Download this episode (13 min)
Ever got trapped with a Filipino in the elevator? Well, here's the perfect thing to say to break the awkward silence. Jovitt covers for Cris and joins Mickey as they talk about a useful Filipino tongue-twister and give more examples that will surely get you saying... "huuuuwatttt???"

Dialogue:

A: Papa, bababa ba?
B: Oo, bababa. Bababa ka ba?
A: Oo, bababa ako kasama yung tupa.
Tupa: Beeeeeeeh.. Beeeeeeeeh...

A: Papa, is it going down?
B: Yup, it's going down. Are you going down?
A: Yup, I'm going down, and I have the sheep with me.
Sheep: Beeeh... beeehh..

Get down, get down and move it all around with the PDF guide!

Mabuhay ang Bagong Kasal!

KalyeSpeak said...: Hitokiri, until now, I can't seem to say the "nakakapagpabagabag." Hahaha, that's a killer.

JP, you're right! This isn't pidginpod.com, haha. Ay naku!

I listened to "Babababa?" and "And baho ang kili kili mo!" on a long drive with some friends and the next thing you know we were forming even more inappropriate sentences about what stinks!

You guys are hilarious!; 6/14/2008 2:36 PM

I'm on TFC overload here:

Wowowee is on now:

Boom tarat tarat!

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!
