This week in TWISEA<\/span> we are spotlighting our Vietnamese language instructor\u2019s first T<\/em>\u1ebft celebration on campus.<\/em><\/p>\n

On Saturday, January 21, Vietnamese language instructor C\u00f4 B\u00edch Ng\u1ecdc-Turner hosted her first T\u1ebft (Lunar New Year) event on campus at the Water Activities Center. Those who attended were Vietnamese American community members, Southeast Asian Center and Asian Languages & Literature faculty as well as UW students learning Vietnamese. Men wore suits and dress shirts while many of the women and children wore traditional outfits (\u00e1o d\u00e0i) in a variety of colors.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the beginning of the Year of the Rooster, C\u00f4 B\u00edch prepared a variety of fun activities. The prizes, small red packets (l\u00ec x\u00ec in Vietnamese) filled with money. The activities began with guessing lyrics from popular T\u1ebft songs and guessing the descriptions of common T\u1ebft scenes. When the scenes of New Year\u2019s Eve offerings (c\u00fang giao th\u1eeba) and song lyrics appeared on the screen, everyone from local professionals to Vietnamese American UW students in C\u00f4 B\u00edch\u2019s class, shouted out answers in Vietnamese. The highlight was the tug-o-war games played in groups of men, women and children. Everyone made their way onto the balcony to cheer on each group. The activities ended with the final raffles for flowers and a fruit platter of five fruits in five different colors, symbolizing the five elements of the universe (m\u00e2m ng\u0169 qu\u1ea3), including dragonfruit, bananas and oranges.<\/p>\n

But of course, the most enjoyable experience of the day was conversations over a potluck meal. UW students studying Vietnamese language got the opportunity to practice with native speakers. Those who are heritage speakers studying with C\u00f4 B\u00edch got the opportunity to network with Vietnamese American professionals in the greater Seattle area.<\/p>\n

Community members brought traditional homemade food for the T\u1ebft potluck. Vietnamese sausage, made up of lean meat, spices and fish sauce, (ch\u1ea3 l\u1ee5a) was served on a bed of sticky rice (x\u00f4i). Both fried (ch\u1ea3 gi\u00f2) and fresh (g\u1ecfi cu\u1ed1n) spring rolls were served alongside generous amounts of dipping sauce (n\u01b0\u1edbc ch\u1ea5m). On top of that were oranges, dragonfruit, salad, and other delicious foods. The meal ended with cookies and traditional fruit in coconut milk (ch\u00e8 th\u00e1i).<\/p>\n

In C\u00f4 B\u00edch\u2019s Vietnamese language class, students get to not only study the language, but also learn about Vietnamese culture in class and at cultural events on campus like this one. Elementary, intermediate, and advanced Vietnamese are offered every year as a 3-quarter series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
