Have you ever been in a business meeting and you didn’t understand something? If English is not your native language, but the meeting is in English and you hear a word or phrase that you don’t know, what do you do?

When they first come to me, corporate clients and members of my online communities often ask me about this.

Recently, I received this question:

What would be an effective way to learn new words in English that are used in a meeting or conference where I don’t have an opportunity to ask what they were? How did you deal with this when you were studying Japanese? 

In Episode 39 of the Sasuga! Podcast, you’ll hear

  • The 5 steps to take when you don’t know a word
  • The key to remembering new words and increasing your vocabulary
  • How to stop feeling like an Insecure English Speaker and start being a Confident Global Communicator

Enjoy!
