You grew up hearing Tagalog but never learned to speak it. Tarsier teaches the way the language actually works. Real grammar, real Taglish. Free to start. Tarsier is the Tagalog learning app built around how the language actually works, not bolted on top of a one-size-fits-all engine. . Every lesson is designed for Filipino grammar from the ground up: root words, affixes, verb focus, ang/ng/sa markers, and the Taglish you'll actually hear in real conversation. Whether you grew up hearing Tagalog at home but never learned to speak it, or you're picking it up for the first time, Tarsier walks you through it step by step. FEATURES - Real grammar explained clearly: mag-/nag- conjugations, case markers, verb aspect, root-before-affix progression - Built for heritage learners: the lessons are designed for Filipinos who understand more than they can say - Everyday Tagalog and Taglish, the way it's spoken at home and with friends - Varied exercise types: image matching, sentence building, scenario replies, fill-in-the-blank - Native speaker audio on every word, phrase, and example sentence - Personalized path based on what you already know and why you're learning - Insights: streak calendar, per-lesson accuracy, your fastest and slowest sessions, recall trends - Daily ube energy that refills overnight, plus streaks and XP WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Greetings, introductions, and polite expressions (po/opo) - Family terms, daily-life vocabulary, food, places, time, and emotions - How Tagalog verb conjugation works (kain → kumain, luto → magluto) - Sentence structure, word order, and the ang/ng/sa case markers - Cultural context within each lesson Super Tarsier unlocks unlimited lessons, detailed learning insights, and an ad-free experience.

- All word and phrase audio is now the same female voice at a consistent pace (a few phrases that played in a male voice or at the wrong speed are fixed). - Made the kilig, tampo, and gigil exercises use consistent meanings ("romantic giddiness", "moody sulking", "cute aggression") everywhere. - Fixed picture exercises that showed the question twice. The speech bubble now shows just the word. - The Check button now stays in a consistent position across all exercise types. - Reworked the "naman" greeting-response exercises so you practice noticing "naman" in a sentence. - Corrected and standardized the English meanings shown under Tagalog words across the early lessons. - Fixed several Family-chapter builder exercises that couldn't be completed because the word bank was missing a needed tile. - Long builder answers now wrap onto multiple lines instead of overflowing. - Corrected the grammar of the "I love my spouse / partner" builder cards.
