why it does not work?

Hello khaled.alabbasy,

I've checked the page and everything seems to be working correctly, so I can only assume that your problem is a local one related to the device you're using, your internet settings or your local provider. I suggest accessing the page on a different device to see if you are experiencing compatibility issues. Sometimes certain devices (mobile devices in particular) have problems with certain pages.

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.
