One Exam, Four Separate Scores
IRCC checks each TEF section against your program’s threshold — a strong average can’t rescue one weak skill. Smart prep targets the skill that’s holding your file. That’s exactly what Dioma is built to do.
Reading & Listening
Eighty multiple-choice questions across two sections. They reward the comprehension you’ve already built through input — timed practice sharpens your pace, but this is rarely what holds a file back.
Writing (Expression écrite)
Two timed tasks — 80 and 200 words — graded by two examiners against standardized grids. They reward accurate, organized French on demand, and that’s built through corrected reps, not grammar review.
Speaking (Expression orale)
Fifteen recorded minutes, graded from the first exchange. Speaking decides more files than any other section — and it’s the one skill you can’t build by studying. Dioma trains exactly this.

DELF and DALF: Format, Scoring, and Which Level to Target
The official French diplomas never expire, and DELF (A1–B2) and DALF (C1–C2) are scored differently enough that picking the right level matters.

Book pages read accross seven books, from Harry Potter to nonfiction
Share of practice that was focused on speaking and writing
Geoff Bloom
Language Learner and Dioma Founder
I built Dioma’s approach to answer a question that I kept hitting on my language learning journey: “What actually moves the needle at the intermediate plateau, and what doesn’t?”
After 10 years of language learning across Spanish and Hebrew, I did a 6 month experiment where I tracked my errors by hand for a year.
Because of my busy life (3 kids, career)- the part of my routine that required feedback, speaking and writing, only made up eight to ten percent of my time.
I decided to build Dioma to close that gap, with targeted practice and real-time corrections on what you produce.
