Title: a good grammar book of Tagalog
Review: This is a good grammar book with straightforward explanations. Although almost 40 years old, I think it is still the best book on the market at the present moment. My only caveat is that the author does not know how to use the accent system of Tagalog, a suprising thing from someone teaching the language. For instance "child" is spelt báta' whereas it should be spelt batà or bátà; "nothing" is written wala instead of wal (last syllable stressed and closed by the glottal stop), etc. Also accents are not used systematically, many sentences are left without accents. Imagine a similar book about Czech, French, Spanish without their accents!
