🇵🇭 Tagalog — Day 84 Module
In Filipino culture, family (pamilya) is central to identity and community. On Day 84, you will learn how to introduce family members with pride and affection. You will master family hierarchy titles (nanay, tatay, kapatid, ate, kuya), describe personalities (mabait, masaya, masipag), explain their occupations and current locations (nasa trabaho, nasa bahay), and deliver an engaging 1–2 minute family introduction.

- State what family members do for work or school
- State their current locations using 'nasa bahay' and 'nasa trabaho'
- Deliver a 1–2 minute spoken family showcase without notes
