I never did that, I feel embarrased when I speak in English. I hope that your lessons will help me to be more confident, to speak English fluently.

I don't like leaving voicemail messages. In Russia people often make phone calls. Voicemail messages aren't popular in my country.

I have never make phone call in English. I want to talk in English but I'm kind of scared to speak out loud. I wish I had a chance.
