A big disappointment
Yesterday morning I had to make a call to the Town Hall. I always fell afraid when I need to speak on the telephone because I don't feel confidence to understand the conversation. Often speak on the phone is more difficult because the corporal language doesn't exist and it is very useful to understand each other in many occasions. The girl who attended my call was not too kind to me. Several times during our conversation I had to tell him to speak slower, because I could not understand what he was telling me. I felt so helpless and dejected. I realized that I need a long way to go yet. The worst of all was when the lady was tired and she hung up the phone, I could'nt believe it.....

A big disappointment
Yesterday morning I had to make a call to the Town Hall. I always feel afraid when I need to speak on the telephone because I don't feel confident to understand the conversation. Often speaking on the phone is more difficult because body language is impossible and it would be very useful to understand each other on many occasions. The woman who answered my call was not too kind to me. Several times during our conversation I had to tell her to speak slower, because I could not understand what he was telling me. I felt so helpless and dejected. I realized that I needed a long way to go yet. The worst of it was that when the woman was tired she hung up the phone, I couldn't believe it.....Very well written!

Don't worry it happens with everyone, all you have to do is listening practices. Download English podcast in mp3 format , put it into music player, start listening it, here you can pause and resume millions times nobody would bother on you. Try to mimic that sentences. This way you would be familiar with their accent and pronunciation, so next when you talk you feel good.
