The Swans have held their own against some of the Premier League's bigger sides, beating Arsenal as well as drawing against Chelsea and Manchester United.
While Vorm believes Queens Park Rangers' surprising win at Stamford Bridge has inspired them, the goalkeeper has also expressed his love for the English game.
Vorm told the Daily Express: "What QPR achieved last week can inspire us. After Chelsea beat Aston Villa 8-0, everyone wrote off QPR. But they went there and won.
"Everyone is so competitive; that is why I love English football. And Chelsea will not know what to expect from us.
"We have to believe in ourselves and give everything until the very end."
The 29-year-old knows it won't be easy against the reigning Champions League winners at Stamford Bridge and he has also singled out the Blues' influential midfielder Juan Mata as one of the club's most impressive performers.
The Dutchman added: "It's unbelievable that we are in a semi-final against Chelsea. What Swansea have achieved in the last 18 months is just a dream for the players and especially for the people who live here.
"Juan Mata is Chelsea's best player and they have just bought (Demba) Ba. They have so many players who can make a difference. But we have shown we are capable, not only with the football we play but the mentality we have.
"We are hard to beat, especially away from home. We have beaten Arsenal, Fulham and QPR in London, so that's a positive omen."
The Welsh club travel to Chelsea on Wednesday night with the return leg taking place on 23 January at the Liberty Stadium.
