First of all, congratulations! Secondly I'd like to know: Although the inburgeringscursus is mandatory, but now you passed it, was it worth it, did it teach you stuff you will (be able) to use or do you consider it a waste of time and money?
You didn’t show a flag in top with a backpack/schoolbag attached to the flagpole. It shows everyone you passed the exams successfully. Congratulations!!!
@@JoviesHome And incidently in the USA usally the flag is raised every morning at the school if I'm not mistaken. Which makes me wonder what they do on the 4th of july: ironicly don't raise the flag?!?
@@PendelStevenSorry this is very late, but usually in July here in the US there is no school because most schools start summer break in the first week of June and summer break ends in September which children go back to school for another school year. That being said a lot of people do barbecues with family on July 4th and use it to spend time together with their family and friends.
Gefeliciteerd! Taking my exams in a few days. You've given me so much confidence through this video, you make it seem like it's something that I definitely can handle.
Hey! I just started following your channel. I'm a dutch guy but find it really interesting to see about all your findings and experiences . Congratulations are in place!! :)
So good to see you again as that must mean your little princess is hopefully out of the woods and recovering! Hope everything went well and although we are very patient and totally agree that family and certainly kids must always come first... It's wonderful to see you again and with such great news.
Hi Jovie, Congratulations on passing the Dutch exams! I knew you could do it! 😃👍 I am so incredibly proud of you and I am sure your family it too! I can’t wait for you to become a Dutch citizen, I know you will be so proud to become a Nederlander! We welcome you with open arms! 😘
Van harte gefeliciteerd! Ik heb geen seconde getwijfeld over het feit dat je zou slagen, je interesse in dit land was heel erg hoog. En nu ben je er dan ook officieel een deel van, hoe mooi is dat. 'Loon naar werken' noemen we dat in goed Nederlands :)
Congratulations n thanks for sharing your experience ... I have passed all 5 exams in one go... i have also shared my experience in my videos in my native language'Hindi'.
Congrats to you young lady you've done well. Outstanding video also thanks for sharing your story with us that watch your channel. Electrifying talent.
Gefeliciteerd! En nu mag je gaan genieten van je prestatie. En zo goed dat je duidelijk laat zien wat er nodig is. De juiste papieren, op tijd zijn, etc. Pak het professioneel aan!
Congratulations Ms. Jovie for passing the inburgering exam.🎉👏 I want to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing the book that you use, I also bought them since I'm doing self study to learn Dutch. God bless
You can see the grades of your results. Go to Letters in your inburgeren portal, there will be PDF copies of the letters with exam results they originally posted to you. There you can find the cijfer.
What a difference between Dutch "inburgeringsexamen" and the Finnish YKI exam (which you also need for citizenship)! The Finnish exam is not about correctness, but about understanding and being able to speak or write a lot. In that exam keeping your answers short and to the point will defeat the purpose: they want to hear and read what you are capable of. Giving short and grammatically correct answers is not going to cut it: you will fail. Making errors is not a problem as long as you are understandable and you understand others. Thanks for the advices though: my son is having his girlfriend coming over from Afrika and I suspect she will not have a easy time getting the exam. Her native tongue is Swahili (she is not from South Africa). I will send him the link, so he can relay your advice! Thank you!
i think you are amazing you are an inspiration and i luv the way you took on the challenge on becoming dutch and you are doing it, it is really hard to learn our language and to fit in but as far as i can judge you are doing a stellar job , you should be so proud of yourself
Once I applied for my Dutch citizenship it was 1 year from the time they received the application. In fact, they quote a year and if it takes longer you are eligible for a partial refund (my friend got money back!) Congratulations on passing the exams! 🥳
Congratulations! I must say I had it much easier. I immigrated to the Netherlands in 1974. The first week I got a residency permit, found a job the second week and obtained a work permit immediately. A year later the situation was very different and more difficult. I became a Dutch citizen in 1997, didn't have to take any tests at all, not to demonstrate my proficiency in Dutch or knowledge of Dutch history, culture or government. I do believe I would have passed the tests if they had been required.
I do feel the next step is learning Bargoens, which sometimes makes its way all over the country. Like lefgozer, which is Bargoens Dutch: part of our language derived from Yiddish, ultimately from Hebrew. Lefgozer translates to opschepper: bragger. In that meaning. Ultimately 'tuig van de richel' is also Bargoens: bad people. If you watch any Dutch television you'll eventually learn pretty much all of it like mazzel, smeris, bajes, porem... And the Dutch show Penoza is named after Penoze: the underworld.
Hi Jovie ... First of all congratulations on your passing of exams!! I am in the process of starting mine yet battling to register for one as there are no spaces available but will get it done soon I am sure. Quick question ... did you do yours on A2 or B1??
Congratulations and thanks! Next time I am posted a question on how hard hard it is for a a US person to get a citizenship in the EU, I have something to refer to. Each member state is different, and I only knew about Finland...
Gefiliciteerd! I just would like to get the following information: - what does it cost to become a Dutch citizen? - what does it cost to renounce the U.S. citizenship? Maybe you can do another video about that after your 'inburgering'.
I'm a former US citizen right now the fee to renounce US citizenship is 2,350 usd plus exit tax. I recommend going to the consulate to do it as it's one appointment (most embassies require two). The US is one of the exceptions NL along with most other countries makes towards dual citizenship but having been through that recommend to shed US citizenship asap upon acquiring another citizenship as US taxes on the base of citizenship, not residency and the tax codes do not align so you may find yourself double taxed or taxed on certain things that your resident country doesn't. Despite the threat that you may not be able to travel to the US afterwards I have yet to hear of anyone that has been denied.
I'm sure you'll be able to look up those questions and lovely helpful people in the comments can offer great advice too! I don't have to renounce my U.S. citizenship, so thankfully that is not a cost I need to worry about.

