Salamat Jona! you are the best Bisaya teacher on line. Expressing the mood, context and ways each phrase can be applied brings far more meaning than just vocabulary. Every example brings new understanding as to how a phrase can be used in a situation. It has really helped me as an American when visiting and making local friends in the Visayas. If they struggle in english I can meet them half way and we learn from each other. It helps me show respect;… that I just dont expect everyone in my host country to cater to my language but I want to try to speak theirs; as feeble as it may be. 😅. When I get it right the reaction is priceless - relief and laughter of what came out of this foriener.😅. Im sure my American accent sounds funny too but it all helps rapport. If I stay there more than a couple months my local friends say I could be fluent and that would be fun.
Love your lessons Jonah and i suggest them to anyone trying to learn. Jonah can you do a lesson on counting money and telling time please?? It would be so helpful
Please never stop Jonah you are appreciated. My parents are from Cebu and I always wanted to be fluent. I am now in the hospital and have come across so many Bisaya speakers I never wanted to be fluent so bad in my life. Thank you for your help ❤
This is very well explained and presented. I've been living in Surigao for many years but haven't learned Bisaya as it seems very difficult. I would like to make an effort to learn it and I think your channel can help me. Thanks very much.
Hello, Jona and THANK YOU for these lessons. I am brand new and wanted to know how should I begin learning to eventually become fluent? Do I start by learning numbers, days of the week, animals etc? Or do I start with sentence structure? I just don’t know in what order I should begin watching your videos to learn properly? Do I buy children’s bisaya books and start reading them?
My wife has been teaching me bisaya.. A phrase I use every day is gwapa ka Kung mo tuwad 😂😂.. Tuwad na momma.. Gusto ko jerjer 😂😂😂😂... Honestly the bad words make it easy to remember the rest.
Hello Jonah, I really like your videos. I only have the problem that there is so much new vocabulary in each lesson that I can't remember it. I would have to write it down but normally when I watch your videos I'm sitting on a sofa or lying in bed have no motivation to find a notebook and a pen. I think it would be a good idea to only explain one word or phrase every day. I think I could easily remember one new word or phrase every day. It could be a short video. That way you could also publish a new video every day which would help grow your channel. I would also definetely watch it every day. You would probably have a lot of regular viewers which is very crucial for channel growth on RUclips. That is just my piece of advice

Hello. This is great. Is there any audio that you can practice while driving in the car?
Please tell us a lot of commonly used buzzwords in the Philippines🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ganahan kaayo ko sa imong mga videos diri sa Bisaya Classroom, Jonah! Daghang Salamat!

Yes thank you so much …. Your lessons really really help…. I’ve gotten better…. I will be living in Mindanao and truly a blessing you are doing this
Wonderful!
Thank-you so very much. I'm American living in Cebu and loving it. A permanent resident now, and your lessons are such a big help in my learning Bisaya.
Salamat ❤
You are very welcome
it's that your new video? Oh that's your new video 😅
My wife is wondering what province you are from. She is from Surigao Del Norte. I am learning Bisaya for her and my in laws. 🙂
In Japan the pinky is do you have a girlfriend and the thumb is do you have a boyfriend. That is interesting in many cultures.
I am starting my journey salamat
Great🎉
Hi Jonah. Do you have private lessons? Thank you!
hey, this is my first time trying to learn a different language, I'm fully Aussie and I have no idea how to start. Do you have any tips?
Well for me mate, I met a local Phillipina ..(we've been back to Mindinao). ... Pinoy love talking dirty... They will teach you all the dirty words and sentences first. We joked that if I got lost I can flirt but couldn't feed myself. Bisaya is an easy language to learn but our English brain makes it hard. Jona's videos are really really good but you need to start with yes / no (OO - Dili) thanks / Salamat etc. You'll get there.
Do you teach BisayA to individuals?
I think I made a mistake.
My friend say
Nasuko ka?
I say
Dili nasuko ko.
I try to say
I am not angry.
They was confused.
They say I'm buang 😆 🤣
I thought wait is "Huwat" not "Hulat". I guess both are correct.
Hi teacher, do you accept private tutoring? thanks.
The need change google translate ,it give for most words a GI before it GI ,like tired it translate gikapoy ,hungry it translate GiGutum or is there a meaning that the put the GI in front?
If "I love you." is "Gehegugma ko Ikaw"
then "I miss you" should be "Gimingaw ko ikaw"??
Why do you change ikaw to nimo ?
Maayong Gabii Jona. Salamat po for the lessons. i am learinig alot and my filipina is impress she ask who is teaching me po. are you familiar by chance with Illongo dialect?
Yes but I am not fluent of it so I can’t teach it too.
@@bisayaclassroombyjonah3891
Daghan Salamat po.
Teacher Jona, teach us how to use "bitaw" "gani" "lage" and moreee palihugggg
maayong adlaw. mag ask lang po ako maam ano po meaning ng "mao" or pano sya gamitin in conversations. daghang salamat po.
Mao means right.
You can use it as a reply like you agree on something.
It is hard.
Right- mao
It was so scary there.
Oh really?
Mao ba?
Sorry. I can't see the words they're too small and you talk too fast
Why don’t you space out your words and enunciate each one. You blend a sentence into 1 word. So hard to follow n understand.
Really? I thought this was a good teaching
@ this is my 4th month here in PH, people whisper and mumble. I constantly have to ask them to space word out and enunciate them.
Thanks!
