@felixthefox100 Thanks for your kind comment. Why do I want to teach Cebuano? I've had many requests from lots of people coming to Cebu that are interested in learning the local language.
@7morbid0 Going over the video again. I see that I had already inserted a note saying that Bikolano is not a Bisayan language., but thanks for the correction anyway.
@MagicMaximo ..Masbateño from Bikol region speaks visayan ang Bikolano. they called their language Bisakol meaning Visayan and Bikol, Masbate is part of Visayas
It's nice that u learn Cebuano coz majority language in Philippines is Cebuano although Tagalog is national language but if you are in Visayas and Mindanao they can speak Cebuano sometimes they have one letter different like in English (LOST), Cebu City means, (NAWA) slang word or short word... in Cebu province (NA WALA,) in other island (NA WAJA)..in Surigao Mindanao (NA WAYA) or same Cebuano (NA WALA) one sample UNDER means, in Bicol (ILARUM)in Cebu City (ILAWUM) in province (ILALUM) THANKS!
@XpianoxboyX I feel the most comfortable speaking English, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. My college major was linguistics, so I've dabbled in lots of other languages. I've got lots of YouTube videos in Tagalog and Vietnamese. Just a few in Spanish.
@MagicMaximo thanks you're a really great man haha
i'm trying to learn dutch, my native dialects of cebuano & ilonggo (don't want to forget tagalog too I guess), hangul (korean) and some Australian slang.
Ngiga oi! Maayo kaayo ka molitok Mr. Brown! (wow! You pronounce very well!)
I am a cebuano who is now based in California and I'm really missing Cebu. I love watching your videos because I'm reminded of the value of my culture! Salamat Kaayo!
@MagicMaximo Ugh, you put me to shame man! I'm a filipino but living in Dubai, i speak only English! How long did it take you to speak Tagalog and Cebuano? I need to learn them since my dad is from Cebu. I also need to learn itawit cuz my mom is from the north. lol i need to keep up with three languages...
@Joverrated That's crazy. if You can learn Itawit Cebuano and Tagalog you're in good shape. Since Itawit is from a different branch of languages than Cebuano or Tagalog. (at least with those 2 there are some common words or sounds).
This is great! I think you enunciated the words very well. Ngiga nimo! lol Oh and I think you could also add this to the "leave-taking" part: "Ayo-ayo lang"... I think that means "Take care". But maybe that's more appropriate between close friends and relatives.
u really impress me mr.bud brown! majority of tagalogs dont understand bisaya but bisaya we understand tagalog... i'm lucky to be born bisaya because it is automatic you can learn both tagalog & bisaya growing up... But bisaya is very complex that's why for ordinary tagalogs they have a hard time catching up our lingo... Maybe you can impress them by teaching tagalogs how to speak Bisaya?? U amaze me w/ your bisaya accent as if you were a Jesuit priest in Mindanao! keep it up! Kudos Mr.Brown
@spartahitman Yes, you're right about the Tagalogs having a hard time learning Bisaya. I've heard that a lot. And you're ARE lucky to be born Bisaya, knowing Tagalog and Bisaya. Although I feel more comfortable speaking Tagalog, little by little I'm feeling more comfortable speaking Bisaya. Thanks for your kind comments and No, I was definitely not a Jesuit priest in Mindanao. lol!
whats the hardest dialect to learn in your opinion? I want to learn Tagalog because my wife speaks it. Even though her english is just as good as mine I think it would show respect to learn her native language as well.
Hei there! I'm Marc from Manila, I moved here in Cebu couple of months ago, I'm having a hard time studying Bisayan language, i was surprised that I will learn this language not from a Filipino/Cebuano but from you, hehehe, Good Job! Wish me luck. :)
Woow you really have a good cebuano accent! I am a Cebuana too. Thanks for this video it really helps to someone I know who wants to know Cebuano fluently.
cebuano is some kind of a modified spanish, i mean not all of it. but it is a bit similar to spanish, and i think around 75 percent of cebuano came from spanish and the rest are from the austronesians, malay, indo. i think!!!
Maayong gabii sir , I have a video like yours but mine is a bit more of a joke...my wife is from cebu so i know some pure cebuano..iilongo as understand it is very very different oo ..anyway I dont know too much tagalog..cool that you do...hope you will see my video too...salamat...tara na bihaye tayo.. he he
what is the difference between asa ka man paingon and asa ka muadto? im am learning visaya and im trying really hard, do you have any advice or tips for me? i would love to go to the philipines and find a wife or make new friends. do you think watching cebu movies and songs willl help me? dagtan salamat kaayo :)

