mahilig din akong magbasa ng novel sa wattpad.. hindi ba masyadog slang ang tagalog sa wattpad for new learners?

Thanks jasmine. I have been looking for something like this. Tbh, all of the resources I use are very pure Tagalog. But when I try to speak to my friends they are like 'what? Nobody uses that word! W just say Englishwoman/taglish word'. Because I already know most English words, it is veya hard then for me to know what worlds are acceptable as tallish words, and tallish seems to be what people speak mostly. 

I agree, if you want to be a serious tagalog student, you need to stay on the correct material. Bit I will try reading some of these stories on watt pad, to become more familiar with the speech patterns and common taglish words

What do you guys think about the Ibong Adarna reading material? I remembered reading this in school back when I was 9. I think this one is more focused on literary Tagalog than colloquial Tagalog. Grammar wise, I think this would be a good recommendation. 'Di ko ngalang alam kong meron pang ganito sa mga schools ngayon.

green you are right.. I don't know some tagalog novels have a grammar error.. maybe it is just a wrting style.. for modern tagalog people likes to invent new term, making a wrong grammar and mixing english and tagalog with a wrong grammar.. 

I have a read a few Tagalog pocket books...including "Diary ng Panget" slang Tagalog and few English sentences mixed in the author's writing throws me off. I am not up to date with modern Tagalog which is hard for me to read.

I am interested in top sellers from nationalbookstore but some of these novels I read have mixed reviews saying it is trash or grammar errors such as "It's Not That Complicated: Bakit Hindi Pa Sasakupin Ng Mga Alien Ang Daigdig Sa 2012" by Eros S. Atalia.
