I come from Vietnam which is country in Asea. We use only our Vietnamese language as a main language.So it's not easy to have English conversation frequently in fact or even phone calls if you don't work for foreign companies or having foreign friends. I have just   made few phone calls in English until now when I were joining the English learning app that has name Speak peak. In my opinion there is more difficulities to have a conversation in English on the phone due to having a different accent speaker from many countries in the world. So it has a little bit difficulity for listening to partner to get information clearly. Especially to the English begin learners as me, but it will be ok when we speak slower and pronouce clearly. I am trying to learn English on British council everyday to improve my English skills to have make friends from around the world and have more conversations in English.

where do you live? I live in Hai Duong. I am learning English too. I hope we have a partner to study together. Nice too meet you.
