Taiwanese (Tâi-gí) Conversation Group 💬🥐☕

Lí hó 你好 (hello)! Looking to practice speaking Taiwanese (Tâi-gí 台語)? 🥐🍞🥯 Join TAP-DC for a casual get-together to chat, practice, and connect with the community. Is this group for me? This is a casual practice space, not a formal class. We will help each other out. ✅ Beyond the basics: If you can hold basic conversations—even if you stumble, mix in English, or make mistakes—this space is for you! Active learners, heritage speakers, and fluent speakers are all welcome. ⚠️ For absolute beginners: Since there is no curriculum, this specific meetup will be tough to follow if you are starting from scratch. We strongly encourage you to check out the local beginner classes listed at the bottom of this page to build your foundation! Feel free to suggest discussion topics in the event chat beforehand. After the planned session, anyone interested is welcome to grab dinner with us to keep the conversation going. THE DETAILS 🗓️ Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026 ⏰ Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM (drop by anytime) with optional dinner afterward 📍 Location: Japong Bakery (765 Rockville Pike Unit A, Rockville, MD 20852) 🚗 Parking: Free parking in the shopping center 🚇 Metro: Rockville station (Red Line) 😀 Your Host: Andrew (is also a learner!) 🌱 Additional Options for Absolute Beginners If you are starting from scratch, we highly recommend dropping by the adult classes held by the Washington DC Taiwanese School (WDCTS).
