Zambia (Lesson 2)—Detailed Quiz about Zambia, a Beautiful Country in Africa(Level A2-B1-B2)🇿🇲

Detailed quiz about Zambia

I come from Malawi and Zambia is our neighbouring country. Our countries have so many things in common: names, food, languages and culture. When I was in Malawi, I never had the opportunity to visit this magnificent country. It is therefore paradoxical that I was able to visit it from Poland. Such are the paradoxes of life!

My recent trip to Zambia has sparked a new curiosity in me. I want to know more and more about this country: its history, its traditions and most of all, I want to see the extent to which our cultures are similar yet very different!

The questions in this detailed quiz about Zambia are basic but hopefully will give you an inkling of hat this country is all about. I hope this rudimentary knowledge stirs up a similar desire in you.
