If you are reading this blog post then you are planning to register for one of the DELF, DALF, or TCF exams; or you have an upcoming job interview which will require you to demonstrate your level of French communication skills. Each option will test your oral comprehension and speaking skills.
Many students feel overwhelmed when preparing for their exams because they try to predict the exact questions that they will receive during their French speaking evaluation. The key message that we want to share is to not burden yourself with studying question after question and trying to memorize by following a pattern of : question – response, question – response, question – response, etc… since this is a never-ending journey that can often see you waste precious time as you focus the majority of your energy on the wrong subject or theme. Instead, we recommend that you take a different approach and don’t attempt to predict the specific question, rather, you should focus your energy on understanding the common types of interview question themes. This way, you can be prepared to answer any specific question regardless of the theme presented by your French evaluator.
Over the next several weeks, we will share our DELF / DALF / TCF French oral exam and job interview preparation tips.
Each blog post will focus on a different category of French oral exam question. Within each blog post we will help you to identify which type of interview question your French evaluator is asking you based upon common keyword indicators. Then, we will provide you with guidance and advice on how to best respond by developing a concise yet complex response. Finally, you can practice developing your own responses based upon the shared list of French interview questions.
Each of our upcoming seven blog posts will help you in modifying your personal learning plan so that you spend more on the areas that you need to improve instead of simply conjugating another 1000 verbs.
