Foundations in Filipino
Why Your Child Still Struggles with Filipino
You’ve tried books, videos, and flashcards.
You’ve repeated the same words over and over.
You’ve done everything you can think of.
And still… your child struggles to speak Filipino with confidence.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Most Filipino learning materials assume your child already understands the language.
But what if they don’t? What if you’re starting from scratch, or coming from a multicultural or English-speaking home?
Foundations in Filipino was created with families just like yours in mind. It’s a gentle, open-and-go curriculum designed to meet your child right where they are—no prior language knowledge required. Whether you’re a parent guiding your child or a learner beginning the journey yourself, this workbook offers a warm, practical place to start.
Rooted in the Functional Situational Approach and inspired by both Charlotte Mason and Classical education, this program teaches Filipino in a way that feels natural, relational, and doable. No pressure. No overwhelm. Just simple, meaningful learning that fits into daily life.
Inside, your child will:
-
Build confidence through real-life, everyday conversations
-
Learn at a steady, natural pace with joyful repetition
-
Absorb Filipino through short stories, picture studies, and engaging dialogues
-
Practice vocabulary in context—not through isolated drills
-
Use the language at home, in the market, in school, and with family and friends
This isn’t just about catching up or checking a box.
It’s about building a strong, lasting foundation—one that helps your child truly use the language with joy and confidence.
Because Filipino shouldn’t feel like a subject to master.
It should feel like a living language—spoken with heart, connection, and meaning.
Foundations in Filipino gives you a gentle way forward.
A way to grow together.
And a way to finally hear your child speak Filipino—not just with fluency, but with confidence and pride.
