Uses Out of Date Tagalog
I wanted to surprise my wife by learning a few new phrases in her native language so I got the book. She was pleasantly surprised on the first day and as the week went by wanted to know where I learned my new phrases. I gave her the book and as she looked through it she was shaking her head. She informed me that a lot of the phrases were "old fashioned", that modern Philippinos would not say things that way, only her grandfather's generation would. I had her give me a percent and she stated about 1/3 of the book seemed to be "outdated". She was not impressed with the book at all but at least I got few things out of it.
