Omega30:
This is the only working advice I can give. If you can't find a good French school on the island, you can visit this site: www.tobidam.com
Click on the French section.
Many on Canada EE thread and TEF thread are aware of the site. You can also contact the site owner, he organises online tutoring. His contact is at the bottom of the homepage, if his hands ain't quite full yet , you can arrange an online class with him.

Good evening house. I don’t understand French at all and want to embark on this journey (studying French). Please I need a good French school. I live around Maryland. And is 8 months ok for me to study and understand French?. Any information please will be appreciated.

Thanks

I think It's achievable in eight months if you attend classes daily and do a lot of studying, listening and speaking on your own too. You have to immerse yourself in the language within the périod.

I started in April. It's quite challenging but rewarding. I attend classes daily. Since you live in maryland, you can first check out Alliance français Ikeja branch (that's the closest to you). Alternatively, you can check IEF Yaba

Thank you so much

Bon jour à tous,
I have had 5 days of classes and I must say it's extremely challenging and very interesting. There are days I doubt myself so much and there are days I'm confident it's something I can do. I have decided to enjoy the language while immersing myself in the study. I encourage anyone who is still doubting themselves to take a leap of faith. Please I look forward to pointers on how to easily grasp the language. Please can people who had 8 months to a year to study this language and was successful share their story.
Merci beacoup et passez une bonne journeé

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 weeks...#JustAnObservation.

All the best & happy studying

Local men wanted to rush it and go for holidays...anyhow sha...

Congrats @Mamaroon!
Aren't you tempted to have them look at your EE again? It's subjective - a new reader might score you differently.
I haven't seen anyone request a TEF remark - wanna show us how? :-)

Good job, this is a fantastic result.

I plan to write in November or earlier if possible.

Concentrating mainly on CO for now. There is a bit of luck to it as well. You hope you get good questions.

My advice is to join the 2 wonderful facebook groups on TEF and download all the material therein.

I participate on the page and I have learnt a lot.

Next week, CE begins......

Congratulations @Mamaroon and @Scard. These are very good results. You obviously worked very hard for this (C2 in CE really). May not be what we expected but ca va aller. We need to keep on and not give up. Rooting for you both!
