Mad oooo.....

Ozzygbam:


Bonjour a tous. I need your help o
Someone suggested going to a french speaking country like Bénin for proper immersion in the language, my problem now is I don’t know of any good school over there in Cotonou

I would be glad if someone can recommend a good one for me
Thanks

Found this using search bar. Not sure if they are still operating.

I think Scard or Babiechic also spent some time in Cotonou.

Thanks a lot mamaroon
I really do appreciate but how do I get in touch with Scard or Babiechic?

Kennyyo:
I'm actually looking at October for both TEF and TCF in Lome and possibly two weeks mini immersion before the exam dates.

Please oya kennyyo, did u finally go to Bénin (Cotonou)?

njbybrthnly:


Mamaroon I want to be like you when I grow up...so you can still laugh? I can imagine how you must be feeling now but it's well...delay is not denial...no need to worry.

In other news, this CRS matter is not funny. I'm also having high bp for the matter as my siblings have also started this immigration waka. In all things, we rely on God

Dear Mamaroon, no mata how old this msg is, it is still very funny to me
I’m also dreaming of a white Christmas someday too

Google63:


No I've not been practicing with it, I just write normally for now. I'll start soon though.

Uncle/aunts google63 pls I PMed you, can u pls reply?

mariah203:


I mean that you should print out the test. I know most of the resources available are computer based but u can get some that u can print out on paper to work with while you listen to the audio... If you write in phc, your exam is going to be on paper and this will help...

Mariah thanks for sharing,
How do I get the paper based materials in order to prepare for TCF?

Framaro:
I've sent you a pm

Me Framaro pls I just PMed you
I need info regarding that immersion program at Bénin

Purplestorm:
Hello guys, I would be started classes on Monday at AF. I'm so scared and hope this would favour me. I'm dedicating 8 months to a year to learning French and hopefully get through, I have absolutely no idea. I was going to prepare for TEF but from what I just read I would focus on TCF. Please I'm open to advise. Please forgive me because I seem to be everywhere. I'm just anxious and looking for reassurance.

Same here o
Pls you pple should help your little sister

IronFist:


Self-imposed immersion: Changed my phone language to French, listened to only French News (TV & Radio), tried as much to avoid lengthy English Conversations and stick to Francophone Nigerians as chat buddies.

Use of Past Questions found online

One thing I left out in my latest attempt, which cost me dearly, was Practice of reading and writing Faits Divers as well as listening tests as found in 250 activities.

Bonne chance as you prepare

I had earlier tried to upload some documents I found useful, but I got a restriction. I've been banned by the SpamBot twice.

Oga ironfist pls can you share the materials with me?

Enculer, i don’t mind the table o
Help a sister

Enculer:


That is great. How are you finding the golden 85 texts?
I have it all arranged in a table form if you want.

I am working on fait divers tomorrow.

Uncle kennyyo pls reply me na

Kennyyo:
I always forget to come here. But I have learned a few things from this thread every time I take a look.

Finally registered for TEF after shifting the dates like 3 times from April to July to September. I was going to even shift to November cos I always felt I'm not ready. I'm off to Lome on Monday for two weeks before the exams on 26th. I should write TCF to in between.

Wish me luck on my adventure. Thanks everyone.

Reply me please

Kennyyo:
TEF passe à Lomé samedi le 26 octobre, 2019.

CO: Benin, aide scolaire
CE: biere verte, patheons Haiti, un nouveau logiciel, les chauffeurs, and others.
EO: A. Call Train company to get information on their packages
B: Convince a friend to become a product tester.
EE. A. A 96yr old woman unfortunately had to sell her house.
B. Travels and holidays are worth more than certificates

Overall it was a nice experience. Had to drop the idea of TCF because the changed their dates.

For those who are already in B1/B2, just get on that Facebook page and get the link to those 85 past questions. I doubt there was any questions from both the CO and CE that I hadn't seen before. Although I didn't revise like 2 of the long texts and one of the long recordings for CO, but I had treated virtually every single question.

For the EO, practice speaking. It's not as difficult. The examiners were helpful with giving me confidence. Just keep practicing and don't stress too much.

I was thrown off balance by the EE. I struggled a bit. It's the only place I have a bit of fear. Though I try to ensure my grammar was correct but I didn't flow well.

Hopefully I can come back and share good news I'm another 4-6weeks.

Best of luck to us all.

Uncle Fabguen i just PMed u

Fabguen:


You may want to look at page 40 of this thread.

Pls send to me as well

Enculer:


Yes please download them. I think they come with off docs containing suggested solutions as well.

There are CO and CE questions there.

I can send you my word version of the CE I adapted and used for my CE.

Enculer2:

I plan to simulate tonight to see how it pans out.

The main thing will be to work hard for the IELTS.

I just PMed you

Beezus:


Send me a Pm

Kennyyo I’m interested in this too and any good recommended sch in Cotonou
Thanks

Grimmm:


Hi Kennyyo,

Please can you help with information on logistics such as Accommodation, location and cost. Preparatory classes. Did you take classes while you were in Lome? Did you register for the exam when you got there or before? I'd be glad for the information.

Thank you.

Thanks, Mamaroon. I remember when I became active here on Nairaland all because of this immigration stuff and my first point of call was the FSW thread, I had seen your posts here and there and instantly knew you're such a great woman with a good heart! I can't thank enough you for all you do. Et vraiment, it amazes me the sort of energy and passion you put in at replying people's queries here and the sister thread, even when most of us are tired of doing so because questions involved are all repeated ones whose answers can be found on Page 1 and by research through the thread. I notice you're quite very intelligent too and obviously if age had been on your side, we would have read your PPR gist long before now. Hopefully, we'll get to celebrate you too soon, as we did with Stencil. Thank you once more, sis!

Mamaroon:

ShoeShine Baba! Thanks so much sir.....BUT.....if age had been on my side...I would have been a pompous pig. I would not have appreciated the mercy of God and how gracious He has been to me!

When I consider that my application is chilling in one visa office (after TEF haff show me who's da boss) my heart is filled with such gratitude!

There is a season and time for everything....our time in Nigeria is not wasted....

All the best!

Hey Sorry. I haven't been here in months. I went to Lome. The Benin guys were not responsive, they never responded to my emails...and havent still replied them.

If you have the time, it is good to do a bit of immersion when learning a language but i also think there are quite a lot of resources online and people you can ask to give you 15mins of their time on a daily basis to have conversation.

All the best.

sweetoma:
Hello guys, I just entered the express entry pool with CRS of 436, I don’t have masters I’m currrently searching for where I can enroll for a fast 1 year masters whether it is online from a foreign school. Can afford to spend like $5000 to $7000 at most. If you have any suggestions for school whether here and abroad please let me know. I’m also looking at writing TEF to increase my score. The alliance francaise here is closed because of covid so I’m learning with duo lingo please any helpful resources for learning will be appreciated. I was just laid off from my job because of this pandemic so right now this is my focus.

Hmm.. Wise words as always! It will end in praise..
