I wanna polish my Filipino grammar and build my Filipino vocabulary (because it's a shame naman that I don't speak my native tongue fluently). i'm fil-chi but I'm more fluent in English >.< I was wondering, what books could help me do that? I was thinking: books by Efren Abueg, Edgardo M. Reyes (those are the authors in my HS third year textbooks)..but I can't find them anymore anywhere!

I tried reading Bob Ong's MACARTHUR but it wasn't my thing...so I guess that rules him out.

Ayaw ko rin ng local/native setting. Those settings really depress me! It's very hard to choose Filipino books...because majority of 'em are set in native provinces... I want to read a Filipino book that I could relate to.

And I also DO NOT like the romance books they sell in National Bookstore! (Yung Filipino version ng Mills and Boon!)

Of course, Eli Fili and Noli are out of the question! (Truth is, masyadong malalim yung Tagalog dun para sa akin)
btw, in case it helps, i'm currently 16.

any good books out there to help me learn polish? all my family are polish, as such, but my brother or I were never taught the language.

I have my parents to help me learn, thats fine in terms of practice, but are there any decent books aimed at young people or children?

also, any gcse polish textbooks out there? I was thinking that might be a good basis, and would be aimed at young people.

any further information is appreciated

In my High School we have textbooks for both our German and Spanish classes and they seem to be pretty useful. Are there any Polish textbooks like this that can help teach you polish?

Yes, I am learning independently with a little help from my Polish Dad.
