That was a nice exercise. I didn't know how to say "@" in English, this can be very useful.

No, I have never left a call message in English, first because I don't have a native English language friend and I still don't feel comfortable and secure talking in English on the phone.

No. I never used English language to make phone calls or to leave voicemail messages. But I hope do it.

I never make phone call or voicemail in English, because I don't know English language.
