Prove how much French you know with the DELF & DALF

The DELF (Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are official French language proficiency qualifications.

They are administered and awarded by the French Ministry of Education.

These exams assess four skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing.

There are 6 levels to choose from: the DELF is for beginners and intermediate learners and the DALF is for those who have more advanced knowledge.

There are usually four exam sessions each year.
