Our approach

How we prepare you


Our DELF DALF preparation in Bordeaux is built around one principle: you should know exactly what to expect on exam day. No surprises, no stress. Just confidence.

Every programme starts with a level assessment to identify your strengths and the areas that need work. We then design a personalised preparation plan focused on the four skills tested in the DELF and DALF exams: reading, writing, listening and speaking.

01

Level assessment — We identify your starting point and your target exam.

02

Personalised programme — Tailored to your level, your timeline and your profile.

03

Exam simulation — Full mock exams under real conditions to build confidence.

04

Exam centre guidance — We help you find and register at the nearest official DELF DALF examination centre.

🐒 The 4 skills tested

  • Compréhension de l'oral — Listening comprehension
  • Compréhension des écrits — Reading comprehension
  • Production écrite — Written production
  • Production orale — Oral production and interaction

Each skill is worth 25 points. You need a minimum of 5/25 per skill and 50/100 overall to pass.
