Learning French in FRANCE to B2? | My experience

[@snehab7152]

That's great Madhura, congrats! I recently came across your channel from our school's Facebook group. I am currently learning French as I'll be in Switzerland (French part) next year. I can totally relate to your background so thank you for sharing your experience and tips on learning french.

Thank you so much! Your comment made my day. It means a lot. Please feel free to ask me any questions on the language learning process. Also please subscribe to my channel! ☺️ There will be more videos coming on this topic soon.

Hi Madhura, Thank you for sharing. I have same background as you and had a same journey as yours. Talking with local people and going to a language school really helps and accelerate the process. I am gonna appear on my B2 this year. It will be great if you can share some more experiences. Thanks

Hiiii, OMG WE LITERALLY HAVE THE SAME STORY. So I’m 20 right now and I’m from Mumbai, India too. I’m also going to US New York for my Masters in Computer Science and I am also learning french since I was in school. I was pretty good at it so after my junior college ie when covid hit my mom insisted I get a diploma in French to expand my opportunities in the future. Currently I am on level B1 and I am giving a2 delf exam next week so I wanted to know the experience haha !

Hi Reem that's great to know. Thank you for sharing your personal perspective! All the best to you. Stay tuned.

How did you get such a good accent? Thanks for the videos

[@ohlalafrance9570]

What is considered as a good accent? How do you define a good accent? Every person has an accent. It is just the way they speak! In my opinion, there is no such thing as a good or a bad accent. Thank you for the comment anyway.

[@jema09]

Congratulations on your excellent score💃🏽🥳. I watched your video and bought the Reussite Delf B2 book that you referred to in the video. I bought an e book, I thought there would be a link to the videos but there wasn't 😒😒😒 Do you know how I can get the audios to that book?

[@ohlalafrance9570]

Hello Bhawna. Advanced level would be C2. B1 is still intermediate.

[@bhawnaadhikari123]

No sorry ma'am perhaps I'm not making myself clear but I am asking as I'm doing advanced diploma from Kamala Nehru College,Delhi University. So is it equivalent to B1? Am I eligible for those job interviews whose eligible criteria is atleast B1 in French?

[@aravindanandan2331]

Great..Thanks for the video..You said you studied at IFRA without paying. Does it apply to students also?

[@ohlalafrance9570]

Hello Arvind. It's a full time commitment. I would say contact your pole emploi conseiller and describe your situation. You need to establish a specific necessity for them to know why you need to learn French. Like you see what I am saying?

There are a lot of questions in my mind so please help me

[@sanyasingh5389]

Great video! Please try and make a video about the journey of learning French and important tips and tricks as for the B2 level. I’m currently in 12th standard but I’m soon moving to Montreal, Canada and you might be knowing that Montréal is more or less the second most French speaking province. Although I am learning French as much as I can through this app ‘Duolingo’, I’m not so confident about the whole progress I’m making as what most can a free app teach you at the end of the day? Thanks :)

I can't seem to find online courses that couldn't finish it in 2 or 3 months. please suggest a website which I could take online classes and finish it during this time. thank you. please help.

[@ohlalafrance9570]

Hello Dimah. First of all congrats on finishing B1 level. It's a huge achievement! For B2 level, I would say follow Français with Pierre lessons. Buy Delf B2 100% réussite and find someone who can correct your written letters which is a part of the Delf B2 exam. May I know which country you are from?

Hi....each level is about the number of hours you put into to it. So if you study let's say one hour each day, it will take you about two years maximum to go from A1 to B2. The key is to practice with your colleagues. Good luck!

Hello. The french alphabets are same as English alphabets. I think instead of having this motive, try to have a more genuine motive such as being fluent in conversation, learning more about french canadian culture etc. Then you will learn faster.
