It was great seeing everyone recently for crafts, making fabric zongzi (粽子香包) for the Dragon Boat Festival (端午節)! 🐉🛶✂️

We’re happy to report that everyone who came by went home with at least one (or multiple!) zongzi made with their own hands – even those of us who were a little skeptical of our ability to sew (including the one writing this). 🧵😅

We also got a sneak peek at our next upcoming craft event on Sunday, July 12. Signups are almost full, so grab your seat while you still can! 🪷

So glad we could get together recently to practice our Taiwanese! 🗣️💬

It was great seeing both familiar faces and new friends come out to learn, share, and practice together. Thank you to everyone who joined us, whether to just chat in Tâi-gí (台語) or practice tones and learn words together.

We know many of you have been asking how to learn Taiwanese, and we are happy to share this opportunity with you. The Washington DC Taiwanese School (WDCTS) has now brought back adult Taiwanese language classes for their 2026–2027 term, starting Aug 30! 🎉

Perhaps you’ve picked up bits and pieces from family, or you’ve never spoken Taiwanese before at all but are interested in connecting through our language and culture. WDCTS is offering both basic and beginner-level Taiwanese classes, so check it out if you’re interested.

See you next time.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the TAP-DC booth to chat, fold paper terrapins with us, and to test their luck (or analytical abilities?). A special shoutout to the winner of our jar guessing game! 🐢 🐢 🐢
