Why Comprehensible Input (CI)?

Skip the textbooks, apps, and grammar drills that don’t build real conversation skills. Our lessons are designed with rich visuals, stories, and interactive activities, so you’ll naturally pick up the language—no overwhelming grammar drills, just real, meaningful Chinese that makes sense from the start!

     “We acquire a language by understanding it.”

                                           — Stephen Krashen

​

  • You will be immersed by Chinese language in a way that's engaging and easy to follow from day one;

  • You will be exposed to high-frequency vocabulary so you can use them daily; 

  • You will internalize the sentence structures through natural conversations, so it is effortless to memorize them;

  • You will feel perfectly confident talking with native Chinese speakers, even though your Chinese is not perfect yet.
