DALF C1

In 2018, I obtained my DALF C1 certificate.

The DELF and DALF are six separate diplomas issued by the French Ministry for National Education to certify the language skills of persons whose mother tongue is not French […] DELF and DALF evaluate language skills in four areas: oral comprehension; oral expression; written comprehension [and] written expression.