I'm a filipino living in LA since 96!i just turned 30, i met my beautiful gf in the phillipines and she's from cebu!we talk on the phone everyday and i try to speak cebuano to her just for fun but she would just make fun of me because of my accent and she thinks its cute.anyways, youve been such a great help!dakog salamat dong!!
,,aahhmmm,, in bohol its not boholano its bul.anun its like bisaya too but some words are pronounce different,,, Like siya in bohol it is pronounce siza,,,:D
Wow, nice vid. I am a Filipino but I speak Tagalog. But because of my mother who is Cebuana, I learned to understand their language. And, yes, all of what you've teach here are true.
You speak in Cebuano well. Keep sharing it. It is practical to your friends as Cebuano is being spoken by most Filipinos as a first language even more than Tagalog. Pls note "as a first language". Many people in southern Philippines use it specially in Mindanao. You can check it.
Thank you for your comments. I feel a little inadequate teaching Cebuano, because I don't speak it as well as Tagalog but I'll do my best. If I get corrected by my Visayan friends, that's ok, 'cause that's the way I learn. Fall down, get up, fall down, get up, finally I learn to walk. :=)
I think it is...I have difficulties learning the language too but I have no choice but to learn otherwise they would sell me if I don't understand...LOLZ...(besides I really have to learn since my hub speaks the language well and my relatives)But I am grateful with your video...My hub is not a patient teacher so I have to learn on my own...My main language is tagalog and english...I actually needed someone to teach me how to speak Cebuano...
Hi there! Nice video. Visayan is actually a language subgroup, composed of roughly three dozen related languages. Despite this, some of the languages in this group, Cebuano most notably, are called Visaya/Bisaya by their speakers. Other Visayan languages are Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Kinaray-a, and Tausug.
Bikol is not a Visayan language. It's a language subgroup of its own, albeit smaller with 3 main languages.
Along with Tagalog, Bikol & Visayan are Central Philippine languages.
Right after I made Part 1 my computer crashed! It won't be up and running till the first week in Oct. Meanwhile I go to the public library to make replies to comments. :=\
dunno, lol. he wrote the book we used. i don't really understand teachers from main (i go to san carlos, and there is a distinct difference of behavior and personality between teachers from the main campus and the talamban campus.)
but i think that he was telling the facts - san carlos has a cebu history and cebu culture museum in the main campus.
you sound perfectly cebuano.. this is my first language ever! my father is bisaya,but i forgot bisaya a little bit but i can still speak it. (diin ka gikan) is deep bisaya. you can also say "asa ka gikan?" or "aha ka gikan"
maayong buntag is usually shortened to just mayng buntag /maing/. you'll find cebuanos like to shorten their words. a lot.
and if it's someone you haven't seen for a long time, you add naman- so kumusta ka? becomes musta naman ka?
there are also a lot of alternatives to 'where are you going'? you can use 'asa ka padung'? or where are you headed to. and then 'asa ka gikan'? for where were you before this. a lot of people also add 'diay' after 'asa'
scratch the 'asa ka gikan' - i sometimes type before i think. 'diin ka gikan' is correct.
another more polite way to leave before someone else would be to say 'uie, mauna sa ku,' which roughly translates into 'hey, i have to leave before you.' there's a japanese statement like it - only i forget it.
but this is a pretty good start for those just learning the language. my advice is probably just for those who want to get their accent down right.
one last tip would be to mention that cebuano only has three vowel sounds, to help them get the pronunciation right.
it's great that this sort of thing is here. generally speaking, cebuano is the largest spoken dialect in the philippines - most of visayas, and parts of luzon and mindanao.
they only based Filipino on tagalog because it is more structured than cebuano.
Tagalog was used as a national language because most of the political leaders during Quezon's time were mostly from Luzon and from southern tagalog, not because it is more structured. My mother is Boholana and my father was a stage drama writer in Cebu and my kid's born and grow-up in southern tagalog.
Bulacan ,Rizal,Cavite, Batangas, Manila, Laguna ,and Quezon, they have differences. Tagalog and Cebuano has no big difference in grammar rules. By the way Filipino Dictionary still expanding.
Awesome Job Bud! Spot on! You definitely have THE EAR for the nitty grittiness of accents. I'm a Cebuano doing North American English voice overs/acting for a living! lol =)
(continuation of the comment below) It's a matter of preference and what part of the Visayas the speaker is from but the above translations are all mutually intelligible to a native speaker of Cebuano.
The 11 year old is right about when ending a sentence with "ako" it becomes "ko." Sige, adto na ko. :-) Thanks for the language lessons. I enjoyed your videos.
You used "dinhi" and "dinha" correctly. What the 11 year old below is not aware of is there are several ways to say "there" and "here" in Cebuano. "Diha" and "dinha" are used when the speaker is talking of a place that's near him while "didto" is used when talking of a place that's far from the speaker. "Diadto" is also another way of saying "there." "Here" can be translated as "diri," "dinhi," "nganhi" or "ngari."
Your pronunciation of Cebuano is very good. You are right on about the part on how Cebuanos greet each other. I do it all the time even though I don't really care where the person's going or where he's been. :-)
Well, I see I'm not getting any positive comments about this Cebuano video, so, if it's not beneficial to anyone. I'll just delete this video. So much for learning Cebuano. Oh well. I'll wait one week, then, onto the chopping block.... Swahili, anyone?
Bicolano is not Visayan. At least the largest of the Bicolano laguages is not Visayan. There are some languages spoken in Bicolandia that are Visayan but they have few speakers. Also, "Visayan" is not technically a language. To a linguist the term "Visayan" is like saying "Romantic" or "Semitic." Cebuano is known as "Visayan" because it is the language spoken throughout central Visayas and Mindanao (with the most number of native speakers).
don take this the wrong way (since im only like 11) but u got a few errors. First, end any sentence that ends with ako with ko (and ka for ikaw). second, imjust thinking this forigve me if im wrong, but there is didto and here is diri. well thats all i got thanks for listening! By the way, yes im an 11 year old bisaya
does tagalog originate from cebuano? i watched the video and saw some similar words. Are many words similar? or are they completely different languages? thanks! great work.
I kinda think, like Spanish, Italian, French and the other "romanitic" language came from Latin, it seems a lot of the languages in the Philippines have a lot of commonalities.
very nice :)

