You'd go apeshit in my house. My wife is constantly talking to her friends and family, or listening to the news, in Tagalog (Filipino).
Only thing that bothers me is that she can't teach me, and she's an educated teacher! I rock at languages, but she's so critical I can't get started.
Yeah, a lot of times becoming teacher/student with someone you already have a different standing with just doesn't work out all that well. If it works then great, but if it doesn't then t's better to just have a different person teach you honestly.
Once I tried to teach my GF at the time something, started talking to her like one of my students, and she absolutely hated the process and rejected it completely. And lo, after talking with some other people because initially I couldn't even tell what happened, I was enlightened.
A teacher can never really teach someone something. Only the student can learn and the teacher can encourage and help when they get stuck. I would learn how to read Tagalog first. It's not too bad, Latin alphabet and all. Look words up at first, ask her once you get better. At that point your awful pronunciation when you ask about a word will compel her into helping you learn the rest. 3. profit
And you probably will have a conversation about why you want to learn Tagalog and if I were you I would focus on being able to communicate with her family and enjoy Filipino media with her. And not that you can't understand her private conversations with her family / friends.
