In need to learn Tagalog.
My native language is English whilst French being my second language. I am currently in the need to learn Tagalog as I have a Filipino girlfriend and I want to surprise her by showing her that I learned her native language.

I am extremely good at learning languages (I know French, quite a lot of Spanish, some Dutch, Russian and a bit of German). I also have a vocabulary of about 20-50 words in Tagalog and I can now construct basic sentences such as (I am or You are).

I am in need of any studying tips/partners/etc to help me learn Tagalog. My goal is to be able to understand a conversation/have a conversation in about 2-4 months time. I think that if I dedicate about 1-2 hours per day and listen to language tapes/podcasts/etc, I can achieve this goal.

Any help is appreciated.

Language pair: Filipino (Tagalog); English
