Hope this "behind the scenes" look at the exam helps you! Are you feeling more prepared??
It does, thank you. Do you have the answers to the online exam? Couldn’t find it anywhere;(
Hi Liz! I was wondering where we can keep our belongings during the exam? 🥲
I'm from Mozambique and my native language is Portuguese (European Portuguese) but I'm here watching your videos :D... I'm in the same situation learning English and it gives me hope that one day I'll become fluent at it... I hope all the best for all portuguese learners.. It's indeed a really cool language :)
I did the exam 4 years ago at University of the Algarve, and obtained citizenship thereafter, however I think the exam ( certainly at the time ) was more difficult than the basic A2 level , because a lot of the comprehension and audio answers are down to interpretation, not just basic understanding ( many of the answers appearing to be very similar). However if you are a very competent A2 level speaker and have good understanding then it shouldn't be a problem. I had done B1 level at a language school and achieved 74% in the exam.
I want to take the exam in june. Having done a couple of practice tests, timing is crucial for the reading and writing. It's easy to get bogged down on a question, so best to move on. I find the Listening quite difficult but I have time to improve. Yesterday was very helpful and looking forward to Thursday
Great stuff Nigel!!
Muito Obrigado Liz!
I am a new expat and the exam and citizenship is my goal in 4 years. These videos are very helpful for giving insight into the exam process and where I need to be with my Portuguese language skills. I hope to be joining you in March to begin classes and work towards my goal.
Wonderful Roy!!
This video is great. And the links are super useful too! Many thanks 😊
Thanks Liz, very useful.
So glad!
Every official document , contract, etc has to be signed like your ID, if you want to shorten it you have to sign your ID when you request it and then always sign like it, traditionally kids write the full name and when you renew your ID on later ages people usually shorten it.
The multiple choice parts of test always have trick questions to make it harder, so the "American style" as we call it is actually the hardest part usually.
Thank you for doing this for us Liz. Listening is a killer!
You are welcome and you will get there with the listening!
Excellent. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
It will be simple for you Liz for sure 😍🤩🥰
Hehe yes it is easy for me, it was more of an experiment to see how it all worked!
Thanks for the inside info, half the stress of these exams is the unknown.
Exactly! So glad it helps!
One thing you did not talk about with respect to the CIPLE exam was accents. Someone who is fluent in Portuguese should be able to understand most accents but this is not always the case. I think I can understand 90-95% of what Portuguese with Leo says. But if the speaker is from Porto, my understanding drops. And if the speaker is from the Algarve or the Azores, my understanding really fades. Also, if the speaker uses many idioms. For the listening section, what accent did the speaker have? Did he/she speak at a normal speed or slightly slower? What do you think would happen in the conversation section if the person taking the exam spoke with a Brazilian accent? Even fluent Portuguese speakers can be challenged by certain accents.
Thanks a lot!!!
You're welcome!
Very interesting. Hey - I'd love to watch day in the life type vlogs from Portugal in European Portuguese. Can you recomend any, or would you consider making some? In Portuese, of course. ;) I've seached a lot in the past and keep finding Brasilian ones.
thank you
Thanks for your sharing! It’s useful. I would loved to join your live but I’m in HK, different time zone! 🙁
Muito obrigada, Liz, para este ajuda muito útil. Eu participo nas preparações que ofereces sem saber se vou pedir a nacionalidade português em dois anos. Até lá vou fazer 76 anos e talvez não vale a pena. Era apenas desejável para que votar nas eleicões nacionais.
So not just talking the streets, but now walking the talk for us! That was really helpful Liz, specially I'd never have thunk they'd have a timed exam without a clock in the room.
And thanks for getting up early for us. See you on Thursday!
I think that you as a teacher could perform this exam on the high level. So it was funny for you, wasn't it? 😉🏆
Muitos obrigada . Eu tenho exame em 4 feb .
Hi Liz. Love your content. It is really helpful. The most important question I have is, "Did you pass the exam?"
Cheers
Hi Liz. Thanks for sharing your experience. I would think at your level of fluency, an A2 exam would be no problem at all.
Haha yes I did the exam purely for the piece of paper I need for citizenship!
The good thing with my upcoming exam is that because of my age, I only have to do the speaking section of the exam. Takes a lot of the stress off my shoulders.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. You are right, there is not enough resource online for Portuguese tests, and for that really appreciate you doing this for us. I do want to take the B2 exam at the end but not sure if I should take A2 or B1 also before sitting for the B2 level. Any thoughts?
(I am really really weak in the listening part) :(
This is so helpful. Early days for me yet. Made the typical mistake of starting out with duolingo so have accumulated lots of vocabulary. But living in Singapore, I dont have access to learning European portuguese anywhere (have searched !). I have 3 yrs lead time to give the exam (for citizenship). Have recently (since Nov 2021) started learning online 1/week with excellent teacher named Sara Correia of Cut The Mustard language school (found her on fb) and she's the one who sent me your youtube channel link. Feeling so foolish that I didnt come across your cannel sooner ! I find listening the hardest....due to the accent and speed and often absence of a pause between words or even sentences. Could you recommend listening exercises pls ?
