Intermediate Tagalog

"The novel approach followed in Intermediate Tagalog is its emphasis on teaching culture. Each lesson focuses on a few sapects of Filipino culture, and often there is within the lesson an opportunity for students to refer to their own culture. Cross-cultural sensitivity and awareness are thus fostered. As this book is meant for a course in intermediate or advanced Tagalog for Americans, the writers initially explored areas of potential cultural conflict between Filipinos and Americans and focused on them in writing these language materials. The language used, however, is authentic and not controlled at all" --Introduction.
