Ilonggo Curriculum Specialist / Ilonggo Coach

Tahanan ( ---------- ) is a language-learning app that teaches Tagalog and Bisaya to learners around the world through bite-sized lessons, flashcards, AI speaking practice, and feedback from real coaches. We're launching Ilonggo next, and we're looking for a native Ilonggo speaker to help us build it.

What you'll do

• Translate our full Tagalog curriculum (lessons, example sentences, vocabulary, and flashcards) into natural, everyday Ilonggo.
• Work in Google Docs. Each lesson comes prepared with the Tagalog source and an empty Ilonggo column, so you can focus on translating, not formatting.
• Flag words or phrases that don't translate directly and suggest how a native speaker would actually say them.
• Keep a short glossary so terms stay consistent across lessons.

What we're looking for

• Native or near-native Ilonggo speaker, fluent in Tagalog/Filipino and comfortable in English.
• Translation, localization, or proofreading experience.
• Careful with spelling, consistency, and tone. Learners will study every word you write.
• Reliable, full time, and able to share progress daily.

Optional (paid separately, tell us if you're interested)

• Voice recording: record Ilonggo words and sentences for pronunciation audio.
• Coaching after launch: give learners written or voice feedback on their Ilonggo recordings, paid per feedback.

Pay

• $3/hour, full time, paid monthly.
• Long-term work: after the translation, there's ongoing work in recording, review, and coaching as Ilonggo grows.

How to apply
Send a short message in Ilonggo and English introducing yourself, plus this sentence translated into Ilonggo: "Good morning! Have you eaten yet? Let's study together today."
