Why do you consider it a waste, not for me if you're persistent and add watching videos in french on YouTube. Duo lingo gives you structure and dedication to commit to learning french

They give you structure that is repetitive and irrelevant to your goal of writing and passing TCF/TEF. Especially with the one year subscription you’re planning to buy. Doing exercises there for free will serve you better than paying for it as a real resource.

Guys I'm planning on doing the Duolingo max for a year , looking for 5 other people to join in and let's make the payment. You get AI learning and one of payment of N99900 to be shared by 6 people for 1 year subscription. Each person pays 16500 naira for a year subscription to help us write the TEF exams. Anyone interested let me know please

I subscribed for the premium version for one person and it was a waste. Duolingo should not be taken as a serious language resource

Hi justwise, can you please review my post in the TEF thread and unban? I was giving a review of one of the tutors like someone asked. I think I used a French accent. Thanks 🙏🏾

Airlar:
Has anyone attended any of these? Please I’d love a a honest review. Thank you.

I can comment on Speak French Fast, they mostly rely on the YouTube videos of other French tutors. Their one-on-one classes with tutors is a joke because they don’t help you practice making coherent points for your tâche 3 (TCF) or tâche 2 (TEF). Their goal is in the title, Speak French Fast whatever you’re speaking whether correct or not, is left to you. Also you don’t get to practice your writing. I would say if you need a serious source of preparation for writing any of the exams, it’s not going to be SFF. But if you’re a beginner, trying to learn how to commit to learn French daily then they will help you with that because they require you to submit daily reports of what you learnt.

TL;dr- they are not a good source if you are at A2-B1 level (you will need the services of a tutor)
