German · Business meeting

Speak German for your business meeting — before it happens.

In a Berlin conference room, slipping from Sie to du at the wrong moment in a status update can flip an engineering checkpoint into a personal disagreement. The wrong separable-prefix verb on the action item — "ich übergebe" instead of "ich gebe ab" — is the kind of mistake your counterpart will quietly fix in their head and never raise again.

What you'll practice

Open with Guten Tag + a one-line agenda before any small talk
Give a status update with the right perfect-tense form (haben/sein + past participle, separable-prefix verbs in the right spot)
Disagree politely using Sie throughout and the "Ich stimme zu, aber…" hedge
Close with concrete owners and deadlines — "Könnten Sie bis Freitag … übernehmen?"

A real exchange

Sample dialogue

Read along — each line shows the target-language turn, with a short English gloss when it helps.

Verständlich — aber "abschließen" passt besser als "fertig machen" für ein Modul. Bleiben Sie bei Sie und versuchen Sie es noch einmal.

Understandable — but "abschließen" fits better than "fertig machen" for a module. Stay in Sie and try again.
