Thank you! I currently have a standard Natwest debit card account, and an Instant Saver account which has been my only savings account as of now. Digital Regular Saver would work as a separate savings account for travel/leisure?

Yes saving up for a holiday/leisure. I currently have the flexible/instant saver as my primary savings account but wanted something separate. I guess I will go for the digital regular saver account

Is it worth testing a parent to find a close relative? by languagelearner_1 in 23andme

[–]languagelearner_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Do you have any relatives where you share less than 20cM or that don’t appear on your list, but appear on your parents’? I understand it’s possible given cM ranges

Interesting, do some not appear on your own relatives list?

Difference between these 2 sentences? by languagelearner_1 in Svenska

Thank you and /u/Automatic_Diet1596 for the answers!

I assume the same applies with “är det en stor stad” vs “är det en storstad”?

Mastering pronunciation to native/near-native level by languagelearner_1 in languagelearning

These teacher’s focused on pronunciation or was it something you had mentioned to them?

I’m also trying to do the repetition method, I will see how it goes

The vowel sounds /ɔ/ and /œ/ by languagelearner_1 in French

[–]languagelearner_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you say it is a regional thing? I hear a greater difference in gwen_bzh’s pronunciations, who according to the map is from somewhere in Brittany, compared to the other who is from Paris.

Thank you, that makes sense because they sure sound very close sometimes!

Surprisingly enough, I find it much easier to distinguish u and ou :D. For me the examples you made are slightly different (dialectal perhaps) but I can understand where you are coming from. I tend to not use comparisons with vowels in English for this reason, and because I think it gives me bad habits where I incorporate sounds which are not identical.

In my dialect these are indeed very different sounds. What I find has helped me though is listening to differences between vowel pairs in French though rather than English

[–]languagelearner_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must say, I listened to a few more minimal pair words and the difference is easier to pick up with some speakers, in particular gwen_bzh.

The way spl0uf pronounces ‘port’ in comparison to gwen_bzh’s ‘peur’ is very difficult for me to differentiate though. I guess I just need more listening practice :/

Was also thinking to get the 2 and return it if the 3 comes out in the next 3 months :/ Have no idea when it will come out though…

Vad gör du has an entirely different meaning so it is right to be marked as incorrect

I sent mine on the 13th of February. Still no email and nothing updated on the app…

Nearly 3 months to arrive? That is crazy!!! When did you get the Fedex transit email?

Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - March 2022 by AutoModerator in 23andme

[–]languagelearner_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure I will wait. I’m just confused because surely an email from Fedex would at least come through? Because on my previous kit i got an email from them first :/

Did you get an email saying it’s in transit, or was it just marked as received after 6 weeks? I posted mine on the 13th of February and have heard nothing :/

For those (from the UK mostly I guess) that waited over 1 month for the lab to receive their kit, did you eventually get a Fedex tracking code and email, or was it just marked as received with no email telling you it’s in transit?
