No, I never made it. Because, I just needed English to use when I was doing waiterness. So, I didn't study anybody to make a communication with English. I just got ne English voice message from my English teacher which was about my question. That's it.
No I didn't, at least not many often as I would like to practise my English, I sometimes receive phone calls from people who speak English though. Most of the times I need to write emails in English to customers and suppliers but I rarely need to call them.
Thanks for the lesson.
Great site!
Good :)
i do, but these days we use smart apps to send a voice message
I've never leave voice message or call somebody in English. Because I don't have a friend who is fluent in English.
I always reply with an Email
I'd rather answer emails than calls
To be honest I had never speak English either in phone calls or voice mails.
When someone speaks in English in phone calls, I struggled a lot to answer them.
The same happens to me. I hope that changes in a short time.
Not always, I use my phone call message in Burmese because I am a burmese but sometimes I make a make a call in English maybe.
I did not make it in English but you encourage me now to do it but I do not have friends who speak English so what can I do?
Do you ever make phone calls or leave voicemail messages in English?
in turkey no one uses voicemail message. actually ı wonder what it is like to leave a voicemessage.
when ı was member one of the english learning program we used to talk the teacher on skyp in english.
I make phone calls and voice mail in English when I practice English with other people.
But usually, I make phone calls and voice mail in Bangla because I live in Bangladesh.
Thanks for reading my comment <3
No, I haven't had this experience until now but I'm a student who searching for Ph.D. opportunities and I think I must try to send more and more English voice messages to my friends. :)
I've never left a message for someone in English because my job doesn't require it. The most recent email I submitted to gg play's app store, requesting a refund for software I purchased unintentionally.
I have never used a voice mail to be honest. I always use phone calls
No I didn't but I think do it from now on
Yes, but I only use English when talking in English class because friends and my family don't often use English in normal conversation. I think I should find someone and practices English with them through voice messages to improve my skills
Do you ever make phone calls or leave voicemail messages in English?
No, I don't like to do that as in Portuguese or in English. I prefer to send text messages on Whatsapp or an email.
No, I don't. I prefer write a text message.
Yes I do
No, not in English , I would prefer to leave text message.
In spite of leave voice message I prefer sending either text and email.
I'm not get used to make phone calls in English cause I don't have friends to practice. To be honest in my country few people likes learning english that's why I'd like to speak to native language speakers.
I have, and I learned a lot when I received follow-up emails from companies or just people. I'm still beginner when it comes to writing an email, so checking them I learn quite a new words and phrases I could introduce next time for sending a more formal one. I hope I find more lessons of this topic again here.
Hello MarlonCV,
There are quite a lot of emails in our Reading and Writing pages that you could refer to.
I'd also highly recommend our Effective Email Communication course, which is available to our subscribers in LearnEnglish Plus. See our https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/online-courses/self-access page for more details.
All the best,

Yes I was having phone calls in English in a chat app called "Hello talk", but I have never left a voice message in English to someone!
I live in a country that people don't speak English. My mother tongue is Turkish and we speak Turkish in our daily life but the official language of my country is Persian. I love English language and I just have used it in practice with my friends.
No because we use social networking applications so all of our voice messages are left on them.
No, I don’t. We only say in Burmese. I live in Myanmar and Myanmar is a developing country ( not developed country). So we don’t have any voice mail services from the telephone operators.
Yes i did
i dont make phone call in english yet. but some times i chat with other persons in chat rooms in english.
my level couldn't make phone call. Sometimes, could we chat together?
Yes, I have done it, but I even not remember what about was the subject of my email and whom I have sent it.
No, but now I'm starting to send at least for my teacher
No, I have not ever make phone calls or leave voicemail messages in English. However, I try to do that in the future. First of all, I need to improve my english because it is still bad for now.

No, I don't try it yet.
Never, Because I don´t have the neccesity
I have never leave a message in English. I'm live in a Hindi speaking country. I'm here to learn English to leave a message in English.

I tried one time. I called the hotel for the fitness prices…It’s pity that they didn’t have special price for that time.
