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
I think yes when i was working in some project and had to call someone on teams software and he/she didn't answer I think I left a message for him/her
I never have the opportunity to make a call in English. I probably don't do it very well because I'm very shy. I have never left a voicemail either; actually, in my country it is not common.
Actually no, I have never made phone calls or voicemessages in English due to lacking of English skill. I scared of communicating to foreigners. I'm not good at listenning and speaking. Whenever I met a native speakers, I would run away and stood in corner and watched them.
We rarely use voice message in our country. But it will be useful when I arrive abroad. Thank you so much.
Not really, I have not had the opportunity to make phone calls or leave voicemails message in English yet. I need to improve my English in order to make it.
Finally, I am improving my English doing this kind of exercise. Listening always was a great problem for my learning.
Thanks a lot for this lesson, its very useful. I think that Marina speaks quickly.
I used to make phone calls in English when i try to practice speaking skills with my friends. Currently, I am spending most of time for work, therefore I am no longer making phone call in English. I have never left a voicemail in english before.
Nice
