Romeo and Juliet. Bonny and Clyde. Donald and Daisy. Filipinos and their food. Simply inseparable. In the pilot podcast of Kalye Speak, Mickey and Cris talk about that oh-so-sweet, oh-so-creamy dessert with that mix-mix name.
Dialogue:
A: Exage! Ang sarap!
B: Ano ba iyan?
A: Halo-halo.
B. Sinabi mo pa, masarap talaga iyan.
Translation:
A: Wow! Delicious!
B: What is that?
A: Halo-halo!
B. You said it, that's really good!

At last, our first episode! We've finally recorded an episode after weeks of testing. We admit there are still some stuff to work on, so give us some feedback so that we can improve your learning experience. Be brutally honest. We're incredibly dense, that's why we made this thing -- like William Hung -- with no professional training. But with your help, we'll get there!
A few people to thank and give credit for helping out in this project:
Ken Carroll, Jenny Zhu, and John Pasden for being our inspirations. 多谢！
The Malabon Brass band for their "Pangango sa Ilaw March", which is the theme music of this episode.
Jill Lao, our original lady voiceover, who had to move on before this project was to be launched. We wish you all the best in the fashion world!
Kimie Ong, our new lady voiceover. You'll be hearing more of her in future episodes!
And of course, God for being awesome.

Whether you're hopping around our 7,107 islands or hanging out with one of the millions of Filipinos worldwide, KalyeSpeak can help you speak your mind freely!
KalyeSpeak is practical, fun, even entertaining at times. We will not bore you with textbook dictation and miles and miles of memorization. Our lessons get right down to the vernacular -- just as how it is spoken in the street. This way, you can rule shopping, watch what you eat, and even delight that cute little Filipina on the beach.
Learn Filipino, as Filipinos speak it.
Thanks to the genuises of Chinesepod (John P, Ken, and Jenny Zhu) and Spanishpod (JP -- who is Pinoy btw -- and Lili) for being our inspirations and idols! You guys changed online language learning for everyone!

haha! nice podcast! i'll let my friends know about this one! mickey your voice is a bit soft lang :)
thanks inca! yeah nga, we have yet to buy a nice mic eh :P hehe, but we fixed it na in later episodes! :)
Anong ulo? Ung ulo sa baba?
Hi this is hitokiri6993, I'm also from Chinesepod. good job guys.:)
Hahaha, are you Filipino hitokiri?
Ah, Chinesepod, our inspiration. :)
Hi.:) Yes. I'm Chinoy.:)
Cool, cool. :) Spread the word. 加油。：）
Galeng! A funny yet effective way of learning the Filipino language.
Keep it up!
Thank You!
Wow!!! Great first episode, good job guys!! Here's my harsh bit of criticism -- PLEASE don't keep using the phrase "high frequency". Cpod already uses it a lot, and I find it getting to be so OA.
As for halo halo being the first eps? Ah, I am now convinced -- kalyespeak is awesome! Last time I visited the Philippines, I always tried out the halo halo from every place I ate... LOL. Luckily walking and sweating (which is basically the same thing..) kept it from showing.
I can't wait to catch up on the other episodes! I hope there are intermediate episodes added sometime too (unless I missed them?) Is there a sort by category function? Anyway you guys rock, rock, ROCK~!!!!
okay! will find a synonym for "high frequency", hehe.. hmm.. :)
hope you got to try the Halo halo from Razon's or Chowking. Both are different but good in their own way. Yummy!! :)
and we're working on some intermediate episodes! we just have to find time to get the team together to record! :) thanks for the support!!

Actually I like knowing what phrases are high frequency!
Just found this podcast and....I would have never been a Tagalog language school dropout @ the local Filipino Center had the language been taught this way.
Salamat!
Glad you like the podcasts! We've been a bit busy so we haven't uploaded any new episodes yet! :)
Leave us your name so we know who you are, kaibigan! :)
