In Filipino (or Tagalog) we say it as "Maligayang Pasko". "Maligaya" meaning Merry and "Pasko" meaning Christmas. But just like Daimashin, people in my country just greet each other Merry Christmas, we rarely say Maligayang Pasko nowadays (even our grandparents). :grin:

Same thing with me, maybe we're from the same country? Anyway, I started learning English as my second language since elementary days (I think even in kindergarten?) up to college. Most subjects like Math and Science are being taught in English. At home we talk in "semi" to full English. :grin: I was able to learn Spanish too in college for 4 semesters (as a school requirement) and now I'm interested to learn Mandarin as my husband is Chinese and all my kids are studying in a Chinese school and they are always teasing me when I try to speak Mandarin. :cry:

Hi I'm Eppie from Manila and I'm interested to learn how to converse in Mandarin. :confused: I'm not sure how I can learn it from this forum as we can only communicate here thru posts. But I'm still hopeful to find something interesting here that can help me with my learning goals. Also looking forward in meeting members from other countries. :grin: Mabuhay!
