I've been using https://www.amazon.com/Tagalog-Beginners-Introduction-Filipino-Philippines/dp/0804841268/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523083003&sr=8-1&keywords=tagalog+beginners & it does have some mixed reviews since it doesn't always explain grammar as well,

but to be honest you can't expect to get everything perfect in a study book these days,so I ordered Essential Tagalog Grammar to supplement it (still waiting for it to arrive so can't comment quite yet) along with a dictionary,etc but i think it'd be a decent starting point? at 14$ (it has a 7hr audio cd)

There's also Complete Filipino (Tagalog): A Teach Yourself Guide from the teach yourself series but I don't own it/don't plan on buying it (it's 48$, and I own other teach yourself books,the structure is the same,not sure if i'd want that for filipino)

Hope this sort of helped & if anyone can add to this,i'd much appreciate it aswell

Not Filipino but I've been learning Tagalog via my girlfriend and her friends whilst also various other sources for self-study recently so might have some useful advice.

The Unilang site was good as a quick crash course. I've made an Anki course of the words found there if you are interested titled "Tagalog for Beginners" and am working on a more robust and detailed deck (though that is far from complete).

The Joi Barros book "Tagalog for Beginners" is probably the best traditional book I've found but since there is a huge amount of code-switching in modern Tagalog/Filipino there is always the issue that it teaches pure Tagalog which might not sound the most natural or even be necessary.

In my experience, what I've noticed is that verbs, pronouns, identifiers and prepositions are the most important to learn initially as a lot of English nouns can be used without any issue.

I would suggest first find the best learning approach for you. I would mix in writing, speaking, and vocabulary. I would start by having your Stepmom or girlfriend go through all letter sounds as they are tricky. You cannot really learn Tagalog until you understand how they pronounce and when you see Tagalog words you sound them out. Next getting a book that explains grammar you learn it through writing as I have found this works for me Tagalog for Beginners: An Introduction to Filipino, the National Language of the Philippines (MP3 Audio CD Included) . Then speaking this can be done with Girlfriend or Stepmom or what I preferred at first using Pimsleur or any way you find appropriate. Then adding in App either Drops, Ling or Vocly. I would use all three combined every day. Just understand mistakes are common and keep working on it every day and you will get better every day.

Well, I'm still in the process of learning of course, but I picked up a few books that were helpful:
