Here goes....






Thanks @Mamaroon.

Thanks for the corrections.

The expression "Tasse de the" actually does exist in French. I have heard native speakers use it. - See link: http://www.linternaute.fr/expression/langue-francaise/4924/ce-n-est-pas-ma-tasse-de-the/

Concerning the expression "Par ailleurs", in this context it means "Furthermore" see the [url]link:https://www.francaisfacile.com/exercices/exercice-francais-2/exercice-francais-76932.php[/url] where I picked some of my ideas.

Merci quand meme. I really appreciate

I thought you had to do TEFAQ for Québec

Quebec accepts DELF, TEFAQ (Which is just speaking and listening), TEF and TCF

For those considering TEF....whatever you do, if you are anxious for the results to be released quickly, please don't write the exam around a holiday period e.g. March ending (Easter), July ending (Summer) and November ending (Christmas).

I cannot confirm what happens at other times but during these 3 periods it looks like it takes at least 6 or 7 week...#JustAnObservation.

All the best & happy studying

No word on your result yet?

hello, i am also studying french, am currently in intermediate level. am hoping to write TEF December.
please what strategies did you use before taking the exam ?

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.

DexterousOne:

Thank you for this

I'll really have to learn all these tips man.

Since you have written the test before, I would like to ask how the listening usually is

Like what is the quality of the audio?
Is it tough?
Or the audio is simple to understand

In the context of audio quality, it was clear.

For the most part, it is a passable exam, just like IELTS.

However, the toughness of the Listening questions, is a function of your own understanding of the language.

You can get past listening questions here: https://teftextelongs.home.blog/

All the best Bro!

Ashame ke? Don't be o. See speaking shocked nice one. Abeg you try. Are you planning on rewriting?

Yes O! I don't have a choice but to rewrite.

As for the speaking, the trick is to appropriately use a French Idiomatic Expression. Even if you are an A2 level speaker, you'd get a C1. This was a tip I got at Alliance Française.

Hi guys.

I'm new here.

I'll like to join any whatsapp group created for TEF.

I want to learn French. Thanks

If learning French is your reason for joining a TEF WhatsApp Group, I'd suggest you try going to Alliance Francaise or Institut Francais depending on your locale to learn the language.

If you find Alliance and Institut Francais too pricey, try going for a free online course for beginners supported by the French Government: https://www.fun-mooc.fr/courses/course-v1:dgef-interieur+134003+session01/about

Another one for Intermediate level can be found on Coursera for Free:
https://fr.coursera.org/learn/etudier-en-france

To pass TEF, there's tonnes of nuggets on this particular thread.

All the best.

Hi, check this link

https://www.nairaland.com/4672912/all-tef-candidates-canada-immigration/8#72961976

Permit me to add, if you make use of a French idiomatic expression while speaking, you'd score a C1.

Example: Mettre du piment dans ta vie which translates to Spice up your life

or Ce n'est pas ta tasse de the which translates to Its not your cup of tea

I did this in my latest attempt in July in PH and it fetched me a C1.

Yes na!!! 160k is not beans grin

...but B1 is 1 point so they are still right because anything less than B1 gives zero points so why allow someone to spend money and get zero points for it....after waiting for 8 weeks o.

Wey our PPR na?....this Ontario people should take time o!

B1 actually gives you Zero points. If you score a lower Band B2 being CLB6, you'd score 1 point.

AF have moved to their new location 6 Osborne, Ikoyi.

In other news, only Feb TEF result is out...March TEF, not yet...they said 40 working days....it's been 30 days if I remove Easter Monday and Good Friday....maybe by May 24 is my guess.

#TheWaitContinues.......

Your result is most likely ready, just tweet at them, using this handle @FrAffaires asking for an update. That's what I did to get my result when they wasted my time.

Bonjour a toutes et a tous.

S'il vous plait, je voudrais savoir la difference entre TEF et TEF Canada. Parce que je suis en traine de m'inscrire pour l'examen, mais je dois choisir entre le deux et je ne sais pas la difference. Je voudrais l'utiliser pour voyager au Canada mais estce qu l'un est plus facile que l'autre? Merci de repondre

Par rapport, ils sont pareil sauf que, le TCF a trois devoirs dans l'epreuve l'Expression Orale, en revanche le TEF a deux.

Bonne chance

As at this morning, AF PH confirmed they haven't received the results for the 5th September session. Weird considering we're now in the 8th week!

I wrote the said exam and the challenge is coming from the guys in France, who mark the scripts. I have written to the Examination Body in France as at last week, and got a response, saying that they are making best efforts to have the results ready.
