Hi! I'm Lumi — let's practice this out loud 🎙️

English for Work Meetings

Got a meeting or call in English coming up? Here are the phrases to introduce yourself, share your opinion, disagree politely, and ask someone to repeat — then practice them out loud.

Key phrases

Hi everyone, can you hear me okay?
The classic call opener to check your audio.
I just wanted to add something here.
A polite way to join the discussion without interrupting rudely.
That's a good point.
Agree and show you value what the person said.
I see it a bit differently.
A polite way to disagree — much softer than "I don't agree."
Sorry, could you repeat that?
Missed something? Asking someone to repeat is completely normal.
Sorry, you're cutting out.
Say this when someone's connection keeps breaking up on a call.
Let's circle back to that later.
Postpone a topic without dropping it. "Circle back" = return to it later.

Tip: Don't say "present myself" — the right phrase is "let me introduce myself." And it's "discuss something," with no "about": "let's discuss the budget," never "discuss about the budget."
