The TEF for studies in France is compulsory for any foreign candidate student to a first enrollment in the first year license at a university in France.
Applicants must meet the requirements for both oral and written tests of the TEF and obtain at least 14 out of 20 in the written expression test to be eligible in the first year of license.

The tutors teach at an understandable rate. not too fast or too slow. The materials are self-explanatory. I enjoy every class. Right now I am learning sentence building, positions of verbs and nouns in sentences in Deutsch (German) language. Ich besinne jede Klasse und mein Lehrer ist sehr gut.

At Lextorah, where I learnt French, my tutor, M. Phidias, was amazing and always so diligent in making sure my understanding was not shallow, but as deep as possible. All the exercises and assignments given are always systemically in line with the teaching to ensure full grasp of the language. The teaching mechanisms are up to date with excellent study materials such as textbooks and DVDs. I always felt so welcome when I arrived every day. Je Suis tres heureux mon Choix etait Lextorah, malheuresement il est seul cinq semaines.

Chinese class has been great, lots to learn and sometimes the thought of that makes it seem all too hard and impossible to learn but overtime with constant practice it started to make a whole lotta sense. i've been able to learn more of the greetings, numbers and ways of communicating basically and with more practice i'm certain Chinese would be more fluent for me, many thanks to Lextorah for this medium. xie xie, zaijian.
