70 hours.
Yes, that's about how long I've been hearing Filipino. Over the last 3 days.
I think it's important to get the ear really open up to hear and distinguish the various sounds of Filipino – the words, the pronunciation, the accentuation. The way I'm doing this is through massive listening. I found this method when I came across AJATT (All Japanese All The Time) one day.
I have podcasts, movies, teleserye, music going on the background all the time. This constant state of hearing Filipino has helped significantly. I now notice many more words in the language than I could 3 days ago. I expect this to continue throughout the weeks, months, and years that I spend in the language.
Where do I get these resources to create this environment?
For music, I use Spotify. I have made a playlist of all the Filipino songs I know and continually add ones that I come across if I like them. I always thumbs down the English songs when Spotify tries to interfere with its lousy algorithm.
For movies, I have a couple that I bought a while ago. So far they are My Big Love (Toni Gonzaga and Sam Milby) and Every Breath U Take (Angelica Panganiban and Piolo Pascual). I should probably get new ones. Eventually...
For news and teleserye, I use the TFC app. At this point I'm getting addicted to Pusong-Ligaw as I'm finding the subplots interesting. I always watch TV Patrol for the news.
As I end this post, "Huli Na Ang Lahat" by Silent Sanctuary just came on so I'll have a listen to that. Ingat!
