"Hello, My name is Lita. I am a Filipina with an American boyfriend. I just wanted to talk
with you about something that has really increased the love and understanding
between my boyfriend and myself.
You see, even though I speak English, my native language is Bisaya.
I really didn't know how much my boyfriend cared about me till I heard him speaking Bisaya
also call Cebuano. He said he'd learned it from a language course
called "Essential Cebuano: How to Speak and Understand Cebuano"
Not only has he made a deep impression on me, but also on my whole family.
They say he must really love me if he's taken the time and effort to learn our language.
If you are a Filipina and have a boyfriend or a husband, that doesn't speak Bisaya,
this would make a terrific gift for him or for a friend. Go to this website to
This is a great book. Speaking as someone who has been happily married to a Filipina for 37 years, I can highly recommend this book. I personally know the author, Perry Gamsby, an Aussie, who is also happily married to a wonderful Filipina. Get this book and save yourself a lot of time and money!
