done
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.
