Anyone lower intermediate Bisaya (Cebuano) wants to improve together with me?

    I lived in Negros Oriental for a year, learned quite a wee bit of Bisaya, but in the last year and a half it's started to wear off a bit. Anyone looking to kindle or rekindle Bisaya? If so you're in the same boat as me! Let me know, and we can do something.

    Cheers,

    Tom.

    Visayan dialect! sounds music to my ears! I love to sing Matud nila!

    I lived in Cebu for 8 months, can understand them a bit, but could not speak the dialect! :frust:

    Song lyrics to Matud Nila:

    Matud nila ako dili angay
    Nga magmanggad sa imong gugma,
    Matud nila ikaw dili malipay,
    Kai wa akoy bahanding nga kanimo igasa.

    Gugmang putli mao day pasalig
    Maoy bahanding labaw sa bulawan
    Matud nila kaanugan lamang
    Sa imong gugma ug parayeg.

    Dili maluba kining pagbati
    Bisan sa unsa nga katarungan
    Kay unsa pay bili ning kinabuhi
    Kon sa gugma mo hinikawan

    Ingna ko nga dili ka motuo
    Sa mga pagtamay kong naangkon
    Ingna no nga dili mo kawangon
    Damgo ko'g pasalig sa gugma mo.

    :kiss:
