It's not a bad idea. It could catch on throughout Europe, including the
Baltics.


Hasn't it been the law in Latvia for many years that anybody, who wants
to become a Latvian citizen, must pass a difficult Latvian language
test? I assume Lithuania and Estonia may have similar laws.

Have you Australians discovered the wheel yet? If so - you may want to
adveritise its use throughout Europe, including the Baltics. They are
too dumb to learn it without you...

Also, hasn't it been the law of the USA for the last hundreds of years
that requires anyone wanting to be a US citizen to become familiar with
the language and laws of USA? I certainly had to pass a language and
a history/voter awareness test to become a US citizen.

I still recall how the exampiner said:
"Can you write basic sentences in English?"
"I think so."
"Then write a simple sentence about what kind of education you've had"
So, I worte:
"I am a magna cum laude graduate from Harvard College in Cambridge,
Mass."
He said:
"Your writng is adequate".

That's how I became a US citizen. I still thank god that the examiner
didn't ask me to fully spell "Massachussetts".

Be careful, the USA is known to remove citizenship and deport people if
they discover that a person has lied during their citizenship
application.
