Hello house.
I am new to this thread and I want to prepare for the TEF exam but with no knowledge of French. Please can someone help me with the contact info a very good private french tutor I can make flexible arrangement with as I currently work Mon - Fri? Thanks

Please go through the thread. Many people have given their two cents on this topic. Like your elder sister, some people here are learning French from scratch to write the exam. Going through the thread may seem daunting but it's a little thing to do in comparison to actually studying french.

Hello house,

Please my Elder sister has been thinking of whether she should enroll for TEF so as to boost her Crs score but, the issue of concern has been the possibility of passing the test considering the fact that she has zero knowledge about French..please someone help.Reply needed ASAP.

Thanks for the response....

Another question to the house..... I'm a bit confused is TCF the same as TCF Canada....cause I do not see much info about TCF Canada on the internet.

Thanks all
LaVie C'est Bon Bon

I don't know if they're the same...I just know that TCF Canada is what is required by IRCC

How long did it take you to start preparing for and completed TEF exams?

Hi guys. I hope we're all progressing along steadily in our studies for the French exam. I have a few words that may encourage us even more:







I HAVE GOTTEN PPR!!!!!!!!!!!!
AOR: December 14, 2018
PPR: February 20, 2019

I remember when my TEF results came out, hubby always used to say that our app processing time will be very short because Canada is looking for bilingual people . I just used to nod in agreement but it's like IRCC decided to prove him right o.

That aside though, I give God all the glory. He has come through for me in a very specific way (honestly I feel like before now He had left me in the care of His angels and then sometime last year, He singled me out and decided to place His hand on my head...blessings upandan, left, right and centre) and I didn't even need to beg and cry. First, with the TEF (which I did as a trial run not knowing He had other plans), and now this, PPR in 9 weeks 5 days post-AOR, with loads of other blessings inbetween. Words can't express how grateful I feel right now.

So, in case you're looking for something extra to motivate you, let's test my oga's theory which states that, EE applications with good IELTS and additional points from TEF/TCF results have a very short processing time

Who knows? Hubby might be on to something . Let's keep at it guys, you could be next.

_{I'm so overwhelmed that my head is even paining me}

@Scard

I made the decision to take the TEF exam late March and did it in October so I guess I studied french actively for 6 months. I had a private tutor too for the first 6 weeks or so but I noticed I was unconsciously only studying french when I was with him.

Bellerin has pretty much said it all but I just want to add that you shouldn't put a limit to the number of hours you study french...it's a language not a course. Try to immerse yourself in it...if you are watching TV it should be a french channel or watch french movies, if you are listening to the radio, listen to french stations and podcasts, if you are surfing the Internet, visit french websites and join french groups on social media. You can even start speaking french to your close friends and family (the ones that know of your plans anyway )- I speak french to my kids all the time - I believe this will help you to develop a natural rhythm and flow.

Great! Thanks.

How much did it cost throughout the program.

Also, how many points did it add for you? Im looking for additional points jare. I've lost 25pts on age.

I appreciate....

Salut. Please does the 160k being paid to Alliance Française cover classes or is it only for the TEF exams? I have been trying all day to call them but their lines are switched off, I'm not sure if I have the right number. Anyone with the correct phone number should please give me.

You can dm me for the number of one of their staff. She might not appreciate me sharing her number on a public forum.

Regarding your question, the payment is for the exam alone. The exam fee has been on the rise for a while now; the earlier one writes, the better.

Bonne chance !

Par rapport, ils sont pareil sauf que, le TCF a trois devoirs dans l'epreuve l'Expression Orale, en revanche le TEF a deux.

Bonne chance

Thanks, I actually don't need it for CA. I'm using it for something different and also just trying to maximise my efforts and sacrifice.

njbybrthnly:
Bonne chance! Even though I honestly don't think you need it. Wishing you all the best

I actually meant i don't think you need luck...as in chance...lol. All the same, bonne chance!

Great.

I was exposed to French since primary school. We dropped it after JS3 WAEC when I even had an A1.

I now need it again fast forward 21yrs.

See my life. No i have to got at it head on again.

Is it possible? Yes, I think it is. But then again, you have to consider what "pass" means in TEF

Unlike DELF where you write either A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2 and then pass or fail any of these levels, TEF is a singular exam that will place you on the right level based on your performance. In other words, you do not usually fail or pass TEF. The exam only grades you. Whether the outcome is acceptable or not then depends on the level required by the institution requesting for the exam. Canadian immigration is asking for CLB4 if French is presented as a second language. This can be likened to B1 according to the information I got at Alliance Francaise.

So the question is, can you attain B1 in 8 months?

Like I already answered, I believe you can. But that will take some serious dedication. Bearing in mind that your migration to Canada might depend on it should be a good source of motivation. Again, you must engage in personal studies asides class room lectures, make friends with those that speak the language and never give up even when it seems impossible. The last point is very important because there is always that point in foreign language learning where you feel you can't move on or that you are just wasting your time. Pass that stage and success is guaranteed. As they say, the seceret of learning a language is speaking the language. Speak, speak, speak. Even when it sounds horrible. It can only get better.

As for me, I was exposed to French in secondary school. I have been learning on my own since then. I wrote and passed DELF in 2013
