Lesson 1 · 18 min
Move, eat, drink, and choose
Objective
Recognize a small group of source-listed action and need words without inventing new sentence patterns.
Why it matters
Start with munta (go), datang (arrive or come), mangan (eat), minum (drink), and bisa (want). The phrasebook separately lists Mangailangan kung doktor. for “I need a doctor”; keep that complete phrase together rather than rebuilding it into new examples.
Examples to notice
- •munta — to go
- •mangan — to eat
- •Mangailangan kung doktor. — I need a doctor.

Which written form means “to drink”?
Mark this complete after you can locate one action word and the complete need phrase in the Dictionary.
Lesson 2 · 18 min
Know, understand, give, and take
Objective
Notice source-supported forms for knowing, understanding, giving, and asking for help.
Why it matters
Forman lists balwan for “know something,” intindi for “understand,” and dinan for “give something to someone.” For a complete polite direction request, use the phrasebook example Dala mu ku keta, pakisuyu. (“Take me there, please.”).
Examples to notice
- •balwan — to know something
- •intindi — to understand
- •Dala mu ku keta, pakisuyu. — Take me there, please.

Lesson 3 · 16 min
Open, close, look, listen, and speak
Objective
Recognize written forms for noticing and communicating in daily situations.
Why it matters
This pack uses dictionary headwords: ibusni (open something), sara (close something), lawen (look at something), damdaman (hear or listen), and magsalita (speak). Use them as vocabulary reference points, not as a promise that one generated voice settles how every community says them.
Examples to notice
- •ibusni — to open something
- •damdaman — to hear / listen
- •magsalita — to speak

Lesson 4 · 18 min
Requests, negation, and questions
Objective
Recognize complete polite requests, a source-listed negated response, and common question words.
Why it matters
Keep complete learner-safe examples together: Malyari ke pung lawen ing menu? (“Can I look at the menu, please?”), Metung pa, pakisuyu. (“One more, please.”), and E ke ayintindyan. (“I don’t understand.”). For written question recognition, this pack includes nanu (what), ninu (who), nukarin (where), kapilan (when), makananu (how), and ot (why).
Examples to notice
- •Metung pa, pakisuyu. — One more, please.
- •E ke ayintindyan. — I don’t understand.
