I do but I prefer don't do it until I improve my English skills.
Yes, I sometimes make phone calls in English, especially when I need to contact someone from an international organization or attend an online meeting. I don’t often leave voicemail messages, but I keep them short and clear if I have to. I usually say my name, the reason for the call, and ask them to call me back. Speaking on the phone in English helps me improve my fluency and confidence.
yes, i did a phone call in English before , but my english wasn't good
No, I don't leave voicemail messages in English and either I call. What I do is to text or send audio messages. I rarely speak in English with my aunt by phone. Now, at work I sometimes pick up calls in English.
Yes, I had the opportunity to make a few phone calls in English and I felt terrible at the beginning because I didn't feel comfortable, I felt that the receiver didn't understand what I was saying, but to my surprise he understood everything I said and even praised my pronunciation.
Yes I've been making call in English with some lecturers in my university almost everyday In the past few weeks.
But regarding listening my problem come from comprehending logical information from a speaker.
It was a useful lesson in listening. I suggest that your fast-writing notes match record play, and it is important to be aware of all points.
All the best.
Unfortunately, no. I haven't had a job where I can practice my English skills. But, hopefully, one day I will get the chance to work for a foreign company
