❌ Common Mistakes Indians Make
❌ "Hello, who is speaking? I am Aarav here."
✅ "Hello, this is Aarav speaking."
Say "This is [name] speaking" when identifying yourself on the phone.
❌ "I will give you a call." (slightly wordy)
✅ "I’ll call you."
"I’ll call you" is simpler and more natural than "give you a call".
❌ "The phone is ringing. I am picking."
✅ "The phone is ringing. I’ll pick it up." / "Should I answer it?"
Say "pick it up" or "answer it" — not just "picking".
❌ "Hello, I want to talk Rahul."
✅ "Hello, may I speak to Rahul, please?"
"May I speak to" is the polite phone format. Add "please" always.
❌ "I am keeping the phone now."
✅ "I’m hanging up now." / "Goodbye, talk to you later."
We "hang up" the phone, not "keep" it. Or just say goodbye naturally.
