Designed for learners who have already begun learning Zhuyin, this class focuses on building fluency, accuracy, and confidence in sounding out and reading Chinese words.

Through engaging weekly lessons, students will deepen their understanding of Zhuyin and develop strong foundational skills to read and pronounce Chinese with confidence.

We do the prep work for you, so you can focus on learning efficiently and stress-free.

Enjoy a variety of high-quality materials, including stories and activities tailored to your child’s needs.

Our classes are designed to feel like play, but your child will be learning important skills and concepts every step of the way. We focus on hands-on activities, games, and interactive lessons that make the learning process enjoyable and engaging. No more boring drills—learning is now exciting!

We’ve perfected a unique method that keeps kids and teens motivated and engaged while learning at their own pace. Our approach is based on extensive research and testing to ensure our lessons fit your child's specific learning needs. With our proven methods, your child will gain confidence and mastery in their studies without the stress.

The curriculum is synchronized with Taiwan and China’s Chinese language programs, ensuring students learn at the same pace and material covered in those systems.

Each level in our program covers the equivalent of two years or grade levels in the traditional Chinese school system and is designed to last two years—except for the upper levels, which span four years due to the increased complexity of the material. New lessons are introduced weekly, each focusing on different characters. We use a multi-grade-per-level approach to give students the flexibility to learn at a pace that sparks curiosity, provides appropriate challenges, and reinforces foundational skills.

This course teaches in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, making it perfect for students who want to learn one or both. About 40% of the characters are exactly the same across both systems, with another 40% being similar and easy to recognize. Learning both opens the door to fully immersing yourself in all Chinese-speaking cultures.

Our year-round courses are designed to keep students on track with native-level speed, while our summer courses focus on reviewing and consolidating what’s been learned, offering meaningful extensions to support improvement and advancement in both Chinese characters and content. During the summer, we also place a strong emphasis on enhancing writing and typing skills.

What Happens in Class

This is the Mandarin learning experience families have been searching for, authentic, rich, warm, and built on world-class literature.

We invite you to register and join the community!

We are fully WASC accredited, ensuring academic quality and high standards.
We have received multiple Innovation and Social Impact Awards from the University of Pennsylvania for our unique approach to education.
Our teachers are trained through the rigorous Motherly Notes methodology, known for making Mandarin learning fast, joyful, and conversation-driven.

At Motherly Notes, your child steps into a true native-language environment unlike any other bilingual program. Most classmates come from Mandarin-speaking households, giving students natural exposure to authentic tones, expressions, and high-level discussion. This immersive atmosphere consistently helps our learners skyrocket their Chinese abilities, quickly and joyfully.

In our weekday classes, we focus on the excitement of literature, rich stories, comprehension, discussions, and idioms that help students fall in love with Mandarin.

In our weekend Foundations classes, the focus shifts to writing mastery. Instead of stories, students work with short passages and then dive into structured writing practice: from Zhuyin, to character formation, to sentence writing. These sessions are designed to build strong fundamentals and confident writers, step by step.

As students learn new vocabulary, they also explore the many ways each word can be used. We dive into:

Phrase building — learning how a single word can create multiple useful expressions

破音字 (characters with multiple pronunciations and meanings) — understanding tone changes and context

Idioms connected to the new vocabulary

Radicals — helping students recognize patterns and strengthen character understanding

In our Foundations classes, students not only learn these new phrases but also practice writing them, reinforcing both comprehension and writing skills.

From learning Zhuyin to mastering Pinyin typing, students build typing skills gradually — one week at a time, little by little. As they progress through the levels, their ability grows naturally. By the time they reach the upper levels, students are confidently typing full sentences and even complete paragraphs in Mandarin.

We teach at the same pace as top native classes in Asia, but with one powerful difference, we use our own carefully designed texts. Why? Because overseas learners thrive when content feels relevant, relatable, and global.

Many traditional textbooks from Taiwan or China focus on local culture, references, or terms that don’t always translate to the wider world. This can slow down comprehension and frustrate students. Our curriculum removes that barrier. By tailoring topics to the international experiences of overseas students, learning becomes faster, smoother, and far more enjoyable.

When the goal is to master writing and retain a large number of characters, we place the emphasis exactly where it belongs:

✔️ high-interest themes

✔️ memorable vocabulary

✔️ efficient writing practice

Our Foundations Curriculum

In our weekend Foundations classes, we use our own Hanzi 1000 system and Dictionary Tales from Taiwan — a research-backed sequence that guides students toward writing 3,500+ characters across our full program.

On average, students learn:

≈ 500 new characters per year

with a long-term retention goal of 80–90% by Year 5 and beyond

This intentional structure ensures students build not only speed, but confidence, advancing at native-level rigor while learning through stories, topics, and examples that truly resonate with their lives.

We read and teach fully in Traditional Chinese, with full support for Simplified Chinese, especially when children write. All teachers are trained in both systems.

In our Foundations weekend classes, students learn both Simplified and Traditional in a structured approach.

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.
