Asian Language Resources at the Library
Hello! It's been a while since I've updated this blog. I have been busy attending the FREE Tagalog class at the Main Library, which runs until Filipino Pride Day in October. This is the first Tagalog class I've ever heard of in Jacksonville and classes are currently closed to new students, so if you would like to attend one in the future, please contact the Main Library at (904) 630-2665.
If you want to learn on your own, there are books in many different languages you can use to practice the language you are learning.
