How to have a phone Conversation!?!
I need help speaking spanish on the phone. I got through asking for the person that I wanted to speak with, but I couldn't understand her answer!! I figured it was that she was not home, but then I didn't know how to ask when to call back or leave a message! Help!

a converstion on the phone is no different than a conversation in real life...es decir, que hay que tener los tools necessarios. If you can't keep up...in other words, don't understand the words coming out of my mouth, it doesn't matter if I'm talking to you over the phone or from Mars. You have to learn to listen to spanish and get what's being said. 
I want to add to this because I read it after I said it and it seems a bit short. What I want to say is what I said...but you just have to learn to listen, and second, you really shouldn't freak yourself out over "well he's from mexico and I'm from puerto rico" or whatever other nonsense people tend to think when they are just learning spanish. Just use the words you have and it will be understood. If you don't understand, or if you run out of words, which will happen, then you revert to english. It happens all the time. Don't worry yourself. Use what you have. Grow when you can. Don't be afraid...it's all good.
HI allison, welcome to the forum
