Chinese Grammar Levels
All the content in our Chinese grammar section is assigned a level based on the CEFR (this system is also used by the Chinese Grammar Wiki).
There are three factors in deciding which level an article gets assigned to:
- How difficult the grammar is for learners
- How important it is for you to know
- How far along in your studies you are likely to encounter it
Because of that, sometimes obscure but not necessarily difficult content gets assigned a higher level, or relatively difficult but very important content gets assigned a lower level.
