The Best Tagalog Classes In London
Finding face-to-face, in-person Tagalog/Filipino courses in London is, though not impossible, close to it!
Although roughly 50 million people speak Tagalog across the globe, and the Philippines has become an increasingly important player in global trade, the language has yet to become popular.
However, we were able to find 1 organisation that offers Tagalog language lessons in London, at the beginner level. In addition, we’ve included a couple of awesome online/digital Tagalog courses that you might want to consider if you’re on a tight budget.
There are roughly 200,000 Filipinos living in the UK, 70% (140,000) of whom reside in London, particularly in the Earls Court area, plus plenty of Filipino supermarkets and restaurants dotted around the the UK’s capital. This means that you won’t have to look very far to find someone with whom to practice your new Tagalog skills.
Why not pick up one of these before you start?
