False. That's exactly backward.
To speak means to encode meaning within linguistic grammar's architectural presentation tools--nouns, verbs,etc.
When one listens, one hears the clues in order and decodes them into a picture of what the architecting speaker or person said/wrote in the first place.
If the statement made works well enough for the hearer--the hearer understands what the speaker said, asked, demanded, wanted, suggested etc.
If the picture even decoded is still unclear--a new try at encoding is called for.

False. To "encode" means to speak or write something in code. To "decode" means to break the code and put it into normal language.

I think you have to go back to the terms "cipher" and "decipher." In my opinion, I think both of those as well as encode and decode can be used on either side of a communication, almost interchangably.

when we listen we encode... and then the brain decodes, decoding happens before we speak.. it happens in the middle

I thought it was the other way around.
