Family, work, hobbies, feelings, and social questions
0:00–0:10 Welcome and warm-up: greet classmates in Tagalog, ask “Kumusta ka?” meaning “How are you?”, and answer with simple feelings such as “Mabuti” = “Good,” “Masaya” = “Happy,” “Pagod” = “Tired,” and “Okay lang” = “Just okay.”
0:10–0:25 Pronunciation focus: practice stress and clear vowel sounds in family and social words, including “pamilya” = “family,” “nanay” = “mother,” “tatay” = “father,” “kapatid” = “sibling,” “trabaho” = “work,” “hilig” = “hobby/interest,” and “kaibigan” = “friend.” Include listen-and-repeat, choral repetition, and individual volunteer practice.
0:25–0:45 Vocabulary set 1: family and relationships. Teach “pamilya” = “family,” “nanay/ina” = “mother,” “tatay/ama” = “father,” “anak” = “child,” “kapatid” = “sibling,” “kuya” = “older brother,” “ate” = “older sister,” “lolo” = “grandfather,” “lola” = “grandmother,” “asawa” = “spouse,” and “kaibigan” = “friend.” Model respectful use of “po” and “opo” when speaking with elders.
0:45–1:00 Grammar in accessible terms: introduce simple describing patterns. “Ito ang pamilya ko” = “This is my family.” “Mayroon akong kapatid” = “I have a sibling.” “Wala akong kapatid” = “I do not have a sibling.” Explain that Tagalog word order may feel different from English, so learners should focus on useful sentence frames rather than translating word-for-word.
1:00–1:10 Short break.
1:10–1:25 Vocabulary set 2: work, daily roles, hobbies, and activities. Teach “trabaho” = “work/job,” “estudyante” = “student,” “guro” = “teacher,” “nars” = “nurse,” “opisina” = “office,” “bahay” = “home,” “nag-aaral ako” = “I study,” “nagtatrabaho ako sa…” = “I work at/in…,” “mahilig ako sa…” = “I like/am interested in…,” “musika” = “music,” “pagkain” = “food,” “palakasan” = “sports,” “pagbabasa” = “reading,” and “paglalakad” = “walking.”
1:25–1:40 Guided reading and listening: instructor reads two short beginner profiles aloud, then learners identify family, work, hobby, and feeling details. Example: “Ako si Ana. Mayroon akong isang kapatid. Nagtatrabaho ako sa opisina. Mahilig ako sa musika. Masaya ako ngayon.” Translation: “I am Ana. I have one sibling. I work in an office. I like music. I am happy today.”
1:40–1:58 Pair interview and speaking practice: learners ask and answer 4–5 questions with a partner using a support sheet. Required questions include “Sino ka?” = “Who are you?/What is your name?”, “Kumusta ka?” = “How are you?”, “Mayroon ka bang kapatid?” = “Do you have a sibling?”, “Saan ka nagtatrabaho o nag-aaral?” = “Where do you work or study?”, and “Ano ang hilig mo?” = “What is your hobby/interest?” Instructor circulates to provide pronunciation and sentence-frame support.
1:58–2:00 Assignment briefing and exit check: explain Assignment 7: Family, Work, and Social Profile. Learners state one new sentence aloud before leaving, such as “Mahilig ako sa musika” = “I like music” or “Ito ang pamilya ko” = “This is my family.”
Requirements
Learners should bring class notes, a notebook or digital writing device, and access to the course vocabulary handout. Instructor should provide a family/work/hobbies vocabulary sheet, short profile reading samples, pair-interview prompts, and the Assignment 7 instructions. No prior Tagalog fluency is expected.
