  3. Familiarize yourself with the format of the test: The DELF tests your ability to understand and use French in a variety of real-life situations. Each level (A1, A2, B1, B2…) consists of a listening, reading, writing, and speaking component. Make sure you understand what is expected of you on the test by reviewing the test content and requirements for your level.
  4. Practice your speaking and pronunciation: The DELF includes a speaking component, so it is important to practice your speaking and pronunciation skills. You can practice with a tutor, a language exchange partner, or by recording yourself and listening back to your pronunciation.
