DELF-DALF – Prep with Learn French at Home

Learn French at Home is truly a wonderful program and further proof that distance language learning is the modern way to go about studying language and culture. I am so pleased to have stumbled upon them after a simple Google search. To add to that, the prices are more than reasonable and fair, and you get what you pay for and much more in my opinion.

After completing a Master’s degree in French 20 years ago at an American university, I decided to take the DALF C1 and C2 exam to brush up on my French after years of neglect in the hopes of regaining some lost fluency and passing the difficult exam. With 10 months lead-time, I enrolled at Learn French at Home and was able to work via Skype each week with one of their fine French teachers. The teachers are all native French speakers adding to the authenticity of the program. After an initial consultation with Céline, I was matched with Marion.

From our first lesson, and in each and every subsequent lesson, Marion was masterful in balancing the written and oral work and preparation required of me to do well on the test. She was engaged, responsive, insightful, encouraging and extremely knowledgeable. I managed to pass the C1 exam this summer. While I understand that I put in the work, I can say without a doubt that I could not have done so without Marion’s commitment and help. With Marion’s support, I am confident that I will continue to broaden my scope and understanding of French and will successfully pass the C2 exam at the end of this year. Marion is an exemplary teacher and Learn French at Home a superb and stellar program so it is without reservation that I recommend both to any student looking to discover the exuberance and joy of the French language learning.

Ma professeure, Emma, est absolument fantastique!!
Elle est organisée, elle explique l’information bien et elle me donne beaucoup de ressources pour assurer mon progrès. Je suis très contente, le format est super.

 

“I am studying for the DELF B2 exam which takes place in June and have completed 11 weeks of a 12 week course with Audrey. The course is absolutely brilliant and totally enjoyable. The method of teaching through Skype works really well, the classes are flexible and for me, each week has been a pleasure.
My teacher is wonderful. We get on so well and we talk about anything and everything, all the while I am putting my spoken French to the test and at the same time learning, as Audrey is writing up any queries or corrections, yet never stopping the flow of conversation. Audrey always has the answers to my (MANY) questions and has a great way of explaining. She always makes the homework personal to me, so that it is relevant to my needs.
I find Audrey to be warm, interesting and patient, we laugh a lot together and she is very motivated and encouraging. I am going to miss my lessons but I am going to avail of some conversational classes after the summer holidays to keep my spoken French alive and to hopefully keep improving.
I would recommend this method of learning to everyone-you will be amazed how quickly you progress and how much fun you have in doing so. Bonne chance”

“Bonsoir Audrey, j’ai reçu aujourd’hui les résultats du DELF B2, et….. j’ai bien réussi ! J’ai eu 24 points pour l’oral! 
Les sujets étaient: 
– Faut-il limiter et contrôler l’usage de mobile, SMS et internet chez les adolescents? A quelle manière? 
– Un concierge dans les entreprise pour les cadres supérieure qui peut organiser des choses privées, comme un cadeau pour l’anniversaire d’épouse, faire des courses etc. Est-ce que c’est une bonne idée?
J’ai choisi le premier sujet. Je suis très contente 🙂. Merci de ton aide !”
