🇵🇭 Tagalog — Day 7 Module
Don't study the answers before taking the test! Try each section from memory first, then check your answers.

- Greet someone appropriately for morning, afternoon, and evening
- Use basic polite expressions with 'po' and 'opo'
- Introduce yourself, your origin, and your residence without notes
- Ask basic personal and transactional questions
- Count and recognize numbers from 1–20
- Deliver a 60-second spoken survival introduction without reading
- Identify any personal focus areas needing reinforcement before Week 2
⏱️ Your 30-Minute Daily Schedule
1. ⏱️ 0–5 Min — Warm-Up Review: Unscripted Production
Start by speaking without looking at your notes. Vocalize each part out loud with clear Filipino vowel sounds and natural stress:
Vocal Warmup Exercises
Kumusta? • Magandang umaga po • Magandang hapon po • Magandang gabi po • Salamat po • Walang anuman • Paalam po
Ako si _____ • Taga-_____ ako • Nakatira ako sa _____
Ano? • Sino? • Saan? • Kailan? • Bakit? • Paano? • Magkano? • Ilan?
Speak each set once slowly focusing on clean vowels (A, E, I, O, U), then at normal conversational speed without hesitation.
You should recognize and vocalize most of these immediately, rather than translating them word-by-word.
