Sightly nervous for Bianca's Dutch test tommorow.
Tomorrow is an important day.
Bianca will have to face the first 3 out of 6 tests to show that she has integrated in the Netherlands.
It's a test that anyone that wants to live in the Netherlands must take (except if you are from the EU and some other countries).
Mainly it's important that you can speak, read and write the language at a certain level and have some knowledge about the country.
She is doing well, but she's very nervous for tomorrow. (listening, reading, knowledge)
I asked for a picture with us while she was studying but for reasons I don't understand that wasn't allowed so this older one has to suffice :)
I'm terrible at spelling and I can't be more grateful growing up in a time of word processors. (without those my posts would look horrendous, or would take an insane amount of time looking things up in a dictionary.)
I doubt I will be able to help her in that department much but I do have some knowledge about my own country or so I thought.
She showed me a test of 40 questions and we went through it together.
Most questions were fairly basic and easy but some....had me puzzled....
Like this one.
Question: You are waiting for the bus. The bus arrives and you see the driver is a woman. What do you do?
- Tell her she shouldn't be allowed to drive.
- Wait for the next bus.
- Nothing.
If I'm honest it never occurred to me I had options...:/ (It's sort of funny...but it's not really...)
Or this one.
Till what age can you bring your kid to a consultatie bureau (some sort of clinic)?
- 3 years
- 4 years
- 5 years
I didn't even know what a consultatie bureau (some sort of clinic) was or why you would take your kid there. I had to look it up...
I asked my dad later to see if he knew....he had no clue either. (thank god).
In the end I got a 35/40.
Anyway.
It is an important day and I hope she will do well tommorow.
I'm proud of her and she been working hard.
Tomorrow I will bring her to the place and then it's up to her.
Good luck meu amor!

That is because he never took you there, I did!!
Many times we went there, they check if the baby is okay and growing as he or she should be growing etc.
BTW: I know Bianca will succeed! She writes beautifully Dutch.
Thank you 😘
I am sure she will do well for the test... wish her good luck!
Keep your courage Bianca. You will definitely pass. Be cool. A brave man Mark is with you always. So Don't worry. Thank you @exyle for sharing the day.
Thank you!
Thanks, meu amor it's always easier with your support.
Just a small correction: not everyone needs to take this test, apparently just people from emergent countries. Americans, Canadians, Australian, etc, don't have to ;)
You can do it!
Oh that's why and yes I know of these tests it can be extremely nerve racking for anybody.. as to fail can mean many things I am sure this is just as important for you @exyle all the best of luck to Bianca and that question with the lady driver.. what the hell?
I had similar test when I applied for US citizenship. Silly questions! Of course I passed, but I was nervous before test as well. Just like Bianca is. I’m sure she will pass.
Fingers crossed !
She will! Thanks!
GODSPEED Bianca! Prayers that you will breeze through this!
God's best for both of you.
Peace.
Thanks!
✌!
Best of luck Bianca! I know she will do well!
Thanks!
If it wasn't for spell check, I would be royally screwed. :-)
Those questions are kind of funny, in a sad twisted way.
What is a consultation bureau anyway?
If I took this test, and most of the questions were like this,
I think I would fail...
It's a place where they check your kid every month (to see how he's growing, if everything is alright but also for vaccines if you choose so) but also for questions you might have as parents..
Really? Haha... I didn't see that coming.
me neither :)
Good luck tomorrow @bkdbkd we consider you already as one of us!
