## 1. Drew GS

Review title: Best Tagalog language tool out there!

> 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. My speaking coach Darlyn has been especially helpful in correcting my pronunciations and giving tips on making my speech more natural. Finally, the AI conversation feature is so helpful as it gives me confidence to speak without a Tita judging me.

Review title: Actually gets you speaking!

> 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!

Review title: Practical Help

> 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.

Review title: Been waiting for this!

> 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!

Review title: Gentle and keeps me on track!

> 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! Coach Darlyn has been a huge help as well. Having someone gently and excitedly keep me on track helps so much!

Review title: Great Learning App

> 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!

Review title: Learning that STICKS

> i also appreciate the challenge of recording myself speaking the language to a coach and getting real feedback! from a real person! highly recommend. the knowledge compounds over time, you learn phrases that are actually useful, and it breaks down the nuances of the language that aren’t easily defined elsewhere.

Review title: Digital Immersion
