Lesson 10
Welcome to your Level 1 finale
You've reached the final lesson of Level 1!
Over the previous nine lessons, you've learned how to greet people, introduce yourself, talk about family, eat together, shop at the market, make plans, and express your feelings.
Today, Ana and Ben visit Rosa. They greet each other, make plans to go shopping, and look forward to sharing a meal.
Most of the expressions should sound familiar. This lesson brings them together into one everyday conversation.
Your goal: Understand the conversation, practise speaking naturally, and discover how much Tagalog you can already use.

Can you recognise the greetings, feelings, time expressions, shopping questions and invitation to eat?
You don't need to understand every grammatical detail yet. Being able to recognise and respond to everyday expressions is already meaningful progress.
Congratulations!
You've now worked through ten lessons of practical Tagalog.
You can begin conversations, greet people respectfully, introduce yourself, talk about family, count, buy simple things, make plans, describe feelings, and share everyday moments with Filipino speakers.
Keep practising the dialogues aloud, especially with someone who speaks Tagalog.
What's next? Level 2 will build on these foundations with longer conversations, more questions, and useful situations from daily life.
Talk to You Soon!
