Good morning people. Please is there anyone that has removed a credential such as BA degree from WES ongoing evaluation ? If yes, how long did it take for your status to get updated? I need to remove my BA degree as it's slowing my evaluation, but I want to be sure I won't regret it by waiting longer for update. Thanks in advance for your response.

my husband did. It took almost a month

Goodnigga:
wow!! How many hours per day ?

3hours

Goodnigga:
wow, congrats. You are an inspiration!! You said classes were everyday, is Saturday & Sunday inclusive? How many hours a day? Thanks

I attended Mondays to Fridays only.

Goodnigga:
sis, have you entered the pool? Or what next after your faboulous TEF results?

I'm in the pool. Awaiting ITA. Crs 470

TripleAyo:
Congrats to Mamaroon and Ayandee.
You don't know how you both have encouraged me to learn French to boost my scores.

I'd like to ask the house and I won't mind your contribution too between Alliance Francaise (the Ikoyi one to be specific) and IEF Yaba, which one would you recommend for someone who only understands a bit of French.

Thank you in anticipation

thanks for the mention. As regard your question, much would depend on your peculiar circumstances. If Alliance Francaise is close to your office or residence, it may be convenient for you to go to AF.

I studied at IEF and I must confess I got good value for money spent. The classes were intensive (everyday classes) and they were small (4 or 5 students) so participating in class discussions/work was unavoidable.

I observe that irrespective of the class, the curriculum is structured towards preparing students for TEF as almost everyone is there for the same purpose- learning french to pass TEF. I also observe that listening forms an essential part of the learning process.
Also, students are evaluated from time to time to monitor progress. Even before registering for TEF, you are assessed internally to ascertain your level of "preparedness".

However, I must warn that whether you go to AF or IEF, you would do much of the work yourself. While classes are important, learning French to pass TEF goes beyond the classroom. The activities you do outside of the classroom to improve yourself daily would determine how fast you would progress.

Bon courage!

Madam you don't have any problem at all. Next draw soup you must chop inside. Just arrange ur documents while waiting.
Congrats once again.

Amen. Thanks.

Mamaroon:
Ayandee.....by God's grace, the next ITA will not pass you by.....eyes on Dec 11.....I would even suggest you book for Medicals, if not already done. PCC nko? And employment and bank ref letters? Just spend the next 2 weeks getting these sorted.

thanks mamaroon.

Proof of fund question. Where land which is jointly owned by husband and wife is sold, can the funds be paid directly by buyer into wife's account being PA? Or deposited in husband's account who then transfers to the wife? Any form of documentation required between husband and wife?

To prove the source of funds, will deed of assignment executed in favour of the buyer be sufficient?

The remaining funds would come by gift from a close relative. Is a notarized deed of gift sufficient?

Still selling

Half plot of land measuring 30 by 120 at Wawa just before Arepo. It's about 7 minutes drive from Berger bus stop in Lagos. It's behind the well-developed cityview estate.

My husband and I are the direct owners of this land. We planned to live there due to its proximity to the major road but our plans changed cos we are relocating.

Asking price: N4 million negotiable

Kendumazy:
Hmmmmmm. Probably lended someone money and the person doesn't want to pay back. Thought, the best way to go about it is to kill her. Car or motorcycle hire purchase now is risky sef. Heard a scenario where the rider wanted killing the bike owner so as to inherit the bike. Wickedness, selfish, evil people everywhere. May her soul rest in perfect peace and may her killers never find peace.

it happened in my neighbourhood a few years ago. The rider of a motorcycle actually killed the owner and dumped his corpse behind the fence. He was caught.

inforesource:
No location?

Yaba Lagos

Chapter1vs6:
where is your location... Do you have a laptop or phone that can operate 2gig ram

Yaba Lagos. I have a laptop

I need someone with hands-on experience who can teach me excel and powerpoint up to very advanced levels.
PM me

ThowLou:
The high CRS scores have been scary and it’s not my prayer it skyrockets but I am just trying to prepare for any possibilities. I am evaluating with a Nigerian University that is yet to release results after 8 months of completing the program. Hopefully result is released before year end so I can begin transcript processing. I cannot afford the expensive tutoring hence the reason I am seeking other possible options of tutoring for French language

with a crs score of 481 you don't need french unless you just want to learn for personal development

DanMisla:
Congrats!! Brilliant performance...
Best wishes for the next steps!

thank you.

captainhoo:
Congrats on your TEF victory. Did you use any other materials for learning and preparation apart from those already shared on this thread ? If yes, please can you share with me. Thanks.

