It seems like the last sentence should include something about 'wika' or 'lenggwahe'.

Gusto kong makipagusap sa pamilya ng aking mahal sa buhay. โ‰  I want to speak to my partner's family in their language.

Hi Albert Ringwald,

Your main reason for learning sounds so exciting! No worries, the language is not easy to learn for everyone but remember that every Filipino person you meet will be glad if you show how much effort you put in to learning our language, I assure you. :)

Keep going even if it gets tough! A simple, salamat will take you a long way!

I live with friends that speak the language, and also have others that speak it as well. Would love to be able to make conversation with them in Filipino although they also speak English.
