A. Have you looked at the Magbinisaya Kita Primer 1? I've read and recommended this book to my friends who want to learn Cebuano. It is indeed a good way to start learning Cebuano. There are a lot of free resources out there too for Cebuano Learning. Take a look below for some resources that I frequent.

Can Cebuano speakers understand Ilonggo and vise versa?
Q. Are they related?
Asked by Lucas Einstein - Sat Mar 29 13:36:57 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Cebuano is a different dialect from Ilonggo since most who speak Ilonggo are natives of Ilo-ilo while those who can speak Cebuano may come from other places in Visayas and Mindanao. They can comprehend each other because their dialect is somehow related. The major difference between the two is their accent.

A. ANG is a form of pronoun used in Cebuano and Bisaya. It is used in reference to a particular noun or noun phrase. For example: Ang iya ginpanghimo (his activities) Ang ako higugma (my love) Ang imo plano (your plan) SA, on the other hand, is often used for direction. In English, it can mean more like a "for" or "there". Example: Sa ila bayay (in their house) Sa amo nasod (in our city) Sa tindahan ni Nena (in Nena's store) --- There are instances, however, that the two may be used confusingly like: Sa among plano (in our plan) Ang amo plano (our plan) In the first example, notice that "sa" is used as an adjective directing to "plan".

Q. "If you have time just email me nalang..." The sentence is ended with "nalang" I think this is either tagalog or cebuano, but im not sure of its meaning.
Asked by Angailty - Thu Feb 7 13:38:07 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. 'nalang' is not a Cebuano word. It was not properly written. The correct way is 'na lang' (with a space between letter 'a' and letter 'l' which means 'just' or something pertaining to an only person or thing' - i.e. "Just e-mail me." The longer version is "na lamang" which is the proper Tagalog. ('lang' is the shortened version of 'lamang'.) Other uses: "Ako na lang." - Let me be the one. "Siya na lang ang pumunta." - Let her be the one to go. "Ito na lang ang natitira." - This is the only one left.
