Re: How Do You Say FIRST?
Hm...I can understand Tagalog, but I can't speak, read, or write it. I guess there just isn't much of a reason for me to do so since most Filipinos also understand and speak English. Consequently, I can easily translate from Tagalog to English (assuming that it's spoken to me), but I have a lot of trouble going the other way around (or trying to read it). I'll give it my best shot though - no guarantees on grammar, spelling, or perfect meaning.

And yes, it's acceptable to use English words in a Tagalog sentence and vice versa. Although, I think if you use an English word in Tagalog you're supposed to use Tagalog-style spelling. My mom, her family, and the people on the Filipino news do it all the time. Usually when they can't think of the word they want to use, and generally only for nouns and verbs.
