The ONLY book on Tagalog Verbs,
By
This review is from: Handbook of Tagalog Verbs (Paperback)
When I study a language, I go for the verbs. Tagalog verbs are extremely difficult, as there are many different forms each verb root can take. This book helps a lot to show the different forms a particular verb root can take and what they all mean. My only complaint is that it does not have enough verbs in it, only 200.

Excellent Reference Book,

This review is from: Handbook of Tagalog Verbs (Paperback)
Without doubt, the most difficult aspect of learning Tagalog is verb conjugation. To be able to understand "focus", affixes and roots gives you an immediate recogniiton of what is being said and what is being written.
As a beginner/intermediate student, I typically learn in a "rules" based fashion. This reference guide (and no it is NOT a phrase book) teaches you to recognize repeated patterns in the structure of the verbs. I thoroughly recommend this book. The excellent introductory chapter clearly explains how to interpret the verb tables. There are approximately 200 Tagalog verbs shown in the tables. Someone mentioned above that they wish the number was increased. However, if you study the conjugation of these 200 verbs - you will be able to conjugate 99% of all verbs.

This review is from: Handbook of Tagalog Verbs (Paperback)
Tagalog verbs are very hard for the non-tagalog to understand. It's a lot of hard work and you will have to dig a little deeper. If you thought that Tagalog was an easy language and that you would master it with this book you were wrong. On the other hand this book will be a great help for those who are serious students of Tagalog. If you are just trying to learn a phrase or two...this is not you book.
