A Complete English Learning Pathway.
Angrezi Guru uses the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages to organise learning from beginner foundations to advanced communication. The pathway below combines CEFR outcomes with grammar and vocabulary requirements, then expands them into listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading, writing, functional language and real-world communication.
Five levels. One continuous learning journey.
Grammar Is the Framework. Communication Is the Goal.
This syllabus organises grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and writing into a detailed Angrezi Guru progression. Each CEFR stage is treated as a practical communication level, not merely a grammar checklist.
Basic User — A1 & A2
Build survival communication, core sentence patterns, everyday vocabulary and the confidence to manage familiar situations.
Independent User — B1 & B2
Move into sustained conversation, work and study communication, explanation, argument, presentations and greater fluency.
Proficient User — C1
Develop flexible, precise and sophisticated English for demanding professional, academic, social and leadership situations.
A1 — Beginner / Breakthrough
Build the ability to understand and use familiar everyday expressions, introduce yourself, exchange basic personal information and communicate simply when the other person speaks clearly and supportively.
A1 develops dependable control of essential everyday English: personal information, family, routines, places, food, basic experiences, immediate needs, short questions and supported exchanges. Learners repeatedly move from recognising language to producing it.
Grammar & Language Control
Core structures progressively practised until learners can use them in meaningful communication.
- be, have/have got, there is/are and basic word order
- present simple and present continuous
- introductory present perfect with since/for, ever/never, already/yet
- past simple with regular and common irregular verbs
- will and going to for basic future meaning
- can/can’t, could, must/mustn’t, need/needn’t and shall
- articles, basic quantifiers, pronouns and possessives
- comparatives, superlatives and basic adjective/adverb forms
- place prepositions and basic question formation
- zero conditional and basic gerund/infinitive patterns
Vocabulary & Functional Language
Personal information, family, home, daily routine, food, shopping, places, school/work, likes and dislikes, time, dates, basic travel, common actions and past experiences.
Listening
Understand short, clear statements and instructions; identify familiar words, numbers, times and everyday information when speech is slow and clear.
Speaking & Pronunciation
Introduce yourself, answer basic questions, ask for simple information, describe routine and immediate needs, make basic requests and take part in short supported exchanges. Pronunciation work develops intelligibility, stress, rhythm, connected speech and confident delivery appropriate to the level.
Reading
Read signs, notices, forms, short messages and simple descriptions; locate predictable information in familiar texts.
Writing
Write simple sentences, forms, notes and short messages about yourself, family, routines, likes, plans and recent experiences.
Real-World Communication
Learning is transferred into role plays, conversations, problem-solving, presentations, interviews, group discussion and practical tasks appropriate to A1.
Assessment & Progress
Progress is checked through grammar and vocabulary tasks, reading and listening work, speaking performance, writing, concept tests and cumulative review. Assessment is used to identify what has been mastered and what needs reinforcement.
A2 — Elementary / Waystage
Move from isolated basic exchanges to routine communication about familiar matters. Describe your background and environment, handle predictable transactions and connect simple ideas with greater control.
A2 expands survival English into routine independent communication. Learners connect ideas, describe people and places, narrate familiar events, discuss plans and handle predictable social and transactional situations.

Your Level Is a Starting Point, Not a Label.
Placement helps us choose the right difficulty. Progress comes from repeated exposure, practice, correction, reflection and increasingly independent use of English.
