A teacher can never really teach someone something. Only the student can learn and the teacher can encourage and help when they get stuck. I would learn how to read Tagalog first. It’s not too bad, Latin alphabet and all. Look words up at first, ask her once you get better. At that point your awful pronunciation when you ask about a word will compel her into helping you learn the rest. 3. profit
And you probably will have a conversation about why you want to learn Tagalog and if I were you I would focus on being able to communicate with her family and enjoy Filipino media with her. And not that you can’t understand her private conversations with her family / friends.
