I passed TEF. It's possible.

[neosupar]

I started as a beginner, living in an anglophone country. If you look up in this thread you'll see lots of tips I shared as well as my background. Hope this helps

What is your recommendation for Speaking practice? how anyone can do that?

I did the tef twice over 2 years ago, first got c1 listening clb 10, b2 reading clb 6, 1 point shy of a 7 and b2 in speaking, clb 7.

My issue was with the writing part, I got a clb 5 in both cases. I am trying to improve my grammar. I learned my french by listening, and reading came easy as I already speak many other latin languages fluently. I have passed the IELTS with an 8.0 overall and got all the maximum points but I must get a CLB 7 in TEF to be invited to apply.

Any writing resources?

The best place is to find in your city a French language centre, if there is one like Alliance Française.

Then hire a private, full-time tutor as you need B2 (advanced intermediate). If you hire someone one on one through Alliance Francaise and pay for full time instruction that would be intensive.

Only in Canada. If you need to be fluent then you need to spend time (months and months) and money to immerse yourself in the language.

How much per hour are you willing to pay? There are numerous online tutoring sites in Canada. Expect to pay $20+ per hour. Do you speak any French. You start at A1. Alliance Française is good if you have a centre near you.

Hi! I am new to French as well, aiming for at least CLB 7 to get the 50 points bonus (current CRS is standing at 443 due to lack of work experience as I've been self-employed for more than 2 years and my partner's IELTS score is not high enough).

Will be starting my intensive course with IFI 3hrs/day M-F!

Anyway, thanks for TS for sharing the inspirational story. Best of luck for all of us =)

French is my second language. I have prior knowledge. Resources on TEF are as much as TCF. Therefore, I checked youtube for test tips, content and timing.
I have TCF materials though if you will sit for it.

please share the materials, my mail id is vastavikta.gandhi17@gmail.com, merci beaucoup
