Financial

When we arrived in Canada we had no idea what the financial situation was like for example the benefits you could get for saving for our children's studies or what kind of account to open in a local bank.

Idioms

In today's lesson I learned new expressions that I had already heard and did not understand.
for example :

1.- Borrow a few bucks
2.- Paying through the nose
3.- blow your money

:)

Bank opion

In my opinion I only agree with some complaints since I have not had experience in all those mentioned in the article.
Excessive/hidden fees.
When I opened my account at the bank I used my debit card several times and at the end of the month  I had a charge for several transactions. I feel ripping me off

sound

For me it is difficult the sound of TH, th, Er, sh, Ng, Zh, because we do not have them in Spanish.

Spanish has only five vowel sounds :)

In Spanish we do not have long or short vowel sounds :)
