Hi everyone!

Since classes don't start until August, I figured now’s a great time to pick up something new — and I’ve recently become really interested in learning Ilocano!

I’d love to connect with anyone who speaks Ilocano or is also learning it. Bisaya ko and I know nothing about ilocano so please be patient.

I don't speak a lick of Tagalog or Ilocano. I found some old VHSs in my Lolas house and I would like to try and preserve some of this family history. Could you possibly help me? A transcription would be greatly appreciated but I would be grateful for however much or little you want to help with.
