C'est Finit

Published by jl at 11:20 pm under INSEAD,Main Page

Took my TEF exam today, and I feel pretty confident about passing.  The fine tutors (thanks Valerie) at the language institute proctored the test today and it went relatively smoothly.  I was out the door in 4 hours.  The most difficult section was the oral comprehension; there were sections where I swear they were speaking jibberish and not French.  But all in all, I feel great about my competency in the language, and the exam reinforced to me what I already knew as my weakness – vocabulary.  So I’ll continue to hit the vocab lessons and catch the television lessons shown on TV.  I’m almost done with Pimsleur too, woot.

This also means I have a short respite for the weekend after being sandwiched between studying for this and many work related projects.  Perhaps I’ll pop by the annual North Beach Festival tomorrow.
