No, I’ve never made a phone call or left a voicemail message in English
Yes, I sometimes make phone calls to friends who don't speak my mother tongue. I never leave voice messages - I don't know why, maybe it's because I don't feel confortable with my voice. I usually write emails to people about work or for pleasure.
Please give me some advice on how to be more confident with my voice when speaking English.
Hi, to be more confortable with your voice i should you practise alone your voice in case you have important calls and the other person not answer to you. You need to be more confident with your voice in case somebody bully you, you have the skill to win. Byeee!!!
No l have never make a calling in english
Yes, I do make calls and say things i'm English, but it's almost unusual, although I don't leave voicemails i'm English
Sometimes i need to speak with contractors from other countries, but nowadays everyone uses Whatsapp, so we don’t need to leave voicemails. As for phone calls, i usually make them with brazilian contractors.
