Live online Baybayin workshop for beginners, on Zoom.

Schedule: all Beginner workshops run Monday to Friday, 5:00–6:30 pm Pacific Time (1 hr 30 min). After checkout we'll email you to confirm your class date, and the Zoom link is emailed before your class. Up to 5 students per class.

Start writing Baybayin, the pre-colonial Tagalog script, from scratch. No experience needed.

• The 17 base characters: 3 vowels and 14 consonants

• Kudlit: the marks that change a consonant's vowel sound (BA, BI, BU)

• The krus-kudlit (virama): how to end a word on a consonant

• Writing by sound, not by English spelling

• Writing your name, surname or favorite Tagalog words

• A short history of Baybayin and why it's called Baybayin, not Alibata

Included download: a printable Beginner reference sheet with all 17 characters and the kudlit, available right after checkout. Bring a pen or marker and paper.

$50 per person, per class.
