THE MEETING DECODER

A FREE RESOURCE - THE MEETING DECODER

Have you ever been in a meeting with native or advanced speakers and understood the words, but not what they really meant?

In Business English, phrases can often sound more positive, polite or neutral than the speaker actually intends. This can be especially confusing for Spanish speakers who may interpret the words more literally.

The Meeting Decoder looks at common phrases you may hear in professional meetings and explains.

• what the speaker says
• what they usually mean
• what a Spanish speaker might naturally understand instead

A practical resource for B2/C1 Business English Learners who want to understand meetings more confidently and pick up hidden meaning behind everyday workplace English.
