The Language Chronicle is now offering the first of several free language texts for a variety of languages. The first of these is for Tagalog or more appropriately, the standardized language of the Philippines with considerable Tagalog influence.

The course was produced originally by the Defense Language Institute and is titled, Philippine HeadStart

While the course does contain some military and diplomatic terminology, the overwhelming majority of the text is practical for any individual to use.

To access the text, simply use right on Philippine HeadStart and save. This is a pdf version of the text.

Thanks to a special agreement, the audio is now being offered at the Ultimate Language Store at a discounted price of $19.99. Visit Philippine Audio MP3s. The Philippine course is the last option on drop down list.

Check back as we start offering a long list of free text and audio courses in the coming weeks.
