▬▬ More On My Background ▬▬
I took French on and off for 15 years in the Canadian education system, but learned literally nothing. I don’t remember anything except maybe some pronouns, colors, and “est-ce que je peux aller au toilette s’il vous plait?”

So at the start of my 30 day French Challenge, I took a placement test and it put me in A1 beginner level. So while I was not a COMPLETE beginner to French, I was still very much a beginner.

I’m also not completely new to Tagalog. I grew up hearing Tagalog through my family and at the start of my 30 day Tagalog challenge, I could understand the language pretty decently, although I couldn’t speak it.

So to some extent, no, I’m not a 100% beginner to any of these languages I’ve learned so far. I’ve had some exposure to them and had it pretty easy so far. Still, I believe that the principles of The Road Trip Method are helpful.
