Ever buy your dream TV, bring it home, set it up in your living room, and just when you’re ready to kick-back into LCD-heaven, you find out it doesn’t work? If you have, then here’s how to say it in Filipino – the simplest way possible. Join Mickey and Cris as they explore the world of brokenness and um, fixed-ness.

A: Kuya, pwede ipapalit?
B: Bakit?
A: Sira siya eh.
B: Hmm… ayos siya. Hindi lang naka-plug

A: Kuya, can we have this exchanged?
B: Why?
A: It’s broken.
B: Hmm, it’s working fine. It just wasn’t plugged.

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!
