Welcome to our TAP-DC community!
TAP-DC is working on more upcoming events for our community, including events co-hosted as a member of Young Asian Americans of Washington DC (YAAW).
Please join us for any of our events that interest you. Weβd love to see you!
Note: For the quickest updates on whatβs happening with TAP-DC, we invite you to follow us on Instagram or Facebook.
π’ We have officially assembled our new TAP-DC Board for the 2026-2027 term! We are gearing up for an exciting next chapter and cannot wait to see you soon!
Please reach out to us at any time at info@tap-dc.org or come find us at any of our events.
LΓ hΓ³ δ½ ε₯½ (hello)! Looking to practice speaking Taiwanese (TΓ’i-gΓ ε°θͺ)?
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.
β Beyond the basics: If you can hold basic conversationsβeven if you stumble, mix in English, or make mistakesβthis space is for you! Active learners, heritage speakers, and fluent speakers are all welcome.
β οΈ 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!
Boba, food, and new faces! π§π
Come hang out with our newly assembled 2026-2027 TAP-DC Board.
Whether youβre a long-time member, a TAP alum, or checking out your very first event, we want to meet you. Grab a bubble tea (from Kung Fu Tea) or a bite from the food hall, and join us for a relaxed get-together.
Our events are open to everyone. We'll have a fun, low-pressure activity to help everyone get to know each other. Bring a friend or come meet one! Itβs casual, and our events typically have newcomers who come join us.
For anyone interested, we will likely head out to a nearby spot afterward (like Punch Bowl Social) to keep the night going.
