French language

French is one of the most popular languages in the world. It is spoken in countries like French, Canada, Belgium, Guinea, etc. This language is part of CEFR. CEFR means Common European Framework of References. CEFR tells us how much we know about the language, and it tells us our current level. There are six levels in CEFR, which are A1 and A2, which are essential, B1 and B2, which are intermediate, and C1 and C2, which are advanced levels. The candidates have the option to choose any level which they think is very close to it. Now it is mandatory to have a knowledge of that level for which you will be giving an exam else, you will not be able to clear the exam. Before we start learning this language, we must ask ourselves these questions: what is my purpose for learning this language? What will I get? How much time do I need to devote to learning this language on a daily basis?. There are multiple questions, and these questions may vary from person to person.
