Actually, my school, back in the Philippines, taught me Tagalog. But I think my parents taught me, first, Tagalog.

My parents are Chinese. My dad doesn't speak it very well so they never tought me any. It was my granny who tought me Cantonese. I learnt Mandarin from Mandarin dubbed Korean dramas.

My parents are from the Philippines and they've never taught me any Tagalog.
Yet, I can speak it as if I were a fob. It's just something I picked up naturally. |

My parents both have different native languages, but they both speak Vietnamese often, they never taught me, but I guess I sort of "picked it up" from hearing it so much.
