Learn Cebuano

At Last! Now you too can learn this vital language. If you are tossing up between learning FIlipino (Tagalog) or Visayan (Cebuano and other regional dialects in Negros, Bohol, Leyte, Mindanao, Suiquijor and of course Cebu) ask yourself two questions: 1. Where will I be living in the Philippines 2. What is my Filipina's first language? If she speaks Visayan or a Visayan dialect then the answer is easy... learn Visayan. If you will be living in a Visayan speaking region then you really should learn the local language. It will be well worth the effort and might even save your life!

I highly recommend these Philippines guide books from Perry Gamsby. I have found them invaluable in moving here and adjusting to the culture.
