Description

Do you get very nervous or “tongue-tied” when you have to make or answer a phone call in English for work? Or are you scared to make a doctor’s appointment by phone? Sometimes I get nervous making phone calls, believe it or not, and I’m a native speaker. In this lesson, we’ll figure out the problem. Is it: 1. understanding the speaker on the phone? 2. knowing how to respond? 3. worrying about pronunciation mistakes? 4. not having enough vocabulary to answer the speaker’s questions? 5. being unsure about how to start or end the conversation? Whatever you have trouble with, we’ll work together to figure it out and practice your English so you gain a lot more confidence in making and receiving calls. This is usually a two-session lesson, but it can be tailored to your individual needs.
