Real stories from people learning Tagalog with Tahanan.

“This app has been great so far. It’s easy to use, and very encouraging which helps me feel motivated. It can be tricky to stay motivated to learn the language especially in diaspora!”

“I really enjoy the activities and prompts to engage you, especially the challenges from Coach Darlyn and the phone calls. I’m able to practice my Tagalog and get better each day!”

“I’ve been doing it for about 3-4 months now daily and my most shocked was watching a video online and being able to follow the convo for a bit. I wasn’t perfect but I found myself not having to read caption in English as much. Absolutely love it!”

“I've been using Tahanan for four weeks, and I feel like I've learned more now than I have with the years of self-study I've done in the past. I love the simple bite-sized lessons and the clear explanations.”

“Not only does it teach me natural and useful ways of speaking, it breaks down the grammar and even the culture so everything is taken into account to prepare you for communicating in the Philippines.”

“This is by far the best app to learn Tagalog for beginners. I am 100% Filipina and grew up hearing it, but never fully understood and only knew a few phrases. The coaching and practice with AI phone call feature is really what makes this app stand out.”

“It’s especially great for fil-am who understand Tagalog pretty well but can’t speak it. The app will actually get you speaking with the 1-1 coach and AI conversation partner. I’m only a few weeks in but I feel like my speaking skills have improved so much already!”

“It can be very challenging at times, but Tahanan makes the process fun. It’s also brought my partner and I a lot closer. He loves helping me study and we always plan study dates at local coffee shops.”

“I’ve long struggled to find a method of learning Tagalog, with the goal of conversational fluency with my fiancée and her family. After trying many apps, this one finally has helped me take big steps toward that goal!”

“This app goes at a great pace and milestones are reasonably achievable. I’m learning to teach my daughter and speak with my husband and his family! Love the different learning techniques as well as the cultural significance included in each lesson.”

“I am very impressed with this app! It is structured extremely well and makes learning something to look forward to. The coaching feature is a great addition where you can work with a real person and have that extra support.”
