How to learn French when studying in France?
I. Learning French in China
Some students choose to study French in China. Studying in France is popular in China, so there are many good French classes in China. Through training, students' French level can be improved to some extent.
French is one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world. Especially for domestic students, it is a great challenge to learn a brand-new language system after receiving English education in China language environment. Therefore, if you want to learn French well in China, you must take 500- 1000 class hours.
However, learning French in China is never a good choice. Without a good French learning environment, most people around you are ordinary students. Conversation after class is not helpful to oral French.
However, the cost of learning French in China is low, and you only need to pay the class fee, so it is still the choice of many people.
Second, study French in France.
Of course, in order to really learn French well, most international students will choose to study French in France.
1. University Language Center
Learning French in the language center of a university is the choice of many international students. The duration of study in school is generally half a year, and students will be divided into classes according to their level and taught in accordance with their aptitude.
A competency test will be conducted every six months. If you pass the test, you can directly apply for professional study in the university. If you fail, continue to study.
The advantage of learning French in the language center of a university is that after linguistics, you have priority to apply for a major in the university. After all, you studied languages in this university and are familiar with the school.
2. Language school
Of course, in order to learn the language better and learn French more systematically, I still suggest you go to a language school. After all, language school teaching will be more standardized.
Most cities in France have their own language schools, and the number is not small, especially in Paris, which can be said to be everywhere. Before applying for a language school, you must choose the one that suits you best.
Different from university language centers, language schools have flexible study time and no rigid time requirements. As long as you pass the language test, you can apply for graduation.
In addition, although language schools can't give you special discounts when applying for universities, it is also very helpful to give you relevant training before applying for schools.
French requirements for studying in France
In response to the language requirements of French universities for international students, officials of the French Education Center specifically pointed out that different majors have different language requirements for international students, and schools also have different requirements. For example, students majoring in law must have a good level of French, while students majoring in science and engineering such as mathematics do not need to have a particularly high level of French.
It should be noted that if you want to study in France, you need to have a certain basic level of French before going abroad, that is, most students can learn French for 500 class hours. If the language ability is particularly strong, it may be enough to study for 30 class hours, but if students do not study well, they may need to study for more than 1000 class hours. After learning, you have to take a language test.
All students wishing to enter the first year of a French university must pass the French Proficiency Test (TCF), which aims to test the French proficiency of people whose mother tongue is an illegal language. The French proficiency test is a standard proficiency test, and the test questions are very rigorous. According to the test results, candidates' language ability can be positioned according to the six levels set by the European Council, and the test results clearly show candidates what level their French ability is.
At present, the French proficiency test is conducted by computer, at least once a week. Candidates can choose the test time at any time and know the result after taking the test. In the past, it took candidates several weeks to get the test results.
At present, the French Embassy in China stipulates that you must study in China for at least 500 hours (Shanghai may need 1000 hours), and the certificate for 500 hours will be issued by TEF Examination Center. You may have to take a grade exam during your study, depending on the regulations of French training centers and embassies and consulates.
Note: It is necessary to study French for 500 hours in China. The reason is simple: on the one hand, it will be smoother as far as visas are concerned; On the other hand, in France, if you don't know anything about French, it will cause great obstacles to your study and life. On the contrary, it helps to shorten the period of learning French in France and greatly gain time. Therefore, if conditions permit, try to learn French well, and you can't ignore all objective factors in order to stay in France in a hurry. )
