Hello, Julie speaking! Let's pick up the phone

 Today we're going to focus on some typical mistakes everyone makes on the phone.

When you pick up the phone in Spanish, we use the verb to be in first person.... e.g. Diga, si soy Julie.

In English that would be wrong, in English we would say it's Julie.

Let's try and correct some typical mistakes we make on the phone:-

1. I'm calling on part of my manager.
2. I'm sorry but it's communicating.
3. Keep on a minute, please.
4. Can you tell me who is the responsible for the H.R. department?
5. Can you please pass me through to Mr Jones?

You will find the answers in the comments below.
