Please where do I register for the TEF exam in Nigeria?

Walk-in or through the websites of any Alliance Française center in Nigeria.

Hi everyone,

For someone that plans to take the TEF exams to boost CRS scores, is it best practice for the person to take in-person classes at an institution like Alliance Francaise or another similar one first OR can the person skip that and go with a personal tutor and self-directed learning from the beginning? The person I am enquiring for is a beginner, with no knowledge of French at all. He is giving himself a target of 10 months. Do you think it is feasible for a beginner that plans to use a personal tutor and put in the time to study as well?

Thanks in anticipation of your responses.

Yes, I believe it's possible. Why? Because we have testimonials right here on this thread.
But will it be possible for your person to do it in 10 months? That will be totally up to him and his learning rate. 10 months is a good time to put in full-time energy.

As for the school, the issue with Alliance Française (AF) used to be the speed of their classes, it was slow for some. I believe they have solved that with accelerated classes for people who need a faster pace, and honestly, it probably doesn't get better with a foundation from AF.

For the tutor, this seems like the best option to me, one-on-one sessions, no distractions, no sharing of the time with other learners, tailored teaching. It might be more expensive and it's more than important to get the right tutor off the bat.
The "wrong" tutor will be detrimental even.
So if he gets a good tutor, and is willing to do the work...

sad sad sad

Nigerians go through worst form of torture in the hand of the police, BBC did'nt hear of it, its monkey torture they are headlining.

The british empire an a whole has no moral compass to talk about torture in view of what africans went through and still going through in their hand. All stolen fund from here end up in britain, we only hear of it when the sharing formula becomes an issue because they always gun for the lion share

This issue of whataboutism is a terrible plague on a lot of Nigerian minds I see... There's no topic without highlighting another not necessarily detrimental to the other...

Oga two issues can exist independent of each other...
African problems are for us to solve.
It's 2023. Our presidents are borrowing more in a world that has never been freer, further (financially) enslaving further generations, others have moved to a point where torturing other higher forms of life make the headline...

Choose your poison.

Because women go out of shape once married due to excessive eating and laziness that hinder them from exercising and keeping fit.

Before you know it they become potbellied, oversized and unattractive. So it is natural for the man to lose interest in her.

CLB 7 = 62 CRS points plus a possible 6 extra from CLB 9 in CO and CE.......what's not to love and sacrifice one year of one's life for!

Before it was 30 bonus CRS points, then 50...maybe if they up it to 70 it may become more attractive to English speakers.

The new NOC- based draws are here

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/ministerial-instructions/express-entry-rounds.html

French still remains relevant. If you fall outside of any of those categories, have a low score and are still on the fence about french, here's a sign to start or to continue.

The current CRS based system is still in place and will run alongside the new system.

Looks like the category based draws will be added to existing draws. So in the same way they have CEC only or PNP only they may have category based but it seems the All Program draws will also continue alongside as happens currently.

Hi everyone,
I recently started learning french, I have a tutor but I feel learning is going kinda slow.
I want to write the exam before the end of this year. I need tips on how I can learn the language fast please

In my humble opinion, that "slowness" is needed at the beginning if you just "recently" started.
Before even thinking about TEF/TCF, you MUST first learn french, that means getting used to forming the sounds, hearing it and basically living it as much as you can.
You need to reach a CEFR B1/B2 for that.
But still if you feel your tutor is slow, you can try IEF or the Alliance Française accelerated program.

Scammers not kidnappers. The format is over 30 years old.
I encountered them in 2008 at mushin on my way to ican office . A man pretending to be senegalese who had consignment of laptops and phones. Plus one idiot standing nearby convincing me. He promised me money and gadgets . The so called senegalese was leading us while the other guy was with me at the back. How Senegalese take sabi road lol. As we got to where my bus was loading i quickly crossed road and left them. They are scammers. You would have emptied your account and be asked to go home to bring more. Once you are greedy you go fall

Not only scammers, but kidnappers too. I was in my school uniform in secondary school when a scenario close to this played out... What money did a junior secondary school student have to give them?
May we not remain in their company long enough to find out if they're kidnappers or scammers...

Below are the edits of the statistics about how black women have been constantly rejected by white men , who they hitherto worship. Data also show that black women drop a lot of standard once it's a white male in the picture. For a white male, he can be making $34k a year, but as long as it is whiteness, black women wil marry him. But for a black male, he needs to be up in his games, make $200k a year and ridiculously good looking too.

Data also show that black women became pro black after having been used and dumped by white men. That's why you see statement like "black women only want to date black men" "black women enjoy black men". That's just a coping strategy

IELTS is for English, else you mean TEF/TCF.
As for the learning time yes, but it depends on how much time you can invest.
As for the last question, I haven't seen anyone use any. So Maybe.
