Learn languages - bab.la language quiz

All of Europe is abuzz with Euro 2008 fever. Being a novice when it comes to most things football (or soccer, as we Kiwis say), I wasn’t surprised to get a measly 64% on this soccer quiz. Whether it’s because of my extreme lack of football knowledge or sucky German, I can’t say.

Can you beat me?

Typical Miss V overconfidence - I thought: “Spanish! Que facil!”. Then I got 42%. Shame.

St. Patrick’s day is coming up, and I was surprised to learn that this O most holy of days is not celebrated (widely) in Germany. So, Deutschies and Ausländer alike, brush up on the Eire with this nifty quiz (which must have been written by someone super cool).

I guess anyone who had done a little background reading on New Year’s Eve might just ace the test. Maybe.
