From DELF to DALF: Maria’s successful journey with our platform

In the world of learning French, every journey is unique.
Today, we are delighted to share with you the inspiring story of Maria, a determined student who succeeded in moving from DELF to DALF thanks to her perseverance and the support of Exam France.

Getting started: the DELF B2 challenge

Maria, originally from Brazil, arrived in France three years ago with an intermediate level of French.
Her goal: to obtain DALF C1 to continue her studies at a French university.
But she still had a long way to go.

“When I started out, the DELF B2 already seemed like a huge challenge,” Maria tells us.“I discovered Exam France by chance, while looking for online resources to prepare.“

DELF B2 preparation with Exam France

Maria registered on our platform and started preparing for the DELF B2 exam.

“What I liked right away was the clear structure of the program,” she explains.“The modules were well organized, covering all the necessary skills such as oral and written comprehension and production.”

• Maria particularly appreciated :
• Interactive exercises adapted to his level
• Real-life exam simulations
• Detailed feedback from teachers on written work

After three months of intensive preparation, Maria took her DELF B2 exam.
Result: passed!

The leap to DALF C1

Encouraged by this success, Maria decided to continue with the DALF C1.“It was a completely different level of difficulty,” she admits.“But I was confident thanks to my experience with the DELF B2.“

For the DALF C1 exam, Exam France has offered Maria :

• More advanced and specialized content
• Extensive synthesis and argumentation exercises
• Authentic resources (press articles, radio broadcasts) to improve your understanding of French culture

“The section on synthesis methodology was a real wake-up call for me,” smiles Maria.“I finally understood how to structure my ideas effectively.”

D-Day: DALF C1

After six months of intensive preparation, Maria took the DALF C1 exam.

“I was stressed, of course, but also surprisingly serene,” she recalls.“I knew I’d done everything in my power to prepare myself.”

The verdict came in a few weeks later: Maria had passed her DALF C1 with flying colours!
