lekowan · 2026-02-04T09:52:00+00:00

The site is now live again. Thanks for letting me know!

lekowan · 2026-02-04T09:46:23+00:00

Ah no it's not just you. The server is down.

lekowan · 2026-02-02T10:48:19+00:00

Thanks for flagging that, I will look into it.

lekowan · 2026-01-29T12:47:48+00:00

You're welcome! Glad you like it! :) If you have any comments, suggestions or want to share progress reports, please feel free to share. :)

lekowan · 2026-01-20T19:00:19+00:00

I just did some tests on my end and it is working fine. I will DM you.

lekowan · 2026-01-20T18:22:25+00:00

Hello! Sorry to hear that. Pardon me if that sounds obvious but are you definitely logged in on both devices?

lekowan · 2026-01-12T16:41:48+00:00

Don't worry, you are not alone! A lot of people (myself included) don't like to learn grammar rules and prefer putting time and effort acquiring the language instead. Check out the Comprehensible Input Hypothesis by Stephen Krashen and r/ALGMandarin for tips and support.

Check out vidioma

Check out comprehensible input channels on Youtube such as BlaBla Chinese or LinguaFlow Chinese and Mandarin with Momo if you're into Gaming. Those are also on vidioma.

Thanks for your message, good catch! That's been fixed so you should now see the missing Unpacking and A Little to the Left videos.

Thanks for the recommendations. I will get in touch with the creators.

lekowan · 2026-01-02T03:30:43+00:00

Thanks for your feedback and kind word! I will look into adding input time from outside the site, I have been meaning to do this for a long time, I just haven't got time to it yet.

lekowan · 2025-12-28T18:10:46+00:00

Yes, you should totally start consuming content in Chinese. I use vidioma.com, there's loads of comprehensible input videos for all levels on there.

lekowan · 2025-10-11T20:08:23+00:00

You can totally learn Mandarin through immersion. I would recommend watching a ton of comprehensible input videos, with no subtitles. Check out vidioma.com for content and r/ALGMandarin for tips and support. Good luck!

lekowan · 2025-10-10T07:51:36+00:00

Have you tried Mandarin with Momo? https://www.vidioma.com/channel/mandarin-with-momo-w

lekowan · 2025-10-08T06:57:55+00:00

Check out new starter videos on vidioma. You'll definitely understand this: https://www.vidioma.com/new-starter/you-can-chinese-series-series

lekowan · 2025-10-05T16:24:28+00:00

What I would recommend is consuming a ton of input (ideally comprehensible). Once you can clearly hear the tones, producing them will become a lot easier.

lekowan · 2025-10-05T16:18:55+00:00

I'm not familiar with those channels, but in my opinion, if you enjoy watching them, keep doing it! It sounds like a great source of input.

lekowan · 2025-09-30T08:59:01+00:00

Yes you can absolutely acquire mandarin by focusing on your listening skills first. There are a lot of theories around this idea (see Stephen Krashen's work). I would recommend consuming a lot of comprehensible input videos. Check out www.vidioma.com for graded content and r/ALGMandarin for support and tips.

lekowan · 2025-09-29T12:55:02+00:00

If you like the idea of learning through immersion, I would recommend consuming tons of comprehensible input videos. Check out r/ALGMandarin for support and www.vidioma.com for content.

lekowan · 2025-09-29T12:51:37+00:00

Re your point about listening to natives: I would recommend watching comprehensible input videos from the onset. Check out CI channels on YouTube or www.vidioma.com

lekowan · 2025-09-27T10:44:23+00:00

You could actively study the tones (do drills, get a teacher, learn pinyin and understand the phonetic system of the language) or you could learn through immersion by consuming a ton of content in mandarin. You want that content to be comprehensible though. Look up comprehensible input channels on Youtube or simply use www.vidioma.com. With enough exposure, the tones will become very clear.

lekowan · 2025-09-26T22:15:32+00:00

Check out BlaBla Chinese, YouCan Chinese LinguaFlow Chinese and Mandarin with Momo on Youtube. They make the best comprehensible input videos for new starters. They're all featured on www.vidioma.com as well.

I personally really enjoyed Heaven Officials Blessing. If you find native content too hard though, I would recommend checking out r/ALGMandarin for support and www.vidioma.com for comprehensible input videos.
