I never make phone calls or leave a voicemail in English. Actually, I feel nervous or blank when I try to speak English, especially to native speakers.

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 rarely call my friends and family members, but leaving a voicemail has never happened except in chat messages.
