What sort of contact do you have with clients? Does it involve similar things repeatedly or do you have to deal with new issues each time?

If the phone rings in English, don't be afraid to answer it! The
fear of talking on the phone in a second language will disappear
if you practise often. The hardest part about using the phone in a
language that is not your own is the fact that you cannot see the
other person's eyes, mouth and body movements (body language).
Although you might not be aware of it, in face-to-face
conversation you lip-read and watch for smiles, frowns and moving
hands. Listening to someone on the telephone is like doing a
section from a taped recording in class. The only difference is
that you have to talk back!
In the website below you will look at some of the words and expressions that
we use for telephoning. There are also some practice sessions and
a quiz for you to check your understanding. And remember, practice
makes perfect! Ring, ring...
