Davide would like to go on with D.E.L.F/D.A.LF. training and have the level certified by taking the exams. Furthermore, he needs French for his daily private and business life. He moved to France and has a strong need to improve his vocabulary.  Fun fact: The DELF is a French exam which has been established more than 20 years ago in France and is recognised all around the world. The FIDE is a Swiss exam that was created less than 3 years ago and is only recognised within Switzerland at the moment. DELF goes with questions based more on business, theoretical, and philosophical topics.  Davide took his DELF exam on 24 March 2022 at Alliance Française, Annecy, and since the recording of the interview, he passed DALF C1 exam in August 2022!  Your Super Prof Laurence and the whole Prêt à Parler are super proud of your achievement! Toutes nos félicitations, Davide!   Here is what Davide has to say about his experience learning French online and preparing for his exam with us:    "Prêt à Parler offers a superior service.

In this series, our CEO Isabelle Nicolas discusses with Imogen Hitchcock about her successful FIDE exam preparation. Imogen is a busy entrepreneur who, after living for 11 years in Switzerland, has to prepare for her Swiss passport application. She’d also like to have increased confidence in talking to her Swiss friends and neighbours about more difficult and complex topics – politics, relationships, who should win Top Chef etc. She took her FIDE exam on 19 May 2021 and confirmed she passed Oral B1 Ecrit B1 in June of 2021.  Your Super Prof Brice and the whole Prêt à Parler are super proud of your achievement! Toutes nos félicitations, Imogen! Here is what she has to say about her experience learning online and preparing for her exam with us:  "It’s always scary preparing for an exam but Brice is a fantastic teacher! He's incredibly patient and reassuring. The subjects we covered were all topics Brice and I had prepared for in the run-up to the exam – searching for an apartment, health, conversations about changing appointments. Once the oral exam started, I felt more confident, knowing that my conversations with Brice had been more challenging! I also loved the fact I could choose lesson times around my schedule and the personalised approach to lessons suited me perfectly. Just get in touch Prêt à Parler. You'll be matched with the right teacher for your style, your objectives, and your level." - Learn more about our FIDE Preparation Program: https://pretaparler.ch/fide-express-preparation/ - Learn more about our signature e-course, Prêt à FIDE: https://pretaparler.ch/fide-course/ Read the transcript here: https://pretaparler.ch/fide-exam-with-pret-a-parler-imogen-hitchcocks-success-story Experience the joy of learning and prepare for success with Prêt à Parler!  

In this series, our CEO Isabelle Nicolas discusses with Karen Henderson about her successful exam preparation which led her to obtain her FIDE Passeport des langues in December 2021. When she contacted Prêt à Parler, Karen had already passed the written and reading part of her FIDE exam but she needed help to pass the B1 oral part. Her background is different from most people who come to Switzerland. Originally from the US, she grew up in a small community in southern West Virginia and came to Switzerland with her husband in 2011. Now retired and 70, learning French was not easy for her as forgetting words and having to learn them again were added challenges. Hesitant at first, Karen booked a trial lesson and the rest was history. She took her exam at Université Populaire de Fribourg on 18 December 2021 and happily informed us in January 2022 that she had successfully passed her FIDE B1! Your Super Prof Yohann and the whole Prêt à Parler are super proud of your achievement! Toutes nos félicitations, Karen!
