It's better you give yourself six months of intensive study. Learning a new language to fluent levels isn't easy. A lot also depends on what you put in.

Fabguen:


Hello, you need to contact Institute Francais Abuja for the next available dates. It's possible the next one is in December but I imagine you're targeting 2020 since you're A1 at the moment.

TEF 4 - 6 weeks; TCF 15 days

The current record from A1 is 6 months. 3 months is very optimistic for these scores. Especially a 280 in reading (that's possibly a C2)

However, just try to focus on your goal and work hard on your French.

Look at posts from @ayandee and @njbybrthnly for what's possible in 6 months.

Ok, thank you

Macy4real200:
Am in Abuja too. Lets connect and find solution to our problem. Maybe we can even have a joint section with tobidam

rinzylee:
Bonjour Toute le Monde!

Please asides Alliance Francais , is there any great French center specifically for TEF/TCF in Ilorin? Alliance Francais is offering me 3 months for just beginners class. Too long for what I need.

Je parle un petite peau.

Thank you

Msadesina:
I just sent you a PM. please let's talk and see how we can make IT happen ASAP

olalekan9320:

Non, sa bureau est en yaba, Lagos.

Joshmuch:
Search very well, but if you can't find one. You can contact www.tobidam.com for both French & TEF prep classes. His classes are pretty straightforward. It's online tutoring.

Omowunmibaby:
How long did you learn French there? And did you start learning from scratch?

Hello everyone, I am considering French exams to boost my scores. I am currently in the process of evaluating my MSC and I have maxed out my IELTS. My estimated CRS score stands at 481 currently but with the high CRS scores recently, I fear that before my ECA is complete, scores may likely go higher. Hence, I am considering taking French exams to boost my scores. I am a beginner with no knowledge and cannot afford the cost of Lextorah. I am considering tutoring with TobiDam and I want to write the exams in February. Is this possible ? Can I depend solely on his tutoring to meet the minimum required scores for French. Someone please advise me. Thank you all.

I believe say na play u wan use us play. 481and u still wanna waste money on Tef. My dear brother don't disturb urself finish ur evaluation,apply and u will surely get an ITA
Shalom.

ThowLou:
The high CRS scores have been scary and it’s not my prayer it skyrockets but I am just trying to prepare for any possibilities. I am evaluating with a Nigerian University that is yet to release results after 8 months of completing the program. Hopefully result is released before year end so I can begin transcript processing. I cannot afford the expensive tutoring hence the reason I am seeking other possible options of tutoring for French language

ayandee:
with a crs score of 481 you don't need french unless you just want to learn for personal development

Some Alliance Francaise schools are just so organized.

Mamaroon:


Understood. This means your statement of result/transcript is not even ready yet. Might you want to try something that gives 2 or more certificates? I don't know how the cost of CIMA compares with TEF (exam and tutor/classes) for example but I know some people use it as an option to boost points (feedback is that it is passable) and it's not Nigeria based so the ECA may be faster. Just thinking out loud.

Enculer:


That is great. How are you finding the golden 85 texts?
I have it all arranged in a table form if you want.

I am working on fait divers tomorrow.

ayandee:
Some are quite easy while some appear difficult é.g Baucerons.
I think i have the table. I have been confirming the answers from it. Is it this?

Amazing result. Your hard work and tenacity eventually got you here. You guys performance have been inspirational to those of us preparing.

I would like to ask a question please concerning your CO and CE. Apart from reading some other materials and listening to Rfi and others. Was it the 85 long text and the 6 listening practice on the same link that you used towards focusing on those two sections that helped in getting CLB 9 in those 2 sections?

Once again, felicitation
