[jessicabonfa]

Thank you for the video! I would like to suggest that if you want to engage with the french community, find in your city francophone organizations or centres and ask them to volunteer !

[thebookireadsayshello]

Thanks for the video! Can you listen to the oral comprehension clips multiple times?

[ManigandanPrabakaran]

hello, thanks for the video. it gives some confidence to take up the test. i'm trying TCF to get B1 level. I really dont understand my exact level. I understand alot of french when I read or someone speak but i struggle to respond immediately or frame the sentences of my own. can you help me understand from your experience like how hard it would be for B1?

[meenaa]

This is a very helpful video. Thank you very much!

[florenciagauna]

Hi! I'm having the hardest time finding information about this test so I'm really grateful for this video. Do you happen to know if it's necessary to complete the third task of the writing portion to get a B2? Because I've tried to simulate the exam's conditions and there's no way I can complete all three in under an hour :(
Also, in which order were the optional sections? Was it speaking and then writing or the other way around?

[ConnectingwithNature]

Thank you for these invaluable info. I was wondering if there is an equivalent to TESOL certification for French?

[wladimiralves]

I also took the TCF exam a couple of months ago. Sadly I didn't get the score I was hoping for. I did very well in reading, speaking and writing, but I missed two or three questions more than I should have in the listening part. The different accents make it hard if you are not so used to them. Plus, contrary to English tests that mostly require you to listen to the exact word and simply type it down, the TCF requires you to listen to a story or a conversation, while you have to quickly interpret, and give answers that would summarize it or would complete the conversation, having similar alternatives that can confuse you considering you only have 3 or 5 seconds once the whole audio finishes.

Bonjour! Very helpful ..Merci Beacoup 🌹

[nehamakkar]

Do you have the pdf of complete French Grammar book . Kindly share the link

[ahadadil]

For international medical graduates who want to studying France, the required level stated is B2. Do you know for someone who knows next to nothing of French, how much time is atleast generally recommended for learning French from the very beginning and also for preparing for this test?

[laurengoldsings]

Thanks for making this video it's really informative. do you happen to know how important it is to use the right masc/fem articles and accents on the words during the writing section? I guess most of the time ...

[LoseYourself-jw]

What is it like to be A2 ~ low values of B1. Buying food at supermarket??? Being able to make 5 sec conversation with French?

2:00 I can't speak French at all. Can I be A2 within 1~2 months?
