In the spirit of giving back and also due to requests from my fellow students of Tobidam and friends here too. This is the full gists: It all began last year searching for how to begin my French training. I couldn't go to any traditional language school cos of my busy schedule ,so I was searching if I could get an online school, and luckily, I found www.tobidam.com . Did I know French before? Yes and No Yes because I could speak a little and write too, but No because when I did my placement test at Tobidam, I was told I was still a beginner according to their curriculum. So I started from scratch. Just to be brief, I spent 6months, but It was like a year in 6 months. I booked for private class(12hrs/WK as at then) as against group class so that it can be very fast. The tutor said, if I want to pass at a sitting, I must double the amount of class hours as personal efforts. He also said if I can do up to C1, it will improve my results. So I agreed. So I had to put 28 hours/ week of personal efforts aside class own. That is 4hrs/day. I simply gave my life to French for those 6 months. We do listening ( from DELF A1-B2) for practice throughout, at C1 we started doing TEF listening practice. I did a lot of outside class listening Like RFI, RTL, TV5 monde, Radio Canada etc. For speaking, Writing & Reading was imbedded in the program from A1. I can't move to the next level until I have passed at least 50% of the exam at every level.( internal assessment) After the program, I did Special TEF preparation class: My tutor tutored with 102 CE long texts three times. and the 22 CO long texts three times with some tips on how to master them in order to do well on exam day. I went through them the first time and he joined me for the second and third time. We practiced exam related EO and EE texts from 2019 past questions and commonly repeated past questions. We treated 250 CE TEF blue & yellow version as well as all the 6 CO TEF Tips on exam day: don't be distracted, please concentrate well during listening cos you can easily lose touch. Even if some one knows the answer, do what you know first, otherwise you could be destabilized. For Writing,( section B) I was told to use Subjunctive , Conditional, Future simple where necessary and my logical connectors. Too many strategies I was given to meet the requirements, that time won't permit me to list all. It is paper based and black pen used. That's all I could say for now. Another beauty of attending Tobidam is that I was provided with all the materials needed. I didn't get any myself. And the class is HIGHLY WORTH IT! Peace. 25 Likes 6 Shares |

Hello good people, Here I am ready to begin this journey. I have never had a French lesson before neither do I know basic French language. However, I want to dedicate 6 months to actively learn all levels. Would you recommend online classes or physical ? I can do 3 hours per day. |

Hi everyone! Glad to see the positive spirit here. I just want to encourage everyone to hang in there regardless of how tough it seems to be. Studying French has multiple advantages asides the immediate obvious one of increasing your CRS. Take this from someone who's been keenly following the Canadian labour market trends. As a software developer, I realised there are many people with my skill set here; multilingualism instantly became my selling point. To better appreciate my point, take your time to review most of the job boards in Canada. You'll see that roles that require multilingualism pay up to 20% more than their monolingual counterparts. Most of these roles are in Quebec though but that shouldn't be a problem if you take steps to manage the expectations of the prospective employers. How do you manage their expectations? Do your French language evaluation with YMCA on arrival. It's just like any other French exam evaluating your strength in the four areas of language studies and it's free. Each area is graded on a scale of 1 to 8. With this result, you'd be referred to government sponsored institutions where you could continue your classes for free. But asides this, you should always mention this result to a prospective employer when interviewing for bilingual roles. This helps them place your level accordingly without over expecting thus reducing the pressure on you. Regardless of the province you choose to land in, do not close your eyes to these bilingual jobs. If you could move from Africa to North America, you can always move from Ontario/Alberta to Quebec. Wish you all the very best! 22 Likes 9 Shares |

Re: All TEF Candidates For Canada Immigration, Let's Meet Here! by captainhoo: 10:10am On Feb 29, 2020 |
etrange:Thanks for this tip. Just a quick question, how is the exam conducted. Is it conducted like DELF, TEF or TCF. Thanks very much again. |

Re: All TEF Candidates For Canada Immigration, Let's Meet Here! by etrange: 5:06pm On Feb 29, 2020 |
captainhoo: Yeah but a much more diluted version. You call, book an appointment and go whenever you get a slot. The person assigned to you will just introduce himself or herself, explain the process and give you either the writing or the reading part to start with (it's your choice) and you'd move to the other once you're done. The reading/writing is usually done in a small hall where you'd see others doing thier own English or French tasks. After this, you'd return to the officer's office where they'd just start a nice conversation with you in French and before you know it, the speaking part is over. Then you'd listen to some audio clip on the officer's PC and answer questions based on the clip's content. That's it. He or she will give you your scores right there and you both will discuss the nearest training centre that has classes for your level. There are online classes too. It's free, pretty straightforward and easy. There's no pressure too cause the actual aim is to know from where to start teaching you. 7 Likes 3 Shares |
