In one of my earlier posts, I wrote about the basics of the Macedonian language. There, I wrote some of the most used daily expressions, greetings and question words used in Macedonia. But in this post, I’ll be writing some of the common words and phrases you need to know before or when applying for or renewing your Macedonian driver’s license.
As I spend each day outside my home country, I slowly realize that in order to quickly adjust with the language, I should compile a list of common words and phrases used before running a certain errand. That’s why from this post onward, I’ll be writing a series of posts related to a running a specific errand in the Macedonian language.
If you’re interested in the actual procedure, you may check out my other articles on How to Renew Your Macedonian Driver’s license here, and How to Convert Your Foreign Driver’s License to Macedonian Driver’s license here.
