Review: Ang galing ni Carl Rubino - Great dictionary. Entertaining at points and easy to follow. I haven't spoken Filipino/Tagalog since I was a little boy and I hope to reacquaint myself with this great language in 2014. I think this book will be extremely useful for that. p.s. Potential buyers should know it helps to have at least some familiarity with Tagalog when using this dictionary. For example, the translation for "opo" is "yes sir", which is right. However, someone brand-new to the language should know that it could also mean, "yes, ma'am". The word "po" and most of the pronouns in Tagalog aren't gender-specific. To me, this is a really minor point considering how useful and easy to use this dictionary is. Hence, five stars. Update August 19, 2019: I now speak a fair amount of Tagalog. This dictionary was and is really useful. However, I think it'd be helpful to supplement this with Google searches because languages of course do change. Also, there may be regional variations. For example, magtaka is defined in this dictionary as to be surprised; however, growing up (I grew up in the US, but my parents spoke Tagalog at home), magtaka meant more like to wonder (about something) (eg, Nagtaka siya kung uulan). We generally used magulat for to be surprised (eg, Nagulat siya kasi umulan). Update October 13, 2019: I recently lost my Tagalog-English/English-Tagalog dictionary to water damage. I'm getting another one as an ebook so I don't have to worry about wear-and-tear or accidents, but unfortunately Carl Rubino's dictionary isn't available on Kindle. Despite some minor flaws, it's a really good dictionary.
Review: vital companion to Pimsler and Rosetta Stone - I'm learning Pili pino using both the Pimsler and Rosetta Stone systems. This dictionary at least partially fills gaps. F'rinstance, many times I want to check what I have heard on the discs. Seeing what I have heard helps me greatly. I appreciate the notes on grammar and orthography. The choice of type face and use of bold type is clear and attractive. My use of the book is currently as superficial as my knowledge of Pilipino but I am confident that my use of this dictionary will increase along with my knowledge.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good dictionary, but another book may be better for beginners
*by C***O on April 16, 2016*

This book is primarily a dictionary that translates words from Tagalog to English (one section) and from English to Tagalog (another section). It also has a brief grammar guide (light on pronunciation), and at the end of the book, a short list of translations of commonly used words and phrases. However, this book is not the best book for someone traveling to the Philippines who wants to learn basic Tagalog quickly, though I am sure the rather extensive dictionary would be good for filling in the gaps from other books or learning further Tagalog beyond the basics.
