That’s exactly what happened to today’s Original Poster (OP) who, despite being half-Filipina, didn’t exactly scream “Asian” to her fiancé’s tight-knit Filipino family. Unbeknownst to them, she had secretly learned Tagalog in college, and kept that knowledge under wraps during every family visit.

After confronting them in fluent Tagalog, the family was shocked and apologetic, but she questioned whether she could be a part of the family
The OP is half-Filipina but didn’t speak Tagalog at home, though she took it up in college out of curiosity. Her fiancé is fully Filipino and very close to his extended family. Every time they visited, the family would chat away in Tagalog, assuming she couldn’t understand a word.
