About

A Filipino Language & Culture Experience Connecting People Through Conversation, Culture, and Community USAPTAYO Club is a program of Tell Experience Lane (TEL), LLC, offering a social and conversational Filipino language and cultural experience that brings people together through language, stories, and shared traditions.

We help Filipino Americans, heritage learners, and Filipino culture enthusiasts reconnect with their roots, build meaningful connections, and gain confidence in speaking Filipino in everyday conversations. The word “Usap Tayo” means “Let’s Talk” in Filipino.

The goal is to create meaningful conversations that strengthen cultural identity, family connections, and community relationships through language. Founded by Maria Fontimayor, an educator with a passion for Filipino language preservation and cultural engagement, USAPTAYO Club provides fun, interactive, and practical Filipino learning experiences for adults and professionals.
