1
In this video, we're going to look at some key words
2
and phrases that you absolutely need to know
3
if you're having online meetings in English so that you can participate like a pro.
4
Let's get straight into it.
5
Let's start with small talk.
6
I think we all know that feeling
7
when you sign into a meeting a couple minutes early and it's just you and one other person there.
8
It can be a little awkward.
9
So to break the ice and make some polite conversation, you can ask some good open-ended questions like, how's everything in New York?
10
What's keeping you busy these days?
11
Do you have any interesting projects on the horizon?
12
Have you been following the, and then name maybe a global event or something important going on in your industry, for example.
13
If you're the one leading the meeting, you need to say something to signal to the group that it's time to begin.
14
And we usually start this with words like, okay, all right, followed by things like, it looks like everybody's here, so let's kick off.
15
Shall we begin?
16
It's two o'clock, so let's get started.
17
Now, a frustrating part of online meetings is the tendency for people to talk over each other, even if they don't necessarily mean to interrupt.
18
So when that happens, you can say something like, my apologies for interrupting.
19
Go ahead, Teresa.
20
Now if you want to interrupt someone in face-to-face communication, you can do it more subtly with gestures or facial expressions,
21
but in an online setting you have to be a little more direct.
22
It's always best to use the person's first name to get their attention in a polite way.
23
For example, Martina, if I may, Kevin, can I jump in here for a second?
24
Sorry to interrupt, but now if someone interrupts you, you can say, just let me finish my point here.
25
I'm not quite finished.
26
Or you can allow them to interrupt you by saying, go ahead.
27

31
All right, now if you're leading a meeting or presenting during a meeting and you need to pause to do something, like to get a file or to share your screen,
32
communicate to the group what you're doing.
33
Don't just go silent.
34
For example, you can say things like, I'm gonna share my screen now.
35
Bear with me while I pull up the document.
36
Give me a second.
37
I'm going to check my Wi-Fi connection.
38
Now, what would an online meeting be without some technical issues?
39
If you run into a problem, you can say, apologies, I'm having some technical difficulties.
40
There seems to be a problem with the connection on my end.
41
When your video doesn't move due to a bad connection, we use the expression to be frozen.
42
So we say, for example, the screen is frozen or John, you're frozen.
43
Of course, during online meetings, we often have audio issues, which make it hard for people to hear each other or even understand what others are saying.
44
So when that happens
45
and you need to ask someone to repeat themselves you can say things like I didn't catch
46
that can you say
47
that again can you speak up a little we can't hear you can you come closer to the microphone
48
if there's a lot of noise where you are you can say excuse the background noise
49
if someone's microphone is off you can say you're on mute
50
or sorry I was on mute and when you can only hear parts of what someone is because the connection is interrupted,
51
we use the expression to break up.
52
So you could say to them, you're breaking up.
53
Now, if someone's unexpectedly disconnected from the meeting, we say that we've lost that person.
54
Did we lose Andrew?
55
You can also ask if the person is still there.
56
Are you there, Carla?
57
If everything's back to normal, then you can say, oh, Andrew's back.
58
Yes, we can hear you now.
59
If the meeting is taking longer than planned
60
and you need to leave before it's finished you can say
61
sorry i have a hard stop at two o'clock i need to go
62
or more informally you can say sorry guys i gotta jump
63
or i gotta drop now
64
when the meeting is ending before you sign off it's good business etiquette to thank everyone
65
and say goodbye don't just sign off without saying anything so you can say thank you everyone bye
66

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
