How do I get my phone calls to be in English? My car is made for Canada but I live in the US. The language is English for everything else but that.

To change the phone call language to English in a 2012 GMC Terrain, you need to change the system display language. The vehicle supports English, French Canadian, and Spanish. To do this, go to the Driver Information Center (DIC) and select English.
