Many people need to take the DELF B2 exam. It’s a great proof of your French level. It means you are able to communicate easily in French, understand documents and write a personal point of view. It corresponds to the Upper-Intermediate level. This is the level required to study in a French university.
Here are some of the questions our students have asked and how they succeeded with us.
Should I take the DELF B2 exam?
At Live-French.net, we first try to identify the strengths and weaknesses of our students to make sure that they are taking the test that corresponds to a reachable goal according to the time they can invest in their French studies.
How should I study for the DELF B2?
Once we’ve determined that they are suitable for the DELF B2 exam, we try to check what parts of the exam we should put the most emphasis on.
The first few lessons are dedicated to this goal. Through a sample exam, we assess what a student is confident with, and what he/she finds more challenging.
There are 4 parts in the DELF B2, all have the same weight for the final result: listening comprehension, reading, writing and speaking. It’s essential to reach a good enough level in every of these 4 parts.
In some cases, we have students who take group lessons in a local school but prefer to focus on the speaking part with us.
How long does it take to prepare the DELF B2 exam?
We then set up targets based on what we feel is necessary to pass the DELF B2 exam.
It usually takes between 3 months and 6 months of preparation. If we only focus on one part, it can be quicker.
We have great resources to help you with the DELF B2. We use a specific book that gives excellent results with our students. They prepare the exam through the exercises from the book. If you decide to go for the DELF B2, we will tell you what book to purchase for the course.
