Used to write: Tagalog, and some other Philippine languages.Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines.Type of writing system: syllabic alphabet / abugida.It works in a similar way to Baybayin, one of the scripts used for Tagalog. Sixth, visit Philippines.The Indian-abakada is a way to write Tagalog with the Devanagari alphabet devised by กฤตธัช แก้วฟุ้ง (Krittathat Kaeofung) to show it is possible to write Tagalog with other scripts. Look for Filipino friends you can talk to in Tagalog in regular basis. Start with very simple vocabulary that you know then use it in a sentence to build your knowledge. Third, watch Filipino movies and listen to Filipino songs. Second, learn basic words and its meaning than learn phrases and it's meaning in your own language but FYI some Filipino words doesn't have exact meaning in english so take the whole sentence to understand it. I agree with above suggestions first learn the basic Filipino alphabet "ABAKADA". Hope this can help you I'm not a native speaker but I think I can suggest you some websites that I'm using as a Tagalog learner.

I'll try to find a book about Tagalog language. The best way to expand your vocabulary is to remember a word not through translation, but directly to its meaning. If you're just gonna rely on books your Tagalog would sound unnatural in casual conversation, and it would be hard for you to remember Tagalog words, since you're memorizing it through its translation and not by heart. I believe that the best way to learn a language is through immersion.