Was it only the French music that helped you in your listening , any other tips for the listening please?

I used the materials shared on this thread and followed the Facebook group "comment se preparer pour TEF" where members posted exam questions recently done.

For the listening, the listening sessions at IEF really helped. We consumed a lot of audios (class appropriate audios) in class. They formed an integral part of the teaching even long before the exams.

I did a lot of listening on my own too. Bought a bluetooth speaker which became my companion while driving and doing house chores. I listened to anything french- news, podcasts, and my favourite TV5 programme (les maternelles d'Afrique anchored by Angela) Music is just one of them.

brogxy:
Ok thanks. What's the lecture schedule and rate.

It's 20k monthly. Mondays to Fridays. They have also weekend classes. You may call IEF for more details 08168338757

brogxy:
Thanks.
By you saying A1, does it mean you could do basic like greetings ( salut à bientôt), order at a restaurant ( je voudrais un tasse de thé Avec un pain, une table pour Deux personnes s' il vous plaît), work ( he travail chaque jour), etc.
I have learnt these and more using an app (Duolingo).

no. I couldnt do any of these before the A1 class.

brogxy:
Please I will like to understand you better.
You said you started in April, did you know nothing that April.
I can see you passed already. Was it the period you used in learning to get that result.

Before april, I knew bonjour, au revoir from my secondary school knowledge of french. That was all. I started from A1 in April.

Kennyyo:
Congrats.

thank you.

adebayoolatunji:
please how were u able to comprehend with the speaking aspect. How long did it take you before u were able to achieve it and can u please recommend the materials u used for the speaking

what worked for me as regard speaking:
1. I had a lot of practice sessions in class. The classes were small, usually 4 or 5 persons and we took turns to speak on different subjects contained in the study texts. The classes were very conversational. You can't hide. We also did audio-miming on several occasions.
2. I went on speaky app and was fortunate to get a wonderful Tunisian guy. He calls me for one hour each day. That gave me the opportunity to practice outside the classroom too. I have never experienced such magnitude of dedication from someone I have never met. In exchange I'm teaching him English now.
3. Before meeting the Tunisian guy, every saturday I had one hour conversation classes with one guy. I used to pay him per session. That lasted for 6weeks. It wasn't intensive enough.
4. While preparing for the exams, my teacher simulated different TEF EO situations, condemned my responses on several occasions. He pressed on till I was able to speak with some level of spontaneity. That's important.
5. I joined the duolingo Lagos french club. I attended the monthly meetings. In short, I was in for anything french outside of the classroom. If it was a french event and I was aware, I must attend.
6. Songs also. My teacher encourages this and gives us french songs from time to time.

magastefan:
Congrats bro....this is inspiring.

thank you. I'm a sis

I disagree. My father died when we were young. I was 9. The first born was 16. Two years after his death, we could no longer afford rent. So landlord asked us to leave.

In his lifetime, he bought 3 plots of land in a remote area of Lagos and fenced the plots. He was building a small 4bedroom bungalow on a section of the land when death came calling. He had roofed it but it was not plastered. It had no ceiling.

My cousin who lived with us then (God has blessed him too today) did not even look at the quit notice twice. He went there the following day, cleared the thick bush singlehandly for 3 days and even brought plenty bush meat for us. He encouraged my mum. We sold part of the land to complete the building and put a gate.

That property covered our unclothedness, our hunger. No one knew how we survived. My mum planted vegetables, maize, cocoyam, pepper, tomatoes, raised chickens. We were never hungry. There was always something to eat. It was a place of refuge for us. Several years later, a telecoms company leased part of it for its base station.

As a man if you are reading this, please try to get a property no matter how small. In Nigeria, it is a safety net. Dont leave your family stranded.

Mummychichi:
