Preparation for the DALF/DELF
The DELF is one of the most recognized French language diplomas in the world. Obtaining a DELF diploma is an advantage when it comes to working for a French company or studying at a university.
The DELF preparation course consists of group lessons in General French in the mornings, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and two individual lessons in the afternoon dedicated exclusively to the DELF, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This format will improve the level of general French and focus on the exam. Some of the teachers are members of the DELF jury and are therefore highly qualified to prepare students for the exam.
