Saga Kabtangan Pagaddat Educational Poster
We had a request from a teacher in Davao to make a translation for a polite expressions poster. It is our goal that the Department of Education along with other privately run schools would benefit from ready made learning materials in the Sinama language. We know it can be a big help for the Sama Students. We offer this polite phrases poster as a free download. We would love to see your pictures of this poster being used in your classrooms.
