“Exaliftin“ is a strange word that appears in the theme song of the World Cup 2010. What does it mean?
Sung by K’Naan, the Somalian-born and Canadian-based hip-hop singer, Wavin’ Flag has become a sensation of the web. In his song “Wavin’ Flag” – the official anthem of Coca-Cola’s 2010 FIFA World Cup program, there’s a short sentence in which he sings about the enthusiastic atmosphere of the celebration. The popular version of the lyric uses the word “exaliftin”, which has no meaning in the English language. We think it is just a simple case of miss-transcription. The official definition of the word “exaliftin” is not a definition at all:
“In the streets are, exaliftin, as we lose our inhabition”
should be transcribed as “In the streets our / hands are lifted / as we lose our inhibition”
Citizenship Coach has just launched a website in Vietnamese to help them with “Thi Quoc Tich My” – roughly translated as “US Citizenship Test”. The website – www.ThiQuocTich.com, is well welcomed by many Vietnamese who seek instruction, free citizenship questions (de thi quoc tich moi) and materials for the new citizenship test.
Citizenship Coach’s plan is to expand the website Thi Quoc Tich into an information hub for everything related to citizenship and immigration. Vietnamese immigrants can come to the website to post questions, have questions answers by immigrantion experts. Citizenship Coach will also make their best selling citizenship CD (luyen thi quoc tich My) available for sale, and introduce immigrants to SurePass, the amazing online citizenship test class that anyone can learn from home, and much more.
For more information about “thi quoc tich My”, please visit: www.thiquoctich.com
$300 or more to have a professional fill out the N-400 form for you
$100 or more just to talk to an immigration lawyer
$1,000 or more if you hire an immigrantion lawyer
Thousand dollars more if you fail your citizenship test/interview
After paying all that, you’d better pass the test or lose all the money!
The USCIS give you a free citizenship CD (questions and answers) and a whole book to study… Wow! However, the book has so much information that you probably don’t have time to study it all. The CD is only good if your English was perfect like that of a natural born American. So, the only good and free thing you can get from the USCIS is the free citizenship application form (N-400). So, what would you do now?
Many people spend so much $$$$money$$$$ on the application and lawyers, and then try to save $5-$10 on the study material by buying the cheapest one on the market. One thing is sure: The new citizenship test is not easy; even a majority of natural American citizens fail that test. Therefore, we suggest that you try to get the best study material you can afford, the book that has only the information you need, and the CD that you can listen to and understand easily.
With that said, be aware that expensive doesn’t mean good! You need to search around, read product reviews, buy from the most reputable sellers.
At Citizenship Coach, if you have $30 you can buy the best citizenship material, or, for just $20 you can study online with real people, at home (while drinking coffee!) do plenty of practice tests, learn English, and more. Go to their website www.citizenshipcoach.com and see what they have for you. Don’t forget to read what their customers said about their #1 best selling citizenship CD.
Sencillamente, la manera en la que estudiamos para las pruebas ESCRITAS es adecuada, pero errónea para la ORAL, las pruebas de ciudanía cara a cara.
Si el Inglés fue su idioma nativo, entonces quizás no importe la manera en la que aprenda. Sin embargo para los hispanohablantes como nosotros, la forma en la aprende afecta el resultado de pasar o fallar. Cuando aprende desde libros o DVDs donde ve las preguntas, tiene más probabilidades de aprobar las pruebas escritas. No obstante, la entrevista de ciudadanía no es una prueba escrita. Es una prueba oral, llevada a cabo cara a cara y ¡en absoluto ve las preguntas! Debe ser capaz de escuchar las preguntas de ciudadanía leídas por un oficial de inmigración, entenderlas y decir las respuestas correctas, todo sin mirar las preguntas. Se dice que el no estar preparado para la prueba oral es la razón #1 de por qué los inmigrantes no pasan las entrevistas de ciudadanía.
Debe evitar estudiar para la entrevista de ciudadanía desde sólo libros, DVDs u otras formas en las que pueda ver las preguntas y respuestas. Por supuesto, tiene que ver primero las preguntas. Pero después, debe de obligarse a no mirar las preguntas. Puede estudiar con un amigo, profesor o en línea con SurePass, una de las mejores clases de Prueba de Ciudadanía en línea ya que puede estudiar en cualquier momento y desde casa. Si se puede permitir gastar $20, entonces se recomienda SurePass.
Aquí están algunos buenos métodos;
Estudie con un amigo: Pregunte a un amigo que hable bien Inglés, que lea las preguntas de ciudadanía, una a una, aleatoriamente y trate de responder sin mirar las preguntas. El propósito es poner su mente en esa situación de la entrevista tanto como pueda para que pueda estar mentalmente preparado.
Estudie en clase con un profesor: Si puede manejar a una clase local, su profesor le enseñará a escuchar y responder las preguntas.
Estudie en casa, en línea con la Clase de Prueba de Ciudadanía SurePass: Creo que es el mejor método ya que combina los dos métodos que acabo de mencionar. SurePass se creó por Profesores de Ciudadanía para inmigrantes de ESL como usted. Puede estudiar en casa o en cualquier parte y momento. Hoy en día todo el mundo está ocupado. Estudie con SurePass, no tiene que manejar a una clase cada semana o pedir ayuda a sus amigos.

