I have never left a voice message before. I just wrote an email in English to my customers about the shipping status and dealed with them about the price.

I did not make a phone call or leave a voice message in English before. I hope to do that.

No, unfortunatelly I don't make phone calls in English. Maybe someday I will. Talking about the record, I'm 100% sure that Marina Silva, the character and the actress herself, are Brasilians. ;-)

Hello Evandro

Yes, you are right! Good observation!

All the best

Is there only 1 lesson in the voicemail section?
Hello prem_translator In this section (Listening at the A1 level), this is the only audio message, but there are similar listenings in the other listening levels (A2, B1, B2, C1) -- for example, https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/pre-intermediate-a2-listening/invitation-party .
