Hi, I’m Val Chaneco.
I create, write, and help people learn Tagalog.
Each week, I write two emails.
Tagalog Tuesdays shares bite-sized examples of how Filipinos actually talk in everyday conversations. Meanwhile,
Storytelling Saturdays is a collection of short Tagalog stories. The kind I’d send to my family and friends.
What I'm Working On
- On my YouTube channel, I create videos about the Tagalog language and Filipino culture.
- I teach Tagalog online. It’s where I share the secrets to becoming a Filipino whisperer.
- I write a weekly newsletter called Nosebleed No More, where I share practical information about Tagalog.
Other Stuff
- I’m a former Emirates flight attendant who sometimes wishes she can teleport.
- Over the years, I’ve been many things: a flight attendant, a yoga teacher, an MBA student, an entrepreneur, a Tagalog coach, and a YouTuber.
- In 2020, I founded a company called Feelings Coffee. Some videos on Feelings’ Instagram page are in Tagalog. Have a look!
- I made this website with my friend’s guidance. He and WordPress are teaching me to be more patient.
- While cruising at 30,000 feet, I saw lightning below, instead of above. That was magical.
