How long does it take to learn French?
The time it takes to learn French varies depending on several factors, including the amount of time dedicated to studying, your ability to learn new languages, and the desired level of proficiency. We have developed a program called “My French Transformation” that enables students with no prior knowledge of French to effectively communicate and write in the language within 6 months.
How long does it take to prepare for the TEF/TCF exam?
For students with no prior knowledge of French, we recommend first enrolling in the 6-month ‘French Transformation’ program to build a strong foundation in the language. After completing this program, students can then take our TEF/TCF intermediate course, which lasts 3 months to reach CLB 4 or 6 months to reach CLB 7.
To achieve the best results, we advise students to complete all assigned homework and practice as much as possible during the time of the preparation. Additionally, we provide extra resources for those who are fully committed to their French learning journey. Immersing yourself for a full year by watching French movies, reading French books, and listening to French podcasts daily will further enhance your proficiency and readiness for the TEF or TCF exam.
How do I prepare for the TEF or TCF exam after completing the "My French Transformation" self-learning program?
After completing the first phase of the ‘My French Transformation’ self-learning program, you’ll be ready to take the next step toward achieving your TEF goals.
