DELF vs. DALF: What’s the Difference?

Both are official French certifications, but they suit different goals:

  • DELF (A1 to B2): Ideal for everyday communication, study, or work. B2 is often required for university admissions and jobs, making it the perfect choice for most learners.

  • DALF (C1 to C2): Focuses on advanced academic or professional French. It’s needed for specialized fields or graduate-level studies.

For most, DELF B2 is enough to meet your goals. Save DALF for when advanced French proficiency is essential!

Understanding DELF Scoring

The DELF exam evaluates your French language proficiency through a balanced scoring system, ensuring every skill is equally tested. Here’s how it works:

☝️ Total Score: The exam is scored out of 100 points.

✅ Passing Score: To pass, you need a minimum of 50 points overall.

Section Breakdown:

    • Listening: 25 points
    • Reading: 25 points

    • Speaking: 25 points

Key to Success: To pass, no individual section can score below 5 points. This means consistent preparation across all skills is crucial.

Your DELF certificate will display your total score, highlighting your proficiency level to potential employers, academic institutions, or immigration officials.
