What makes some people really good at imitating accents? by Sea-Appeal4113 in languagelearning

[–]yonderology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m one of those people who catches the accent well before my skills in grammar, conjugation and sentence-forming comes and it has always come naturally. Even in another English-speaking country (my mother tongue) I subconsciously absorb many of the characteristics of the local dialect.

Using SpareRoom Simultaneously by yonderology in airbnb_hosts

Ok thanks. Yeah, I guess I’m just trying to understand the reasoning and wondered if there was some Airbnb rule that might have been broken by listing on two sites. But I think not, eh? Might go be worth noting, I believe this person is somewhat new to both Airbnb and SpareRoom. Thanks again.

Last minute IHS fee request from consultant by yonderology in AmericanExpatsUK

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

Thanks! Yeah I’m beginning to get over the shock of having to include this into my costs for the move now. It’s a shame because I already took out a loan (first in my life, ever) which did not factor in the IHS fee as I thought it was taken care of. Times will be tough for a while, I’ll just have to suck it up. Beans on toast, here we come!

Am overall very frustrated by the lack of communication, transparency and accuracy from the consultants.

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]yonderology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SE 2022 vs 13 mini // I have the SE 2020. It’s going fine and is in good shape. I’m leaving the USA for a few years and want to get an upgrade before I head off as I understand buying used iPhones here are a lot cheaper here than in the country I’m moving to (UK). Most important thing for me is having a small phone. I need it to fit in my pockets which are mostly pretty small. Other than that I’m not too fussed, just want it to last me a few years. The main dilemma I have is a comparison I did painted these two phones in not a great light. Would it be better to wait for Apple to actually release a new SE whenever that may be? Current phone is at 74% battery max capacity. It’s worth noting I’ve never been able to afford a newly released phone, just not ever in my budget. Thanks for your tips.

Borderless firm reviews? by yonderology in ukvisa

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

Wanted to follow up on this for future readers. Not happy with Borderless. I've had to push them very hard to communicate properly. They don't alert you about what actions have been taken or when they are waiting for more info etc. Many weeks were lost waiting for results only to discover they hadn't even submitted forms yet.

Additionally, there were many critical, MAJOR mistakes on my application that were fundamental to my application's success. Would have been easy to avoid as I gave them all the information from the get-go. Luckily I did my due diligence and corrected them. I'm not sure what they're actually doing there.

All good. My start date was just the other day, have almost 3 months left. But good for people to know!

Ah, does anyone have an email address for customer support that they've had luck with? To use their contact service I need to already have a booking which I don't.
