Drama Club - 看劇學中文 - 逐玉 Pursuit of Jade Tu&Th 5PM PT

ADULTS welcome! Come learn Chinese through the magic of drama! In this exciting class based on Pursuit of Jade, students and families will explore Chinese language, culture, and idioms through a story-filled, drama-based experience. Instead of memorizing vocabulary from a textbook, we will watch selected scenes together, listen closely to how characters speak, and discover the meaning behind powerful expressions used in historical and period dramas.


Each class will introduce useful Chinese phrases, elegant older-style expressions, and a variety of idioms that help students understand both the language and the culture behind it. We will talk about what is happening in the scene, practice key lines, unpack idioms, and learn how these expressions can still connect to everyday life today. Students will build listening comprehension, vocabulary, cultural understanding, and confidence while having fun with classmates and family members.


This class is open to both students and parents. Parents are warmly invited to register for themselves! OR join alongside their child for a shared family learning experience. Families may also register just their child, and students are welcome to attend independently. Whether you are a drama fan, a Chinese learner, or a family looking for a meaningful activity to enjoy together, this class offers a fun and memorable way to learn.


Join us for Chinese, storytelling, idioms, laughter, and whole-family fun!

Our Philosophy

At Motherly Notes, we believe learning Chinese should feel like an adventure, not a chore. Our approach is all about immersive, meaningful learning that connects language with real-world knowledge. In our classes, kids explore subjects through engaging stories, thought-provoking texts, and lively discussions—all in Chinese. We focus on building fluency naturally, making Chinese a tool for discovery, not just memorization. With idioms, character learning, and social-emotional insights woven in, kids gain confidence in both language and critical thinking. Learning should spark curiosity, and at Motherly Notes, we make sure it does.
  • Advanced methods for memorizing characters.
  • Scientifically proven methods for learning.
  • Fully interest driven so your child will never get bored.
  • Building people magic so it feels like a playdate.
  • Award winning curriculum design (UPenn, Wharton, Jacobs Foundation awards).
