In Hindi

Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
Who are you talking to? is a CEFR B2 structure — the confident band — and it belongs to prepositions. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