I think it is...I have difficulties learning the language too but I have no choice but to learn otherwise they would sell me if I don't understand...LOLZ...(besides I really have to learn since my hub speaks the language well and my relatives)But I am grateful with your video...My hub is not a patient teacher so I have to learn on my own...My main language is tagalog and english...I actually needed someone to teach me how to speak Cebuano...

Sir it's Mindanao...Not Mendanao...And the visayan language is called HILIGAYNON...
imhappiernow21 3 years ago
Yes, I mispelled it. You're right. Mendanao and it's called Hiligaynon, not Visayan. Thanks for your helpful comments. Was anything I said correct?

Matay bay! hawod pa man ka mobisaya kaysa sa akoa! Syalan gud tawon nang imong abilidad...
puwede ba nga ihubad ni sa pinulungang English?
"Ang kabus ug adunahan managsama ra, apan bintaha gyud kung duna kay kwarta"
PS: Daku pod ug luna ang pinulungang Cebuano diri sa amoa sa Mindanao, ilabi na diri sa Davao Province ug Compostela Valley.

Hi there! Nice video. Visayan is actually a language subgroup, composed of roughly three dozen related languages. Despite this, some of the languages in this group, Cebuano most notably, are called Visaya/Bisaya by their speakers. Other Visayan languages are Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Kinaray-a, and Tausug.
Bikol is not a Visayan language. It's a language subgroup of its own, albeit smaller with 3 main languages.
Along with Tagalog, Bikol & Visayan are Central Philippine languages.

I should note that in Masbate and parts of Bicol there are Visayan languages which have absorbed a lot of Bikol influence. They are termed "Bisakol."

actually, after someone says "kamusta ka", the response is "ok lang". "Maayo" is ok, but its not proper

dunno, lol. he wrote the book we used. i don't really understand teachers from main (i go to san carlos, and there is a distinct difference of behavior and personality between teachers from the main campus and the talamban campus.)
but i think that he was telling the facts - san carlos has a cebu history and cebu culture museum in the main campus.

you sound perfectly cebuano.. this is my first language ever! my father is bisaya,but i forgot bisaya a little bit but i can still speak it. (diin ka gikan) is deep bisaya. you can also say "asa ka gikan?" or "aha ka gikan"

