Filipino Vowels A, E, I, O, U
Teaching Filipino Vowels for Foreigners
Filipino (Tagalog) has 5 vowels: A, E, I, O, U.
The biggest advantage for learners is that each vowel has only ONE sound—no confusing variations like in English.
1. Sound
A = ah (father)
E = eh (bed)
I = ee (see)
O = oh (go)
U = oo (food)
2. Simple, Familiar Wordsh
A – ama (father)
E – mesa (table)
I – isda (fish)
O – oras (time)
U – ulan (rain)
3. In Filipino, vowels always sound the same, no matter where they are.
ba, ka, sa, la → always “ah”
bi, li, si → always “ee”
4. Practice with Syllables (Very Important)
Use BA-BE-BI-BO-BU style drills:
ba – be – bi – bo – bu
ma – me – mi – mo – mu
5. Mini Speaking Practice
mama
baba
susi (key)
tubo (water pipe)
“Tagalog sounds musical because vowels are clear and evenly spoken.” 💛
