Here's a post I put on the Living in Cebu Forums. I'm explaining this Cebuano course I just finished.

Hi everybody, This is Bud Brown. A little history to, maybe, answer some questions. When I was a teenager I lived with a Mexican family in Mexico for a while. I quickly picked up Spanish and I also realized that it was kinda neat to know another language. After high school I joined the Navy (So I wouldn't go to Vietnam. haha How naive I was!) I was sent to the US Defense Language School in Monterey, CA to learn Vietnamese. I went to Vietnam in '71 and had a GREAT time! I'm not kidding! When you can shuck and jive with the locals, it makes a world of difference. I also was stationed in the Philippines (NAVCOMSTA PHIL San Miguel – Zambales ….yeah, I was a "spook" ) I met my wonderful Filipina wife there . Over the next 40 years I graduated from the local university with a degree in Linguistics, where I studied lots of other languages. I became a public school teacher, and retired in 2005. I finally realized my dream of coming back to the Philippines in March '11. Settling in Cebu, I knew my first and most important goal was to learn Cebuano. Unbelievably, I couldn't find any resources to learn how to carry on a conversation in Cebuano (Bisaya) so I girded my loins (so to speak), interviewed native speakers, found phrase books, and basically pestered all my Filipino friends and neighbors for about ten months. Then I gathered all my research and compiled a course that would have not only text, but also audio and video files. Thus, was born "Essential Cebuano: How to Speak and Understand Cebuano". To make it available and convenient to get , it's in digital form. Meaning, after you purchase, you download it to your computer, then you can read in on your computer or print it out (the whole thing or a section at a time). In the book are links to the audio and video files. I also just added a "slide show " for each of the lessons. Sorry if this sounds like an advertisement, but I just wanted to answer a lot of questions ahead of time, if possible . Feel free to PM me or ask on the forum and maybe others will have the same question. Right now, I'm in California visiting friends and family. I'll be back in Cebu (Dalaguete) the middle of Feb.
