B1 for the 10-year card: a 6-month route many people use 🗺️
Since 2026, a first carte de résident (10 years) requires French at B1. A DELF B1 proves it without time limit; a TCF or TEF attestation lasts 2 years. A route many working adults follow from solid A2: · Months 1–2: listening every day (radio, news, podcasts), 20 minutes of grammar a day (passé composé vs imparfait, pronouns, subjunctive basics). · Months 3–4: one written text per week with correction; opinion paragraphs on everyday topics. · Month 5: speaking twice a week with a partner or teacher, using DELF B1 style tasks. · Month 6: two full timed mock tests, then targeted repair of your weakest part. At B1 the jump is from 'describing' to 'giving and explaining an opinion'. Most of the extra work goes into the writing and speaking parts. Remember the eliminatory rule: at least 5/25 in each part and 50/100 in total. And book the civic exam, which is also required for the resident card.
