guys, i didn't find the books in any bookstore. i went to Hachette's (the book's publisher) online site and looked for the distributor here in the philippines. unfortunately, the distributor is still in malaysia, so it can get expensive with the customs tax, but of course still cheaper than getting just one french course. i got the lecture books and exercises for b1, b2 and a delf review book for b2 for a price that's roughly a little bit more than the course for 1/4 of b1 (im talking about afm). by 1/4, i mean that in order to finish the entire b1 you would need 4 two and a half month courses in afm (8 modules all in all). :)

ang alam ko 56 hours ata iyon for 6K++. that just for 1 session, or 2 modules. yes, the prices of their modules are the same regardless if you're getting a1, a2, b1... basta 56 sessions, 6K++ (2x per week), then meron din silang lesser number of hours, like saturday class lang. not sure lang kung magkano... you can't enroll from a1 to b2 at one time only... mejo lugi sila doon kung gusto nilang magtaas ng tuition fee, like what they have recently done. you have to enroll every session. there are 4 modules for a1, 4 modules for a2, 8 modules for b1 and 10 modules for b2.

hindi transparent ang Quebec pagdating sa processing nila. I did not find any explanation sa website on how they are going to handle the 20k cap, but since an AOR means that your file is already opened (and fees paid) and there has been several verifications done already once you reach this level, logic seems to dictate that getting an AOR means pasok ka na sa cap. it doesn't seem fair naman kasi na kukunin nila ang bayad natin tapos i-rereject lang dahil over na sa cap...

oh. ang pagkakaalam ko kasi ang QSW program ay sa montreal na pinapasa, mga investors na lang yata sa hk. anyways, if it's for csq for qsw program that you're talking about, ang next step at pag-aantay ng AOR. you should get this via email, mail, or both. in my case both. i got the formulaire stating that they opened my file via email, and then the recu stating that they encashed/deposited the check you sent them.

hi..i tried to read french books from AF without attending their classes, and it seems impossible to learn how to speak french without the actual teacher from AF...yup, you may know the meaning of the word but you will never know the right pronunciation and intonation of those word if you only read those books...anyone who wants to learn french must attend classes in AF or somewhere they find it affordable...

AFM has increased their tuition fees to 4,390 per module (32 hour course, 2x per week for 8 weeks, 2 hours per session)... A1 has 5 modules, A2 another 5 modules... I guess you have to go through that first before thinking of B1 and B2... ;)

You can't learn french just by reading. You have to hear it and speak it as well. It is not pronounced the way it is written. If you want a guide you can try learning french through you tube. search for Imaginier if I'm not mistaken. He's made a lot of lessons and you can learn a lot from it as well. Just give it a try and see if you like it and if not then forget I suggested it. :P

yes, nakafrench yung natanggap ko. unfortunately, hindi pwedeng i-check online ang status ng csq application. pag federal lang ata pwede. you can call them, though, nasa website yung phone number. they'll ask for your reference number.
