Basic Tagalog for Foreigners and Non-Tagalogs (Tuttle Language Library)Basic Tagalog for Foreigners and Non-Tagalogs (Tuttle Language Library) by Paraluman S. Aspillera
Buy used from: $0.03
THE BEST BOOK (I have found) if you want to learn EVERYTHING about Tagalog. Lots of info...A little complicated at times and hard to read. Only thing that I would change about this book is that the questions/exercises for each chapter do no have answers included. There is a comprehensive test at the end of the book and they do provide answers for that.

This is useful to gain a broader vocabulary...but the only problem I had with it is that if you want to learn daily conversational Tagalog, many of the words on the CDs will not be extremely useful.

I think learning the verbs in Tagalog is one of the hardest parts of the language...changing the tense on the verbs is DIFFICULT...
