Taiwanese (Tâi-gí) Conversation Group 🗣️💬
Looking to practice speaking Taiwanese (Tâi-gí 台語)?
Whether you are working on improving your fluency or are already fluent and want to help others learn or make friends, we welcome you to join us.
This is a collaborative group of people interested in the Taiwanese language – there is no formal lesson and no teacher. We will practice speaking and help each other improve. Feel free to bring any written materials you are using, to help guide the conversation.
Please note that this is intended for people who can hold at least elementary- or intermediate-level conversations.
Afterward, anyone interested in staying is welcome to grab lunch with us nearby to keep the conversation going!