Congratulations. Did you also hang up your bag from the flag pole, like high-schoolers do?
I didn't know that was something I could do? Should I go for that?
@@JoviesHome I don't know, ask Daan, see what he says.
I say, you do you!
So now that you know the basics start watching a lot of Harry Jekkers in preparation of your study in the highest level of Advanced Dutch: Haags.
ROFLMAO...............................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Besides Harry Jekkers you need a medical study to speak proper Haags :P (swearing in Haags contains a lot diseases).
@@xXTheoLinuxXx Indeed (speaking from experience)
Ehm... Harrie praat Hagenees en zeker geen Haags. Hij kan trouwens ook een leuk moppie Uteregs.
Gefeliciteerd met het behalen van je examens.
Congrats Jovie
Jovies home thanks akot for shairing. You are a blessing. Question what if i dont go for classes can i pass by watching youtube

Hi Jovie ... First of all congratulations on your passing of exams!! I am in the process of starting mine yet battling to register for one as there are no spaces available but will get it done soon I am sure. Quick question ... did you do yours on A2 or B1??

Congratulations! Proud to have you as a Dutch lady 🤣
Gefiliciteerd!
I just would like to get the following information:
- what does it cost to become a Dutch citizen?
- what does it cost to renounce the U.S. citizenship?
Maybe you can do another video about that after your 'inburgering'.
I'm a former US citizen right now the fee to renounce US citizenship is 2,350 usd plus exit tax. I recommend going to the consulate to do it as it's one appointment (most embassies require two). The US is one of the exceptions NL along with most other countries makes towards dual citizenship but having been through that recommend to shed US citizenship asap upon acquiring another citizenship as US taxes on the base of citizenship, not residency and the tax codes do not align so you may find yourself double taxed or taxed on certain things that your resident country doesn't. Despite the threat that you may not be able to travel to the US afterwards I have yet to hear of anyone that has been denied.
I'm sure you'll be able to look up those questions and lovely helpful people in the comments can offer great advice too! I don't have to renounce my U.S. citizenship, so thankfully that is not a cost I need to worry about.
