"Filipino 2 (Tagalog)"

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

This second beginner course in Filipino (Tagalog) 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.

After exploring the basics in Filipino 1,  you will now delve deeper into the language and culture  of the Philippines in Filipino 2.

We will look at SA forms, the use of may and meron, and the UM verb (actor-focus). We will talk about family and other daily activities in simple Tagalog.

Please note: This course requires the skills taught in Filipino 1, and it is essential that participants have a command of the fundamentals conveyed therein.

Marami pong salamat!
