What are common mistakes in English phone conversations

Common mistakes in English phone conversations include the following:

• Speaking unclearly or too quickly, which can lead to misunderstanding due to poor transmission quality or non-native accents.
• Mispronunciation and incorrect word stress, which affect clarity and make it difficult for the listener to understand.
• Using incorrect grammar, such as wrong tense or sentence structure, which can confuse the message.
• Lack of clear introductions and closings in the conversation, leading to abrupt or confusing calls.
• Failure to repair communication breakdowns effectively when misunderstanding or hearing problems occur.
• Overuse of filler words or hesitations like “um” or “you know,” making the conversation less fluent.
• Interrupting or not allowing the other party to speak, which can disrupt the flow of communication.
• Not confirming information clearly, leading to errors in understanding details such as dates, times, or numbers.
• Using ambiguous language or slang that may not be understood by all callers.
• Insufficient listening skills, resulting in missed or misunderstood information.

These mistakes are common among non-native English speakers and learners who may struggle with pronunciation, vocabulary, and conversational conventions on the phone. Improving clarity, pronunciation, proper grammar usage, and strategies for repairing misunderstandings can significantly enhance phone communication in English. ^{2, 4, 7, 8, 18}
