Exam SpeakingHow do I prepare for DELF speaking?
Updated 2026-06-30
Short answer: Prepare for DELF speaking by practicing introductions, guided conversations, role plays, opinions, and short presentations at your CEFR level. DELF speaking preparation should focus on clear French, useful connectors, and the ability to continue when the examiner asks follow-up questions.
Match practice to your level
A1 and A2 tasks are more practical and personal. B1 and B2 require stronger opinions, explanations, and interaction.
Ask your AI tutor to keep prompts at the DELF level you are taking.
Use French connectors
Phrases like 'd'abord', 'ensuite', 'par exemple', 'cependant', and 'à mon avis' help structure your speaking.
Practice them in real answers, not as a memorized list.
Prepare role plays
Role plays help you practice asking for information, solving problems, making arrangements, and expressing preferences.
