Choose a place to begin
If you know a few common words, try A1. A0 starts with the basics; A2, B1, and B2 offer progressively more language. These labels are starting points, not a test you need to pass. C1 and C2 samples are also available for advanced readers.
Read a short passage and see whether you can follow what happens. Use a word explanation when you need it, or choose an easier story if you are stopping in every sentence.
These are shared samples. Fabling membership adds practice shaped around your words and interests.
