The Tuttle Story: “Books to Span the East and West”
Most people are surprised to learn that the world’s largest publisher of books on Asia had its humble beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The company’s founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing. And his first love was naturally books—especially old and rare editions.
Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry. He later founded the Charles E. Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the world’s leading independent publishers.
Though a westerner, Tuttle was hugely instrumental in bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East. By the time of his death in 1993, Tuttle had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture, history and art—a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the “Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese.
With a backlist of 1,500 titles, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time in its past—inspired by Charles Tuttle’s core mission to publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.

Introduction
Tara, mag-Tagalog tayo! Come on, let’s speak Tagalog!
This student workbook is intended to be used in conjunction with the textbook Elementary Tagalog. It contains grammar exercises that are designed to reinforce learning and assist you in mastering the forms and structures introduced in the textbook. The exercises follow the same organization by unit and lesson as in the textbook, and together they should help you to focus more closely on accuracy in your handling of Tagalog grammar.
In addition to grammar exercises, listening and reading comprehension exercises are provided to help you develop aural and reading skills. These exercises are similarly anchored in the unit themes and subtopics. They are designed to promote the acquisition of high-frequency vocabulary pertaining to common everyday topics—the vocabulary you need in order to have an ordinary conversation. The audio files for the listening texts, each 45 seconds to 2 minutes long, are contained on the audio CD that accompanies the Elementary Tagalog textbook.
Typically, each lesson in the workbook includes one vocabulary exercise, one conjugation practice, three to four grammar practices, one reading practice, one editing activity, two listening exercises, and one translation activity. Each activity targets different aspects of the grammatical forms that are presented and explained in the textbook. Practice is an indispensable element in the mastering a foreign language. An essential supplement to classroom instruction, this student workbook is a valuable tool for individualized instruction and practice.
An answer key is provided at the back of the workbook.
