Ooh, That’s What “Visum” Means




My pupil Dicky (not the real name) read the text carefully, while I ate the tasty cake. 😊 The mother was just nice, always provided cakes for me. Many of my pupils got it also done. There were meal and drinks at the course without I asked that. 😉


We were just speaking about foreigners in Germany. In the course book it is written so: “Ausländer brauchen in Deutschland nach drei Monaten eine Aufenthaltsgenehmigung. ...” 

The student of Medical Faculty of the Catholic University Atmajaya will study further in Germany. It is important to know what he would need later as foreigner in Germany
Further it is written so in the course book: “Das Ausländeramt fragt nach dem Visum, nach drei Passfotos und nach der Wohnung. ...”

 
We spoke further about life in Germany. From the beginning foreigners must have the right documents so that they don’t have any problem with the German government in the future, if they are already in Germany.

Of course I don’t translate the whole text word by word. Only several words, if it is necessary. The most important is that pupils understand the message of a text. Dicky seemed to understand the text. However it was surprising. The discussion was already far and Dicky asked me, why pupils need a “Visum”. (Dicky mentioned the German word “Visum”). I was surprised, because we just already spoke about it at the beginning.

Then the young man, who is member of the GKI Puri Indah, asked, what Visum is called in Indonesian. As I answered his question, he told me, that he always didn’t understand before, because he thought, that Visum means “Visum et Repertum”. 😊

Later on if Dicky becomes a doctor, then he issues such a report, after he has helped police to diagnose a criminal victim. We called the report just like its name in its language “Visum et Repertum”. 😊

It makes sense, that Dicky always hasn’t understood. Why must somebody need Visum et Repertum to Germany? And Visum of which criminal victim? 😉 Indeed Visum in German means visa. 😉

What is “Visum et Repertum” called in German? Well, Dicky must ask his colleagues, doctors, in Germany for himself. 😉
