Husband and wife Frederick and Fiona De Vos developed the course "Learning Tagalog: Fluency Made Fast and Easy" due to the lack of learning resources available online.
After moving from Belgium to the Philippines in 2007, Frederik began learning Filipino as a means to communicate with those around him. This experience prompted him to develop a simple and practical course to help other foreigners learn the language and by 2010, they were able to release the course online.
