ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

Could you get a British passport?

22:41Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

At the start of 2024, Simon gives Montemagno a quiz inspired by preparation for British citizenship. Questions cover institutions, flags, geography, history and culture, mixing answers, explanations and jokes. Marco contrasts everyday life in the UK with knowledge requiring specific study and recognises some mistaken associations. The exercise ends with ten correct answers out of twenty, according to the dialogue's count. This is an informal conversation with My English School, not an official mock test or an updated requirements guide.
