Online Filipino-English Dictionary

Some school subjects require papers to be written exclusively in Filipino, some in English. The problem is that as a student, you most likely have both languages in your brain. Gersam.com has an online Filipino-English dictionary that can help you find the appropriate translations.

It's not perfect, though, because not all Filipino words have a direct translation in English, and vice versa. But this site provides "Alternate Words" at least, which can help you find a good-enough substitute.

If you can afford it, though, do get yourself a nice, thick Filipino-English dictionary from the nearest bookstore. It's just handy.

*UPDATE: Looks like Gersam.com has been down lately. You can check out the Tagalog Dictionary instead, which provides not just the definitions of words, but also related words. This is worth a bookmark!
