uh.. i think there's an error, January 21, 2006
 

Reviewer: Albert W. Lei "just me" (sf, ca)

i just read through most of these reviews and it seems to me there might have either been a mix-up on the part of the reviewers (reviewing the wrong product) or a glitch in the website (somehow transferring reviews for the korean language product to this page about the tagalog language product). anywho, that's just my guess.. because it seems odd that more than one person of different locales reviewed a product for korean.

FOR THE PEOPLE THAT GAVE THIS A BAD REVIEW, January 20, 2006
 

Reviewer: O. Esposo (Virginia Beach, VA)

FIRST OF ALL TAGALOG IS THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF THE PHILIPPINES "NOT" KOREA'S. SO WHY WOULD YOU GIVE THIS A BAD REVIEW BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TEACH YOU HOW TO SPEAK KOREAN. IT'S LIKE GIVING A SPANISH CD A BAD REVIEW BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TEACH YOU HOW TO SPEAK RUSSIAN. IF ANYONE DESERVES A BAD REVIEW; IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT GAVE THIS A BAD REVIEW BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TEACH THEM KOREAN. YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR RESEARCH AND YOU PURCHASED THE WRONG PRODUCT!

I love it!!!, September 8, 2005
 

Reviewer: Jason Montero

It is a very clear CD with a semi-helpful booklet. The CD's are easy to understand and go everywhere I go. Great product at a reasonable price

If you want to study Korean go elsewhere! Why?, December 27, 2004
 

Reviewer: Dennis R. Smith (Norristown, PA)

If you are looking to study Korean, learning Tagalog will leave you up a creek without a paddle. Why? Because Tagalog is the national language of the Philippines, not Korea. Tagalog is the major ethnic group of people of the surrounding metro-Manila area, hence Tagalog was adopted as the national language for the Philippines. There are close to one hundred major and minor languages in the Philippines, with many having dialects and subdialects. Ilocano, Bikol and Cebucano are three the largest by population languages spoken. However, Korean is not related to Tagalog, obviously, since Korea is located several hundred miles north of the Philippines by a sea and Japan. Anyway, as a study effort for Tagalog, this particular program is pretty good for an introduction to Tagalog. If you know nothing about Tagalog, it will quickly have you speaking basic phrases and give you a beginning vocabulary of Tagalog. You will not be speaking like a native in the language, but it is a great starter that served me well. It does offer a more intensive program if you wish to persue the language further. Good luck.

Terrible Format, May 8, 2003
 

Reviewer: "sub8hr" (Des Moines, IA USA)

The Language 30 series is without a doubt one of the worst language products on the market. It's a mere phrasebook recorded on tape in poor quality at high speed. You will not learn Korean from this tape, at best you will learn a bunch of Korean phrases with very approximal English translations. The other bad features are too many to go into.

This is my first attempt at Mandarin..., April 24, 2003
 

Reviewer: Heather Sommer (Eau Claire, WI USA)

and I found this product to be helpful. It does go a little fast, but explains well in the booklet. I recommend pairing it with a phrasebook, but it does alright on its own.
One really helpful thing is that units are put on separate tracks, so you can find a unit easily. Both male and female voices are used.
This one is well worth the [...]!
