Practise Tagalog in two ways. The vocab drill works through about 500 common words in ten tiers, with audio. The grammar drill has nine tracks — the focus system, aspect, the three pronoun sets, may and wala, describing things, questions, likes, commands and the enclitic particles — each built from short concepts with a reference to read before you start. Every concept starts as multiple choice and moves on to typing whole sentences.
The five vowels are pure, as in Spanish: a e i o u are ah eh ee oh oo.
ng is one letter, the sound at the end of sing, and Tagalog is happy to start a word with it: nga·yón.
Stress is usually on the last or second-to-last syllable, but it isn't predictable from the spelling and isn't written down. It has to be learned with the word, and it can be the whole difference: bú·kas (tomorrow) against bu·kás (open). Words whose spelling doesn't give them away show a respelling under the answer in the vocab drill.
Two common words aren't said as spelled: the marker ng is said nang, and the plural marker mga is said ma·ngá.
