Curriculum Reference

Grammar at your level

Grammar shouldn’t be an obstacle course of disconnected rules. In Fabling, grammar guides explain patterns you can notice while reading and listening. Look for linked story passages to see a rule in context.

Understanding CEFR Language Levels

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standardizes proficiency. Our grammar levels are teaching recommendations, not an official CEFR grammar syllabus. A0 is our label for complete beginners:

A0 / A1

Beginner / Breakthrough

Everyday isolated words, personal details, simple present tense, and basic survival vocabulary.

A2

Elementary / Waystage

Past tense narratives, daily routines, shopping, travel, and personal obligations.

B1 / B2

Intermediate / Upper Intermediate

Complex opinions, subjunctive feelings, abstract thoughts, and nuanced storytelling.

How we create these guides

Created by Fabling with AI-assisted drafting, these guides explain grammar through short examples and common mistakes. Linked grammar references, where provided, let you explore the topic further. Level assignments reflect Fabling’s teaching sequence, rather than an official list of grammar rules prescribed by the CEFR.

Story links include a quoted passage that demonstrates the rule. If you spot a mistake, send us the guide URL and your correction.
