Lola Rosa · Patient beginner practice for family, home, and caring check-ins.
Meeting the family
Scenario context
You are introduced to an older relative for the first time.
Lola Rosa says
“Kumusta, apo? Kumain ka na?”
How are you, dear? Have you eaten?
Written pronunciation cue only — no exact reviewed recording is available yet.
Offer a warm, respectful first greeting.
Suggested replies are a starting point—not an AI response.
Respect coach
Small words, visible care.
Po adds respect. Opo is a respectful “yes.” With elders, new relatives, and formal moments, both help your words land warmly.
Your Tita asks: “Kumain ka na?” (Have you eaten?)
Household note
Follow your family's language.
Filipino homes may mix Tagalog, English, and regional languages. “Ate,” “Kuya,” “Tita,” and “Tito” are relationship words as much as vocabulary. Listen for what feels natural in your own home.
Regional language notes are cultural prompts, not a claim that every family speaks the same way.
Real-life missions
Do one small thing outside the lesson.
Mark a mission when you rehearse it or use it in your own life. Your next family practice will remember the topic—not a streak.
Say it naturally
Turn a familiar English phrase into Tagalog.
Try “how are you,” “thank you,” or “I'm on my way.” This focused helper complements the reviewed word bank below; it is not an open-ended translator.
