Riza Santos And PBB Tagalog 101

Ruben called Will for the start of their morning Tagalog lesson. The Komedyanteng Promdi showed the True Lover a stack of cards, each having a Tagalog word written on them. All the word meanings ranged from basic to profound, like the words “karagatan,” “palikuran,” and “humahalimuyak.” For every flash card, Ruben first gave sample sentences to give Will an idea on the meaning of each word. After that, Will had to come up with his own sentence using the given word. Ruben had to make sure though that Will is using the word in the right context and tense. Will went through a tough lecture, especially when he encountered the words “paglaganap,” “himpapawid,” and “pakikipagtunggali.”

But after giving all his best efforst and noticing that his student had made a little progress, Ruben decided to take a lunch break. The time then came for Will to put his learning to the test as he had to pass on the lessons to Riza. The True Lover was caught off guard, however, since he could barely recall all the Tagalog words and their exact meanings. It was impressive to hear that the Desirable Diva can speak some comprehensive Tagalog, but the challenge for her was to get familiar with the words as profound as “bumabagabag,” “nagbabadya,” and “nakagayak.” Riza had her share of lapses, but since Will was still a fresh learner, the smalls errors remained uncorrected.

Then came Riza’s turn to teach the words to Jon. Unfortunately, all the words escaped the mind of the Desirable Diva like dusts in the wind, hence, Riza hastily went back to the flash cards and the dictionary for a refresher. When the time came for Riza to explain the words one by one, she had her own interpretation of the words, different from what Ruben originally taught to Will. Riza came to Ruben and the other housemates for help a number of times, and Kuya had to remind her that she was not allowed to get help anymore. This resulted in Jon becoming more confused with the words on the cards. In one instance, it was even the English Outcast who reminded the Canadian beauty of the meaning of “nakagayak.”