TIP FOR MEN that MAY apply to learners of the Portugese language...
i learned Thai to a similar level to that expected of CIPLE. The course was entirely taught by a female teacher. All went well and i passed the course.
HOWEVER, when i actually spoke Thai in Thailand i was quickly informed that i spoke the language like a woman !
It wasn't a problem as such as the amusement of the listener helped 'break the ice' so to speak, but it's something worth taking into account when learning how to speak a new language.
cheers
Another great video - thank you! I had a question for you if you may or may not know - I have a B1 certificate in European Portuguese from a university in Braga - this certificate is CEFL certified. Do you know if having this certificate will exempt someone from taking the CIPLE?
Muito obrigada. I am preparing to sit this year. Felt better after yesterday’s session with you but feel I still have a long way with the listening oral. Tried today.does he ask you questions or do you ask each other
For the speaking they will ask you questions unless its a role play!
Jiwan glance at my pdf upload above. All the best !
I'm trying to access the answers for the sample pdf linked in your description but can't seem to find it, anyone know where I can find ?
Interesting. Did they ask to look at your residency certificate? I only ask because the one you showed in the video isn't (as far as I'm aware) valid any more for UK citizens since Brexit! Presumably you have the new one (or at least the letter from SEF, with the QR code, to prove that you applied for it)?
Can you recommend any television shows or music that I can access here in the states. When I search I get mainly Brazilian results, but I am studying European Portuguese.
Liz: quando saberes se tinhas passado o exame?
Se ñ me engano vc fala português muito bem p mim quase sem sotaque, e que já morou no Brasil , mas vc que obter o título em português de Portugal lhe pergunto tem no Brasil algum título semelhante e vc já tem e se tiver qual a diferença dos dois? e obrigada por gostar da nossa língua tão bonita e tão difícil .boa sorte no seus projetos
Is it possible to get past papers for CIPLE, other than the ones above that you have given us already?
How long is the exam good for? For example, if I take the exam this year, but don't apply for citizenship for another 4 years, will it still be valid?
Is there a written version of the exam for hearing impaired people like me? My native language is English, and I can barely have a conversation in that language, even with hearing aids. Restaurants? Forget about it!
A minha memória a curto prazo não é grande coisa e, então a parte de ouvir é o que eu receio mais. Estou com medo que não vou lembrar o que foi dito.
What happens if you fail the exam? Can you take it again at some point in the future or do they only allow you to take it once?
so it is a citizenship exam? because my father is portuguese and i can get citizenship already from that. do i still need to pass an exam to move there?
Hello, Is there any online exam for A1 or A2 levels? how can I find them?
What grade did you get in the test?
All very interesting Liz. You say that the listening tape is 30 minutes long and with different audio sections on it. Is it 30 minutes of listening or 5 mins of audio, then 10 mins of silence while you answer the questions etc? Thanks.
No, it is 30 mins of short texts being played twice throughout that time. The five minutes at the end is silence to transfer your rough notes to the answer sheet. Check out the sample paper online I link it in the description :)
@@TalktheStreets Thank you very much, I should have clicked the "See More" option first. Like you, I'm going to wait until the 5 years is almost up before trying Ciple. Only two and half years to go!
The link for the sample listening exam doesn’t seem to be working, can you provide an updated link please?
updated now: caple.letras.ulisboa.pt/audio/CIPLE_CO_EXEMPLO.mp3
Thank you. It was very helpful:) I did the practice test but where do I find the answers?
They do not publish them. I recently hosted a live session where we went through it and gave answers, email hello@talkthestreets.com to get the replay
@@TalktheStreets thank you. I will.
The link given to the CIPLE exam works, but the site says that there are no exams available. It has been that way for a while.
The website says registration will open in March :)
@@TalktheStreets Thank you for that. I failed to notice.
Hi thanks for the video. You state there's no official course for A2. What do you mean by this as I have completed A1 A2 B1 and B2 successfully by following course outlines with associated books.
I mean there is no preparatory course that trains you for this exam
@@TalktheStreets well I have completed structured courses in the Algarve for the last 3 years.
you look sooooo portugese
If you fail the exam on the first attempt, could you resit another exam some time in the future?
Obviously.
Digo : quer obter.
how much the exam cost ?
I paid €72
Boa sorte, I guess...
What if u don't pass the test? Will u be kicked out of Portugal?
No, you simple don't receive full citizenship.
🇬🇧 rubber 🇺🇸 eraser I rather say rubber ✅ in the US it’s only 100 questions into sections but your only asked 10 out of 100 multiple choice questions from an immigration officer 👮♂️ after. You can miss only 6/10 to pass. After that, ceremony to receive citizenship certificate. We’ll, I’m from the US but that’s for residents
Just A2 for citizenship? I'd think the C's are in order.
