Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vidioma, and how is it different from other Chinese learning platforms?
Vidioma is an immersion-based platform for learning Chinese. Instead of traditional grammar drills, we focus on comprehensible input — real language, used in context, at a level you can understand. Our goal is for you to acquire Chinese naturally, like you did your first language.
What is the Comprehensible Input theory, and how does it guide Vidioma?
Vidioma is built on the Comprehensible Input theory — a natural, input-only approach to language learning. The theory suggests that you can reach fluency simply by understanding massive amounts of spoken language, without speaking early or analyzing grammar.
Do I need to study grammar to learn with Vidioma?
No! We encourage you to skip grammar study in the beginning. Instead, you’ll learn the rules naturally by seeing and hearing them in action through our videos.
Does Vidioma make the videos on the site?
No. Vidioma does not create or own any of the video content featured on the site. All videos are made by independent YouTube creators. We embed publicly available YouTube videos to help learners discover comprehensible input more easily. All rights belong to the original creators.
Can beginners really start without speaking or studying?
Absolutely. In fact, you shouldn't force speaking early on. By simply listening and watching content you understand, you’ll begin to absorb vocabulary, pronunciation, and sentence structure passively — and fluently.
What level of Chinese do I need to start using Vidioma?
None at all! We have content specifically designed for true beginners. Just choose videos marked as “New Starter” and work your way up at your own pace.
How do I know what content is right for my level?
Each video is tagged by difficulty level. We recommend starting with content where you understand at least 70% of what’s being said. If it’s too easy, move up. Too hard? Move down.
How long will it take to become fluent using Vidioma?
It depends on how much time you spend immersing. Many learners see noticeable progress after a few months of daily listening. For real fluency, think in terms of hundreds of hours of listening and reading.
Can I use Vidioma alongside other methods?
Yes — but we recommend making input your main method. If you want to add flashcards or conversation practice later, that’s fine. Just avoid interrupting the natural learning process early on.
What kind of content will I find on Vidioma?
You’ll find a growing library of video content tailored for language learners: stories, conversations, cultural topics, and everyday life — all in clear, comprehensible Chinese, graded by level.
Do I need to take notes or review vocabulary?
Not at all. The idea is to relax and enjoy the content. Your brain will do the work for you — just like when you learned your first language.
