Dear community, 
 
Most of you are interested in studying the English language and to truly understand a language and integrate it, it's important to remember the cultural aspect. That is why we have created this culture quiz for you to test your knowledge about several countries in which English is one of the official languages.

How it works

In this quiz, there are three multiple-choice questions to answer in the comments below. Once all questions are answered correctly, we will post a new question for you to answer to keep the quiz going! One little note, no Wikipedia/ Google allowed. ;-) 

The Quiz 

 

New Zealand

1. In 2023, Matariki, the Maori New Year falls between

a.       late August – early September.

b.       late May – early June.

c.       late February – early March.

2. Over 90% of the population can read and speak in three languages:

a.       English, Spanish, and Creole.

3. Traditionally, Filipinos carve the images of their anitos (gods and goddesses) and ancestors in which material?

I look forward to seeing your answers! Good luck!
