language is Tagalog. The words I want to learn are, hello, where is the bathroom, you look pretty, I'm here to help. I get to visit many places on the way home like Wales, and Scotland. I will blog some more soon!
