During the week, I make phone calls in English two times.
Unfortunately, not much
I had video call in English last week, I could understand well what he said and reply well. Before the making call , I am afraid not to understand and can't make reply. I did communicate well actually, I need to practice more though.
How long have you been practicing speaking ENGLISH?
How often do you make phone calls in English?
Umm I never have one!
But i am so confident to practice my English, and my friendly personality helps me improve it! Like wherever I go I speak with other in English and make relationships, when I make a mistake I laugh at it and learn from it!
Actually i don't make phone calls in english , because people in my country doesn't use english in their conversations , so i have to practice with strangers .
Hiii dear friend, may I know where are you from?
I don't make call in English because no one of the people whom I am related with them don't speak English.
How often do you make phone calls in English?
Suddenly I do not make as many phone calls in English as I would like, but occasionally I talk to a friend whom live in the USA and we speak in English a little bit. At my work I sometimes receive phone calls from providers of software whom call from countries where they speak English at the first language, so I have the opportunity to practice some speaking with them.
Thanks for the episode.
Great site!
I've never made phone call in English because i have noone to call in English with.
