Good morning Mrs Tanu Sharma, Thank you for this video.

[@sebastianclifton29]

I am learning from BeBarters; they have pre-recorded lectures covering all the grammar topics, as well as weekly speaking, reading, etc live practice sessions; the course is designed specifically for cracking TEF within 9 months to an year, and it's great so far.

[@tanusharma01]

Thank you for sharing your experience, it would be very helpful for other TEF aspirants!

[@johnsnow3279]

how much it cost?

[@bhumisuthar7850]

informative 😊 Could you make a video on how you managed to study while working full time or being a new mother. What used to be your detailed strategy to make time for this from the beginning?

[@tanusharma01]

Sure 😊

[@harpreetbajwa1349]

Hi Tanu, Another gem of a video... thanks for all the effort. In one of your videos you had mentioned about the TEF fb group which helped you immensely as well.. Can you post the link of the same here... I tried searching but there are multiple FB grps of the same and some of them are just endorsed by teaching classes

Alliance francaise chd can cover A1 and A2 level in much lesser time !

[@jyotiantil1996]

Hey Tanu Please guide a bit more for the writing part initially how to get used to write more and more

[@tanusharma01]

Hey Jyoti! Sure, will try to talk more on this. In general I would say choose a topic of your choice and start with writing 1-2 paragraphs and then write more until you feel bit more confident to start practicing letters and faits divers for the exam

[@muhammadzulfiqar78]

Very encouraging and motivating. You're a motivation for individuals like me to get out of my comfort zone and start learning. I'm planning to start my learning journey with Loredane Nolent for 1v1 intensive bootcamp. Do you recommend her?

[@tanusharma01]

Thank you so much! Loredane’s bootcamp is a bit expensive but it’s very good and requires a lot of personal effort to make the best use of it. 5 days classes per week is quite intensive as the name suggests and might be too much for someone with other commitments like a job. See if can negotiate with her to take 3 classes per week, so you have more time to practice and complete the homework. All the best 👍

[@ZackDia-Ptr]

Hi there! Please any tips on ielts? Good References, if any?

[@adi1587]

Hello Tanu, Thank you for making such inspiring videos!! Just wanted to know whether you took eTEF or TEF? And the writing part is handwritten or on computer??

[@tanusharma01]

Hey, TEF is computer based exam and writing , reading and listening sections are conducted on computer / laptop and speaking is conducted face to face with an examiner

[@adi1587]

@@tanusharma01 Thank you 🙂

[@ParminderKaur-yi6zq]

Hi Tanu, I’ve just started learning French. Could you please share the roadmap to learn French? I mean the right order of learning. Thanks

[@tanusharma01]

In this video - “my first 6 months of french learning journey” I have shared my step by step study plan and materials which you may find useful

[@sabeataqi7544]

Any advise on private classes. I mean the best teacher i can take classes with?

[@seles_sohal]

Can you recommend classes for B1 ?

[@augustinejose48]

When we study new words should we study its conjugations in all tenses or just remember its masculine or feminine,?

[@tanusharma01]

Yes, it is better to learn vocab / words with articles le or la. For verbs, first practice their conjugation in the present and passer composer form because those are relatively easier and then once you get comfortable to conjugate any verb in these tenses.. slowly learn other tenses as well - imparfait, future, conditional, etc.

[@augustinejose48]

if we miss superscripts of é;è;à , does it considered wrong in TEF or is it neglected

[@tanusharma01]

A couple of mistakes can be ignored otherwise it could be considered as spelling mistakes so it is advised to use accents everywhere possible

[@doctorwho01]

Hi tanu, i have two questions regarding the section b of EÉ. 1. Is it ok to write around 280 words in section-b 2. Is it ok to make all the letters controversial (avis mitigé) ?

[@tanusharma01]

hey, 280 words are perfect. You can use mixed opinion "un avis mitigé". I would use this structure - "1 for and 2 against" or "1 against and 2 for". I think it's better to end with the stronger side with 2 arguments.

[@doctorwho01]

@@tanusharma01 first of all thank you so much for answering,it means a lot! I have been following your pattern of controversial approach, i think it helps to tackle both the side of arguments perfectly. Mille merci 🙏🏻

[@SD-db5mc]

Hi,did you use comprehensible input for learning french.A guy said throw the grammar book and just focus on listening and speaking french, you will be able to clear tef canada.Fyi,he also cleared tef canada.

[@tanusharma01]

I focused on acquiring the language naturally by listening, speaking and writing from early on. However, focusing on grammar in parallel helped a lot to understand the rules and make less and less mistakes eventually. So, for those planning to take a test, I would say grammar is essential. This is based on my personal experience which I’ve also tried to share in my “first 6 months learning journey” video.

[@SD-db5mc]

@@tanusharma01 thank you for your guidance.

[@tseringyangzom5625]

Hi, I have one curiosity. When practicing mock tests, you used to get C1 too or bit less. I am asking this because my exam is in month and with mock tests I only could obtain 30 correct out of 50 in CE. How was your case?❤

[@tanusharma01]

Hey, I was getting at least 40-42 out of 50 in CE in mock tests and 45-50 out of 60 in CO! Just keep practicing and you’ll get there. It is important to identify the sections you’re finding more difficult and focus more on them. Good luck 👍

[@tseringyangzom5625]

@@tanusharma01 thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it and your videos really inspires me. I seem to make few mistakes in all sections adding to more errors in total. You had been doing great during the practice too. Bravo!! Congrats for your great achievement with C1+ . It is my dream!!
