Christmas, ah, that lovely holiday. Although Christmas in the Philippines is different from the Western idea of Christmas – no snowmen or jingle bells here, Pinoys have their own special way of bringing in the cheer. For culture talk, Mickey and Cris discuss different Filipino traditions and share a special Christmas message for all the Kalyespeak supporters. Merry Christmas everyone!

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!
