Luisteren: waar-vraag

A question with waar (or waarheen, van welk spoor) about a place: where something is, where to go, where to collect it.

The answer is a place: a platform, a building, a spot in a shop — often with a small place word such as naast, achter in or bij. Short fragments name several places, and the wrong options are the others: the landmark on the route, the old platform before a change, a number that sounds almost the same, or the opening hours instead of the address.

How the exam tests this

The A2 Luisteren part is multiple choice on short audio fragments — station announcements, directions in the street, a shop assistant, a message from the gemeente — and it is computer-marked. We have 10 waar-questions in our A2 bank. Their wrong options are built from the same fragment: a landmark passed on the way, the platform that was cancelled, a number that sounds alike (zes and zestien), or another piece of information such as opening days.
