I have a playlist which you can watch if you are interested in seeing (or maybe visiting?) my dear homeplace.  Just check it out here: JOLO, SULU PLAYLIST You can watch this instead:      Yup, that is all for today.   PS. I am mulling over the idea of transferring my blog from blogspot to wordpress...  hmmmmmm

PROJECT TAUSUG 101 RELEASED!


Do you want to learn how to speak in Bahasa Sug (Tausug Language)?
Do you know someone who is a Tausug, and wanted to surprise them by speaking with them in Tausug fluently?
Do you have some words or phrase you want to be translated into Tausug?
Or Are you just someone who will enjoy learning a new Language?

But, too sad there is only a few sites having an easy-to-follow, tutorial on how to learn Bahasa Sug...?

Well, worry no more!

Starting June 2012 (that's tomorrow!), a new site created to cater the need of those who wanted to Learn Bahasa Sug by heart is here! Introducing... "TAUSUG 101: Learning Bahasa Sug" by Anak Iluh. It's finally here! Your one-stop online tutorial site for learning Bahasa Sug--the FUN WAY!.


It's a simple site having the following features:

1) GRAMMAR LESSONS = a series of easy-to-follow, subject-based lessons on Bahasa Sug directly from a homegrown-Tausug from Sulu! You don't have to know a lot of grammar rule and the technical names of those expert linguists, you just have to check these lessons which will be published every Thursdays starting June 2012.

2) BONUS (EXTRA) LESSONS = Informal, non-grammar-related conversational lessons will also be published in this site. Common Tausug terms that would be a must-know for beginners on Tausug conversations like "Asking Questions", "Counting number", "Telling Time and Day", and the like will be posted every Thursdays starting July 2012.

3) TRANSLATIONS = the site would also feature Translation Requests from readers asking "How do say, 'I love you'? or 'I am Handsome' in Tausug?", and the like. Explainations on diferences, proper usage and pronunciations will also e provided to help the learner understand the terms fully.


4) DOWNLOADABLE AUDIO FILES and SUPPLEMENTARY READINGS. Each lesson will be accompanied by Supplementary readings to help the learners train their vocabulary and learning in Bahasa Sug. To add to its touch, audio files for each Tausug terms, emphasizing rules in pronouncing, words and letter transformations will also be included!

5) The best thing for it is, It's for FREE! The author of the site is a no-expert in language teaching but is somehow trying his best to share what he know about his own language. It's certainly made not for earning some peso (although he is really in need of that now, hehe). 

WOW! Learning Bahasa Sug had never been this easy and fun!

So what are you waiting for? Be prepared for a long and exciting journey of learning a new language: the Bahasa Sug of the Tausug People! Grab a friend, prepare your notes, and be ready to learn a new language in no time!

Visit: Tausug 101 for more details.

Salam kasilasa!

Sulu Hidden History: the Spanish-built Walled City

Image
By Ahmad Musahari Free lance Writer anakiluhmd@gmail.com What is the use of knowing the history of other countries if you don't know your own country's? This is my sole impetus of studying little by little the almost-forgotten history of one of the magnificent Sultanate of all seas: the Sulu Sultanate, my homeland of course! But even though my few researches have only reached few results as well, I am still nevertheless excited to share what I have discovered; small pieces of puzzles are parts of a big picture. This blog is about one of my great adventures in finding the remaining historical landmarks in Sulu (even us Tausugs never knew it was there!) Join me, lets explore once more and find out where the smallest WALLED CITY is! (PS: as you can remember, I have blogged about the "Moro Consciousness week" wherein I promised to fill in the entry about the 'walled City' in Sulu. And here it is: a promise is still a promise ;-) link ==================...

The May 1 Tuli Mission

Their group was known as the Muslim Doctors (or M.D.). I went to visit them that day and to my delight, they invited us to join their event last May 1, 2016 at Mahabba Islamic Center in San Andres Bukid, Malate, Manila. I immediately informed the members of UP-Association of Muslim Students (UP-AMS) and Alhamdulillah, 5 of them volunteered to join me. I learned later on that another friend and fellow medical student from another school will also join. First meeting with the MD team I was on ER Duty the night before, and honestly I did not get much sleep before the event. But Alhamdulillah, I was not feeling that sleepy maybe because of the excitement! I met with my members right after my duty and went to the venue where w...
