I think the interest came to my mind after my visit to the Philippines three years ago. The Tagalog was, in my mind, a complex, fast, and a very...fascinating language.
During my stay at Alabang, I visited some of the popular tourist attractions like Festival Mall, Alabang Town Centre, and the Palms Country Club. The Filipinos around there were very friendly and courteous. I could understand them (since they speak English very well), but they have a tendency of speaking Tagalog half-way...which, left me confused.
It was after my one month visit to the Philippines that I decided to learn an Asian language.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
