It's inspiring on how you learn french in just 1 year. I was checking on italki and found out that the teacher's courses are so expensive that I couldn't afford on a monthly basis. How much did you spent in total for your intensive courses?

Dear mam Bandle of thanx for guidance. May I prepare for French language without tutor I mean independently through via Books KZbin videos as well as some other online or links.

Hey, thank you! Yes you can use the resources and books that I have shared to learn at your own pace

[@deepanshupanwar501]

There are many courses of French from Kieren Ball, like 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. Which one did you take? Thank You!!

I would suggest to start with one, see how you like it and then you can buy more. All the best 👍

[@pranaychavan7403]

Thank you for info. I just checked ITALKI TUTOR. What types of lessons you took exactly from Loredane nolent they are very limited

[@tanusharma01]

Hey Pranay. I took intensive grammar classes with her for 5 days a week. It is called Bootcamp. I think you need to message her in advance to check when is her next bootcamp available.

[@SherAli-zy9gi]

@@tanusharma01 hi Tanu, Loredane has 2 bootcamps. One is group and other is 1 to 1. Which one did you study? Also thé rates mentioned on her programs are hourly or for whole week??

[@tanusharma01]

@Sher Ali I did 1to 1 sessions with her. Rates should be hourly but please check with her

[@ParminderKaur-yi6zq]

Hi, I also aim to clear the TEF exam this year. I’m working person and my job is 8-6 so many hours should I study? Thanks

[@tanusharma01]

Depends on a lot of factors like where you are in your french learning journey. But broadly 3-4 hrs per day should be the target

[@sw_dev_chirag]

It's very motivating seeing your journey and success, thank you. Can you kindly share your notes, writing samples etc ? email or google drive share.

[@nishtasnim]

Hiii if you don't mind me asking, may I know how old you were when you started learning French?

[@tanusharma01]

33 years when I cleared the exam and started learning a year ago

[@letitbe227]

Hi tanu, were you working while preparing?

[@tanusharma01]

During half of the period, yes. For rest, I was on maternity leave

[@1980ify]

Hiring a teacher for around 800/hr will be very expensive for us. What's the alternative?

[@tanusharma01]

For grammar - you can use the book that I recommended along with free KZbin channels (e.g. learn french with Alexa). For speaking, practice with a teacher once a week if possible and the rest of the days practice on your own or find a speaking partner slightly above your level.

[@komal.phogat]

How many months did it take for you to learn French and clear the TEF exam?

[@tanusharma01]

13 months

[@jyotiantil1996]

Hey Tanu The teacher you have suggested for grammar classes isn’t responding Though my basics are clear enough, i just want to practice more and more and need the proper material for that Can you provide the pdfs for practice Also do suggest about how to master the conjugations in different tenses.

[@tanusharma01]

Hey Jyoti - the easiest way to master the conjugation in different tenses is to practice them as much as possible in writing and speaking. I have them written on a sheet which is pasted on my desk so easy for me to refer to the list (you can watch a short on my channel on the same). For grammar, I can send you some grammar books for loads of exercises, you can ping me your email id on Insta.

[@PkKu-jn4cw]

Mam plz send

[@syedasamr9667]

Hi Tanu...can u please share the practice materials with me too... I am planning to take the exam after 3 months...i rly hope to hear from you soon....

[@besinobenny1937]

Mam can u tell how many hours did u spend each day. 1-2 hours a day is fine or should invest more ?

[@tanusharma01]

I used to study for at least 3 hours per day, sometimes even 5-6 hours but idea is to stay consistent.

[@ahmedabdurrehman8457]

You took 1 hr/day classes with loredane ? Which package did u choose

[@tanusharma01]

I am currently midway on my A1 level. doing an intensive course with alliance francaise. I have hesitation in speaking. should i start taking speaking classes with her right now or should I start after completing my A2 level. please help me on this.

[@tanusharma01]

I would suggest give yourself a few more weeks and try to form basic sentences on your own, you can simple use Google translator. Then you can start taking speaking classes but just make sure that you know basic verbs (etre, avoir, Aller, etc.) in their present, passer composer, future and conditional forms. This would help you to speak little bit as you start taking classes but you can really improve only when you challenge yourself and try to speak asap.

I understand that you took speaking lessons with Feriel consisting of 3 classes/week and 5 classes/week of 1:1 bootcamp with Loredane Nolent. However, can you please tell me which classes you took w/ Feriel (French Information Tutoring, TEF/TCF Canada preparation or French for beginners)? Also, how long were each of the classes with Loredane and Feriel (30 min.s, 45 mins. or 1 hour)? Thanks! P.S. You mentioned that you were already taking advanced vocab w/ another teacher from iTalki and that helped you get through EDITO A2 much quicker than A1. Was that teacher Loredane and were those the classes that you were already taking with her? Thanks!

[@tanusharma01]

With Loredane, I took grammar classes along with vocab on various topics and writing classes. With feriel, I tool speaking classes, did Edito text books with her and then did exam prep with her for speaking and writing.

[@akshattripathi9718]

@@tanusharma01 Ah, I see...and there are three options to select from for Feriel (French Information Tutoring, TEF/TCF Canada prep and French for beginners); can you please tell me which one you chose? And how long were each of your sessions (30 min./45 min./60 min.)?
