"Filipino 1 (Tagalog)"

  • 1 semester
  • 4,0 credits
  • 2 SWS ("Semesterwochenstunden": hours of lessons per week)

This beginner Filipino (Tagalog) course is open throughout the university to students of various disciplines. Participants must have at least a B1 level in German, as the learning materials will be in German.

In Filipino 1, we will cover simple conversations and the basics of specific grammatical aspects, such as simple sentence structures, ANG and NG forms, verb focus and aspect, and initial verb forms with actor focus.

We will also learn to formulate short personal introductions and to use the vocabulary we have learned to speak about ourselves, whether as students or professionals.

In addition to the language course, we will dedicate several classes to acquiring intercultural competence in dealing with Filipino culture.

Marami pong salamat!
