The country globally popular for its variety of rich opportunities, Canada, became a bilingual country with French and English as its official language in 1969. Nearly 98% of the population speaks either of the two languages or both. 

When it comes to spoken French, the language plays a great role, not only in the academic curriculum but also in acquiring a good place in the society. Having known the language opens a big door of opportunities for the residents or for the new immigrants. 

Of course, a language as belle as French has its advantages but obtaining it can pose some challenges. To help overcome these challenges French tweets provides you with all the knowledge you will ever require in learning this tricky life skill. 

For our aspiring immigrants, in order to acquire the Permanent Residency of Canada, the candidate has to undergo specific exams which test the individual’s language proficiency, such as TEF Canada i.e Test d’evaluation de Français pour le Canada and TCF Canada, i.e Test de Connaissance du Français pour le Canada. TEF Canada and TCF Canada are French Exams consisting of 4 major categories. With minimum distinction between the two, TEF French Exam as well as the TFC French Exam are made up of 4 major categories. Amongst all, reading, writing, listening and speaking, for many, the one category that requires thorough polishing is the skill of listening. In the TEF French test, the listening category contains a total of 60 questions which are further sub-categorised into 4 sections of its own. These sections can further be broken down as-

Section A asks the testee to match the voice with the text;

Section B consists of a short message to decipher; 

Section C comprises listening of a long message to decipher and 

Section D uses phonetics to test the proficiency skill of the individual. 

The person undertaking the test has to do so within a duration of 40 minutes. Each question has 6 points and out of a total of 360 points, a score of 249-279 plus is marked for qualification of level 7. In layman terms, in order to reach level 7, the examinee has to get at least 41-47 questions right.
