I am trying to learn ilonggo, but there aren't a great amount of resources for learning it online.
Luckily, I live with someone who speaks the language. She is from iloilo & can understand most things but has lost some knowledge from not using the language often. As she is trying to touch up on her knowledge too, she is helping me learn even though my current level is way below her level.
So far, I have been learning basic conversational phrases since my main intention is to talk to other speakers. I have created a document with phrases, usage, and an audio clip of me saying them. So, each time I learn a bit more, we read the phrases to each other (looking at the notes) and the other person answers (with notes until we remember how to respond without notes), then we switch.
Eventually, I'll try to practise a non scripted conversation but I'm obviously not at that level yet. Since we live together I want talk in ilonggo when were at home to keep me familiar, but since my knowledge is so small I can't say much aside from introductions and random words.
So, what can I do to transition into using the language more at home, or is this just something that will come naturally when I've learnt a certain amount, and what else can I be doing to maximise learning with a fairly skilled speaker?
