Learning languages does not come easy to me which dates back to French in school. Wikipedia states that "Hiligaynon, often referred to as Ilonggo, is an Austronesian language spoken in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines."

They have two PDF there that list a plethora of words going in either direction. Here are those two links:

Hiligaynon (Ilongo) - English

English – Hiligaynon (Ilongo)

You can also read the Lord's Prayer in Ilonggo at Wikipedia. Here it is:

Amay namon, nga yara ka sa mga langit

Pagdayawon ang imo ngalan

Umabot sa amon ang imo ginharian

Matuman ang imo buot

Diri sa duta subong sang sa langit

Hatagan mo kami nian sing kan-on namon

Sa matag-adlaw

Kag ipatawad mo ang mga sala namon

Subong nga ginapatawad namon ang nakasala sa amon

Kag dili mo kami nga ipagpadaug sa mga panulay

Gino-o luwason mo kami sa kalaut

Amen.

Here are some common phrases to get you started:

How are you?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good afternoon.

Good evening.

Sorry.

Where are we going?

May I buy?

How much is this?

HELP! :) Kumusta ka?

Maayong gab-i.

Pasensia.

Diin kita makadto?

Bakal ko diri?

TABANG!
