Learn Tagalog: Filipino Words
Vocabulary, phrases & drills
$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Version 3.0 is a complete rebuild: 259 words across 19 categories, 80 everyday phrases, and spaced repetition that brings each word back right before you forget it.
Learn Tagalog is a straightforward way to build real Filipino vocabulary — the words and phrases you actually need, taught in a way that makes them stick.
Most vocabulary apps show you a word once and move on. This one tracks every word you study and schedules it to come back at the moment you're most likely to forget it. Words you find easy fade into the background. Words you keep missing come back until they don't.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- 259 words across 19 categories — animals, food, family, body, transport, places, colors, numbers, verbs, time, question words, pronouns, opposites, directions, feelings, and more
- 80 everyday phrases in 10 sets — greetings, the market, ordering food, getting around, introductions, small talk, making plans, and asking for help
- Every phrase broken down word by word, so you see how the sentence is actually built rather than memorizing a block of sound
HOW YOU STUDY
Flashcards — browse a category at your own pace, tap to reveal the meaning.
Picture quiz — 126 words are taught with a photograph, so you connect the Tagalog word to the thing itself instead of routing through English.
Review — the words you've studied come back on a schedule. Rate how well you remembered each one and the app adjusts. This is the part that turns studying into remembering.
Progress — a streak counter, per-category completion, and overall accuracy, so you can see what's actually sticking.
BUILT PROPERLY
- Works completely offline — everything is on your device
- No ads
- No account, no sign-up, no email
- Nothing is collected or sent anywhere
- Full VoiceOver support and Dynamic Type
- Light and dark mode, with a manual override if you prefer one
A NOTE ON AUDIO
This version has no pronunciation audio. It teaches reading and recognition — pictures, text, and phrase structure. If hearing native pronunciation is the main thing you're after, this isn't that app yet. Recorded audio is what I'm working on next.
WHO IT'S FOR
Filipinos abroad reconnecting with the language. Partners and in-laws learning to talk with family. Travelers who want more than a phrasebook. Anyone who has tried to learn Tagalog and bounced off apps that teach you to tap the right answer without ever learning the word.
Built in the Philippines.

A REAL REVIEW SYSTEM
The app now remembers what you've studied. Words come back on a spaced schedule based on how well you recalled them, so you spend your time on the ones you actually struggle with. Streaks, per-category progress, and accuracy tracking included.
THREE WAYS TO STUDY
Flashcards for browsing, the picture quiz you know from before, and a new review mode that drills only what's due.
