hi arvinsign, i hear the same comments all the time about the Ilonggo diction. but when i’m angry, my husband could only protest about that common perception. LOL.

hi klyte, thanks for visiting my blog.

hi thess, it’s hard to tolerate both hahaha.

i also have the same dilemma. mine is worst. it’s kind of connected as to which school she’s going to when she grows up. and even which country to live. aside from the fact that my daughter has to learn ilonggo and tagalog, i also have to consider which second language she should learn: (french in canada or spanish here in the US).

but if im in your shoes, i can tolerate a bit of kris aquino ‘taglish’ instead of the “me” or “you”. like “tapos na me, mommy” or “kain na you, mommy”. that irritates the heck out of me!

you’re so funny and i understand your frustrations. don’t worry, once he goes back to school , it’ll all come back. i assume he goes to an all english speaking school in korea. he may be talking taglish right now because that’s what he hears all the time but you shouldn’t worry about it. your son is very smart. as long as you’re around him, he’ll be fine. i was the same way with my kids, i get hard on them sometimes because i always want them to speak proper english and not get used to “the american slang”. you’re not alone.

Seriously Wendy, im in love with this Ilonggo diction…so malambing and pleasing to the ears (at least from the point of view of a pure tagalog person like myself)
