I am putting all the time that i have in learning. It only been almost 4 weeks that I have been learning but i am going pretty fast as I am putting all the time that i have for the exam. I am getting a bit bored of reading and listening to the naar netherlands workbook. do i really need to do it? or just focus on the questions that will be coming?

Alright sorry for the late reply, workbook is gonna teach you dutch vocabulary & basic grammers however to answer your question I say (Stick to the questions you have) but make sure to understand the questions and the question formula

I think that would be good as i dont have much of time now. Is the speaking part hard?

I will be going to the Dutch Embassy in Srilnaka end of this month to do my exam.

No it is not hard at all IF you manage to understand the questions and have good set of vocabulary

do not sweat it

Just go through the question in part and re do it the next day and so on and then re do it all

You can do it MM

Good Luck

1) I am doing the Naarnederland e-program. Is that enough on its own or do you still need to get the workbook, dvd etc as I see you also referred to the workbook in one of your posts.

In this post & on my youtube channel I only suggested the Photobook for the KNS exam, however I also suggested Dutchtutor for starting up Dutch classes in a smooth way, I personally find NaarNederland complicated but that's just my opinion.

2) If the e-program on it's own is sufficient does it give you practice and knowledge to pass the exam?

NaarNederland is too comprehensive so here's my detailed answer

For KNS exam (NaarNederland) << If you already bought the e-program package
For Speaking & Reading exam (DutchTutor) or (InburgerenRD)

This is the shortest way to study & practice & take your exam.

Hope this answers your questions

@Abdirashiid Abdi Well, someone's best way could be the hardest for you.

Based on my experience. I studied for the KNS for like a month because I thought I was only sitting for only one to know how the exam is. But two weeks before the exam my partner confused me to sit for the reading. Because she couldn't wait for any longer lol So, I started preparing for the reading. 1. I started with Duolingo and then the alphabet to understand the sounds and provocations. She discovered how fast I was able to assimilate.

She hinted for me to write the speaking. Meanwhile, she paid already paid for the exams earlier. So I had like 24 hours to prepare for the speaking. In which I only memorize the 432 questions youtu.be/J9bwxRrRFtE . And the 60 which is the first part. youtu.be/s4pJ6exOOGY

The YouTube helped a lot and I was able to get some tricks for fast assimilation.

Like words that ends with Vindt is likely ( vies, niet leuk, leuk, niet goed. And voor is likely( familie, mijn partner, kinderen.

Hij vindt dat.... (Leuk/niet leuk)

Hij doet dat...(elke dag)

Or (Alleen)

Hij gaat... (Werken/slapen)

The KNS was the same questions and pictures as my experience in Kigali.  youtu.be/STE7eAASDtk

The speaking was also the same questions but the pictures were 99% similar. Note: answer with just one WORD OR TWO. be precise.

This are my questions for the first part of the speaking :

Hoe gaat u naar uw werk?

Hoe vaak bent u al in Nederland gewest?

Waar woont u?

Wat doet u in het weekend?

Wat hebt u gisteren gegeten?

Wat kookt u graag?

Wie wonen bij u in huis?

Welke dieren vindt u leuk?

Wat vindt u van Nederlandse mensen?

Can't remember the last because of the accent

The reading is the most difficult because you don't know what to expect. Especially the comprehension parts. It's broken into 6 reading passages with two (2) questions each

I passed with

Reading (6) two weeks ( including speaking(24hrs)

Kns( 10) 1 month

Speaking (9) 24 hours to study
