Learning French isn’t always easy! So here are a few helpful tips and words of encouragement from our students in Group B1.2, just before the start of the school year next week!
Learn French
In my opinion, to learn French, you have to be determined to keep going. It’s a little difficult at first, but with perseverance, you can reach your goal. I’d like to share my experience at CILFA. The atmosphere was very friendly, and the teachers are qualified. They’re always available to explain things when we have questions. The lessons and teaching methods are extraordinary.
It’s important to do your homework every day and review after each lesson because that will help you remember what you’ve learned. If I hadn’t done that, I’d probably be having a hard time adjusting to life in France. Sometimes you don’t feel like you’re making progress… but I recommend not losing confidence in yourself. So I want to emphasize that with patience, you can succeed! Keep it up!

Learn French and Take the DELF Exam
I moved to France to fulfill a lifelong dream. Thanks to my husband’s job, we were able to settle in Annecy, and I took classes at CILFA for eleven weeks to improve my French. CILFA is a small school with a maximum of 12 students per class, and I really enjoyed the classes. The course content is very varied, which keeps things interesting. It’s not always a struggle because we have a lot of really fun moments! My goal was to pass the DELF, and the classes prepared me well for the exam. In my opinion, if you’re looking for a school where you can learn French and prepare well for the DELF, you should consider CILFA—you won’t regret it!

Passing the DELF B1 exam
I took the DELF B1 exam in December 2019 after studying French for eight months. I would like to offer some advice on how to prepare, as this exam is quite specific.
First of all, in my opinion, you should familiarize yourself with the exam format. It is important to know the number of questions and the types of exercises involved.
Next, I recommend listening to the radio. The B1 listening comprehension section covers many topics related to everyday life; therefore, radio programs are particularly useful for expanding your vocabulary and general knowledge.
Finally, it is essential to write plenty of practice texts before the big day.