Most immigrants find ways to pass the citizenship test. So, why “how to fail”? Well, if you don’t know the reasons then you’re more likely to fail. We have a few listed below – some are obvious, some are funny and probably you have never heard of. If you can think of one, please don’t hesitate to let us know:
9 ways to fail the citizenship test:
You study very hard… the old citizenship questions
You don’t remember the questions and their answers
You go fishing on the day of the citizenship interview
You greet the USCIS officer with “what’s up?”
You did not hear the questions – but answered anyway!
“I don’t know” and “You don’t know?” were said too many times in the interview
Instead of “Can you repeat the question?” you said “Can I see the question?”
George Washington? who?
They asked you “Where have you been in the past 6 months?” You answered “Prison”

President Obama is working with some members of the Senate to craft an immigration reform bill. This bill, supposedly, would put 10.8 million people one step closer to, not the border, but U.S. Citizenship.
Million of people living in the United States “illegally” would see a path toward citizenship. This path is hopeful to these immigrants, however, it’s not immediate or free. The administration is proposing that “undocumented immigrants” (inmigrantes indocumentados) would need to register, pay taxes and pay a penalty for violating the law.
Current “legal” immigrants have to take a citizenship test (naturalization exam) to be granted U.S. Citizenship if they pass. Therefore, we think if President Obama’s bill is enacted, it is certain that all “illegal” immigrants will still take the test (the latest version) and pass in order to obtain citizenship.

For a very low study fee (as little as 25 cents a day) you can study for your test any time you want, with real people in streaming video. You can also learn pronunciation of difficult words.
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) September 28, 2009 – October 1st, 2009 marks the one year anniversary of the implementation of the new citizenship test. Most immigrants who take the test find it to be more difficult than its predecessor. It’s so hard, in fact, most natural born American citizens would fail it. Citizenship Coach™ is here to help. With the motto “You can pass the citizenship test. We can help!” they do indeed: Of the many thousands of immigrants who have used Citizenship Coach’s products and services, not a single one has failed the test yet.
How can Citizenship Coach help immigrants pass the citizenship test?
To keep up with the implementation of the new citizenship test, Citizenship Coach has developed new innovations that are helping U.S. immigrants study and pass the test. The company’s online citizenship test class named SurePass™ is available 24/7. It is reviewed by Immigrant Community Examiner and others as one of the best and most innovative tools available today for immigrants who wish to become naturalized U.S. citizens. By using streaming videos, SurePass helps immigrants learn the 100 new citizenship test questions online and learn how to answer them correctly word by word, verbally – all without having to drive to a class. The online program has been very popular since its debut in 2008 because it is effective, convenient, and easy to use, especially for the non-web savvy users, to practice the citizenship test at their own comfort at home.
And now, Citizenship Coach is even giving back
For each product sold or a SurePass registration, a portion of all profit is being donated to various charities in an effort to help children and families around the world. These donations will be made through the American Redcross, WorldVision, Unicef and Huong Di. Timothy Nguyen, the founder of Citizenship Coach, said: “I came to this country as a poor person, from a poor family, with only $17 dollars my Grandmother gave me. In this land of abundant prosperity I found an education, a great job, and unlimited opportunities to serve. My fellow immigrants and I are called to continue the great charitable tradition of this country, and we are honored to do that.”
When purchasing a citizenship test CD, DVD, Mp3, or a simple study guide, Citizenship Coach’s customers are helping a child in Africa, Asia or in a remote part of the world. For example, last year Citizenship Coach helped build a small house for a poor family in Vietnam. This year they plan to triple that.
Your purchase of a citizenship test CD/MP3/DVD helps a family like this. Citizenship Coach uses a portion of your money to help making their lives a little better.
Immigrants are helping themselves
Through the company’s website, they are offering the largest collection of the translated version of the new citizenship questions and answers in 15 different languages, such as Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Amharic, Oromo, Rusian, French, Tagalog…, even more than the USCIS — and they’re all free to download . This collection is growing fast as more immigrants volunteer to translate the English citizenship questions into their own languages, and then share with their communities via this popular website. All products are designed with the advice, input and the recommendations of many citizenship teachers, immigration lawyers, and past customers. Nguyen said, “They’re helping themselves and helping others at the same time. It only happens in this country, and it’s a beautiful thing!”
