I never leave a massage to anyone. Because my colleague is all Vietnamese, I currently work in VietNam.

And now everyone also send email if they want to get information about something. 

Thanks,

HaLe

[Do you ever make phone calls or leave voicemail messages in English?]

No, I have never ever made phone calls or leave any voicemail messages in Enghlish. I'm a college student in Vietnam and I am surrounded by Vietnamese all day. I try to English through books, videos so the opportunities for me to speak English is next to nothing let alone calling or sending voicemail messages in English. But never mind, I'm still trying to speak English on my own. I hope all you guys pull English off.

No, but if I lived in a place where people speak English, of course. Here in Brazil we don't usually send a voice message. We use WhatsApp for talking more than phone calls.
