Just like any Filipinos , I am very happy that our national language "Filipino" is fast appealing to the international community!

I've met some, this white guy married a filipina and this white girl who married a filipino... hheehe they're so into it too.

Yeah I know of a few non-Filipinos who speak Tagalog... all older people though (ie. married, divorced etc.) I know one of them actually learnt the language while living in the Philippines while the others all married Filipinos/Filipinas and learnt the language from their significant other.

It sounds weird coming from the mouth of a non-Filipino but its pretty nice of them to learn the language though beerchug.gif

i've met so much non filipino who speak filipino languages or dialetcs, whites, some middleastern, some indian, and some black.
Kanlungan
Indians and middleasterns, I think, speak better tagalog than whites..(based on experience lang ) kasi they have funnier accents when they speak tagalog..Hehe.. yung Tagalog ng mga bumbay, OK lang...pero kapag puti..medyo nakakatawa

Good for him/her....