Thanks for your helpful and kind comments.
MagicMaximo 3 years ago
..first of all it's mIndanao, not mEndanao.
maayong buntag is usually shortened to just mayng buntag /maing/. you'll find cebuanos like to shorten their words. a lot.
and if it's someone you haven't seen for a long time, you add naman- so kumusta ka? becomes musta naman ka?
there are also a lot of alternatives to 'where are you going'? you can use 'asa ka padung'? or where are you headed to. and then 'asa ka gikan'? for where were you before this. a lot of people also add 'diay' after 'asa'
tomoyohime8 3 years ago
scratch the 'asa ka gikan' - i sometimes type before i think. 'diin ka gikan' is correct.
another more polite way to leave before someone else would be to say 'uie, mauna sa ku,' which roughly translates into 'hey, i have to leave before you.' there's a japanese statement like it - only i forget it.
but this is a pretty good start for those just learning the language. my advice is probably just for those who want to get their accent down right.
tomoyohime8 3 years ago
one last tip would be to mention that cebuano only has three vowel sounds, to help them get the pronunciation right.
it's great that this sort of thing is here. generally speaking, cebuano is the largest spoken dialect in the philippines - most of visayas, and parts of luzon and mindanao.
they only based Filipino on tagalog because it is more structured than cebuano.
tomoyohime8 3 years ago
Tagalog was used as a national language because most of the political leaders during Quezon's time were mostly from Luzon and from southern tagalog, not because it is more structured. My mother is Boholana and my father was a stage drama writer in Cebu and my kid's born and grow-up in southern tagalog.
Bulacan ,Rizal,Cavite, Batangas, Manila, Laguna ,and Quezon, they have differences. Tagalog and Cebuano has no big difference in grammar rules. By the way Filipino Dictionary still expanding.

this is what i learned from my filipino 2 teacher last semester.
what you did say is also correct though - i refrain however from commenting on that issue since i would probably sound anti-tagalog if i do.
*is still rejoicing that her painful days of learning tagalog are over*
tomoyohime8 3 years ago
yeah. anyway propably your teacher in Filipino has poor Philippine History background.

'Ilonggo' has 2 g's
most usually say 'adto na ko' or 'muadto na ko'. & snow was right, 'ko' is used instead of 'ako'.
Nice video, lingaw kaayo (very entertaining) :]

(continuation of the comment below) It's a matter of preference and what part of the Visayas the speaker is from but the above translations are all mutually intelligible to a native speaker of Cebuano.
The 11 year old is right about when ending a sentence with "ako" it becomes "ko." Sige, adto na ko. :-) Thanks for the language lessons. I enjoyed your videos.

srry snow ur right. i only half the language. sori. sulti gamai ko.
rszeldafan42 3 years ago
You used "dinhi" and "dinha" correctly. What the 11 year old below is not aware of is there are several ways to say "there" and "here" in Cebuano. "Diha" and "dinha" are used when the speaker is talking of a place that's near him while "didto" is used when talking of a place that's far from the speaker. "Diadto" is also another way of saying "there." "Here" can be translated as "diri," "dinhi," "nganhi" or "ngari."
snow7015 3 years ago
Your pronunciation of Cebuano is very good. You are right on about the part on how Cebuanos greet each other. I do it all the time even though I don't really care where the person's going or where he's been. :-)

Well, I see I'm not getting any positive comments about this Cebuano video, so, if it's not beneficial to anyone. I'll just delete this video. So much for learning Cebuano. Oh well. I'll wait one week, then, onto the chopping block.... Swahili, anyone?

Yeaaaaaaaaaa I wanna learn Swahili :) And more cebuano!

Bicolano is not Visayan. At least the largest of the Bicolano laguages is not Visayan. There are some languages spoken in Bicolandia that are Visayan but they have few speakers. Also, "Visayan" is not technically a language. To a linguist the term "Visayan" is like saying "Romantic" or "Semitic." Cebuano is known as "Visayan" because it is the language spoken throughout central Visayas and Mindanao (with the most number of native speakers).

don take this the wrong way (since im only like 11) but u got a few errors. First, end any sentence that ends with ako with ko (and ka for ikaw). second, imjust thinking this forigve me if im wrong, but there is didto and here is diri. well thats all i got thanks for listening! By the way, yes im an 11 year old bisaya
rszeldafan42 3 years ago
wow, thanks for your comments. It'll be interesting to hear comments from other Cebuano speakers.

does tagalog originate from cebuano? i watched the video and saw some similar words. Are many words similar? or are they completely different languages? thanks! great work.
Herrmorbid 3 years ago
I kinda think, like Spanish, Italian, French and the other "romanitic" language came from Latin, it seems a lot of the languages in the Philippines have a lot of commonalities.
