Hi, I am taking the DELF test in June and I have not taken any courses. The DELF specific activity book seemed too expensive for me. I just got the following books and am picking it up on my own.

1.Exercises de grammaire en contexte
2. vocabulaire progressif de francais
3. le cours de la langue et civilasation

Let me know how you are preparing. What level are you taking? Mine is A2
Do you have any ideas of the questions asked for the speaking exercises? LEt me know

I am thinking about taking it next January.
I was taking courses last year, but where I live there are not specific courses for DELF because there is no Alliance Francaise or Institute Francais. I was really bored in the courses so I decided to study on my own. Unfortunately, I have not studied at all so I think I am loosing the little French I learned in those courses :)
I dont know exactly which is my level, I always thought it is around B, so in January I will try to take DELF B1.
The only preparation I do is watching French dvds and and reading books in french every week.
I have the vocabulaire progressif de francais, but I havent used. My problem is that i dont like to do exercises. I like reading in french, watching dvds (with subtitles), listening to french radio or music but I can not hold a pencil and do an exercise.
Thats why i need to take a test, to force me to start doing exercises...I bought the preparation book for the DALF instead of DELF, VERY BIG MISTAKE....I had a look and I thought: I can not do that!!!!
I am Spanish and my boyfriend is French, but we speak English because that is the language we met and it take ages if I ever try to say anything in French.

hmm..you have time then!
My exam is in 3 weeks.
I shall post my experience here once I am done. Do you know the kind of questions they ask in the oral test?DALF is harder I guess....vocabulaire progressif is prety good actually....
LEt me know if you know any other books for DELF.

Good Luck to you.
