Gewoon puur uit nieuwsgierigheid. Is dat vergelijkbaar met een inburgeringscursus hier in dit landje? En hoe gaat zo'n test in zijn werk?
Want ik kan me de vragen voor mijn vrouw destijds herinneren, zelfs ik vond sommige vragen ver gezocht en lastig.
Maar als ik commentaren lees dat zakken bijna beschamend is zal dat wel meevallen.
Betekent dat je nu bijna Aussie staatsburger bent
@afterbang ? En miss bang? Die heeft er geen behoefte aan? Of ook bezig?
Ik heb ooit wel eens wat test vragen van de NL inburgering gedaan, die waren indertijd soms best lastig meen ik me te herinneren.
Hier vindt je het boekje waar je uit kunt leren

En ja, het betekent dat ik nu bijna Australian staatsburger ben. Ergens in de komende maanden wordt ik uitgenodigd voor de ceremony, en dan is het gedaan, geen Nederlander meer maar een Aussie. Beetje rare gedachte is het wel. Die hele regel in NL is een beetje raar, je voelt je toch Hollander EN Australier. Niet of/of. Maar ja, het is nu eenmaal het één of het ander, en ik zie me hier niet meer weg gaan dus dit bevestigd dat dan mooi. Kan ik stemmen over 3 jaar
Miss Bang zal pas AU worden als we ooit nog een keer gaan trouwen. Dat wordt nu steeds moeilijker tegen te houden geloof ik hahaha. Dat is dan haar route naar AU, en mijn 'lifeline' terug naar NL.
