Neet, someone else who likes Tagalog. I abolutely adore it too, even though i've forgotten almost all of it. I just think it has a nice mix of sounds, not too soft, not too hard. And the varying stress on a lot of words gives it livelyness. I really wish my school had a Tagalog program. Although, i have to cut it some slack, it's only 6 years old (though such a program is an eventual reality). I did take a summer long intensive course through the Monterey Institute of International Studies, which was very good.
