I gained more than French from this site (winks).

Somzee:
Thank you so much.

You are welcome.

In brief, I am a male married with 2 children, my daughter is 8 and son is 5. I also have my niece 11 and a house help 15 staying with us.

On Monday I gave my wife Christmas shopping money to get foodstuffs, hers and children clothing including our house help.

Yesterday my wife went shopping, she bought clothes for herself, our children and nothing for the house help. She claimed that the girl doesn’t need any clothes for Christmas as long we feed and send her to school, the rest is her parents' duties. The girl in question is my wife's relative from the same village. This girl is so nice to our children, she is like a second mother to them despite her being just 15, I have never had any problem with her.

I was mad at her that I told her, if she cannot treat another woman's child well then she doesn’t deserve to be a mother, yes I did said some harsh words to her because of anger. She accused me of sleeping with the little girl which I told her she is mad and she couldn’t stop crying the whole night. This morning she didn’t make my breakfast and refused greeting me back.

Please house let me know if I overreacted

You have a bad wife. You need to know that you have a very bad wife.

The moment she refused to make breakfast it means you are nothing in her eyes.

I thank God I married a wife.

Sorry bro but Cleary she is not a wife.

Somzee:
Congratulations on your great milestone.

Please can you advice me on how best to start, been using Duolingo for a while, due to time constraint attending a French class wouldn't be feasible for now. What's your advice for a beginner like me, thanks.

Get an online French friend. Join polyglot site and you will get many people to practice with.

That is how I started way back in the days.

Listen to radio. Stop listening to naija stuff that might not benefit you. Spend time immersing yourself in French.

I soacked myself in French.

If you are a Christian, watch youtube videos of French/Nigerian churches. Redeemed church is an example. Plenty of English and French translations.


Watch some movies with subtitles.

Goodnigga:
someone reply me na

I am no expert but so believe you can do so.

DexterousOne:
Very frustrating

Still trying to make sense of my evaluation

It is incredible.

ayandee:
I think you have great chances. Try to follow up with the Nigerian uni for your transcripts even if it means sending someone reliable to follow up the processing on your behalf. God will surely reward your efforts with ITA soon.

Thanks a lot. Nigerian system is frustrating;

Mamaroon:
Sir, pls create profile sharpish once you receive the paper IELTS results and add spouse IELTS later. Tie break issues are real!

Congrats on your TEF and IELTS results and all the best with the pending WES and spouse's IELTS.

Thanks, I will create a profile as soon as I get my test result sheet from IELTS. I only have the online IELTS results for now.

Ligxy:
I fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital three days ago during my French class, I'm much better now, but I want to ask if I can get any online help from here cos I may not be able to attend my private lesson till next year....

Sorry to hear that. I hope you are well. Please take it easy.

ayandee:
what's your crs presently?

I did a simulation this morning. I and my other half both have masters. One WES evaluation sorted. The other from Nigerian Uni is taking ages. The Uni is Nigeria is really screwing us up (will try not to type what I realy think).

IELTS and TEF Canada sorted for me (hopefully):

Listening Reading Writing Speaking
IELTS General 8.5 7.0 7.0 8.5
CLB Level 10 9 9 10

TEF Canada C2 C2 C1 B2
CLB Level 10 10 9 7

I have conservatively projected the following partner scores for IELTS: SLRW 7, 6, 6.5, 6. Will aim to take IELTS in January.

473 with the above simulation.

I will wait for the IELTS paper results to confirm it matches with online results and then creat my profile.

ayandee:
you tried. Welldone

I tried but I am old by Canada Immigration standards so I need other things to go our way.

If the results were better, our chances would have been better too.

Age ain't easy.lol

rinzylee:
MOD or BC? Been checking here oooo...No results found!!!

I wrote in the UK.

Fabguen:
Good job! This is sufficient right? in addition to your TEF you should be home and dry.

I wish but not so fast. I am old and so my other half will need to score brilliantly in IELTS for us to stand a chance.

IELTS Exam results drom 7th december are out for me.

Seen my results LRWS 8.5, 7, 7, 8.5. Overall 8.

Na wa oh. I was expecting to score higher in reading and writing. Magic, magic.

So I do not plan to be spend any money on exams. Will create a profile with my TEF and IELTS results and if we are still very far we will go the provincial route.
