    LESSON 2: French Introductions. Les Présentations.

    When you meet French speakers, you need to know how to introduce yourself and
    what to say when you are introduced. Here are some useful expressions related
    to French introductions

    How to say what's your name in French?

    Let's start with a short introduction. In French you start introducing yourself
    with a "Hello" = "Salut". The greeting is followed by some questions about your
    name. A few useful sentences for this case can be found in the table below.

    English French
    What's your name? Comment tu t'appelles?
    What's your name? (formal) Comment vous appelez-vous?
    my name is je m'appelle
    my name is je suis
    my name is je me présente
    My (first) name is... mon prénom est
    I'd like to introduce (formal) Je vous présente
    I'd like to introduce (informal) Je te présente
    It's nice to meet you Enchanté
    Where are you coming from?

    Usually in the second phase of a conversation one is curious about where do you
    come from, in French it's formed with verbs "venir" or "être".

    English French
    Where are you from? D'où venez-vous?
    Where are you from? D'où viens-tu?
    From which country are you? De quel pays êtes-vous?
    Where do you come from? Quelle est votre origine?
    What is your nationality? Quelle est votre nationalité?
    I am from Croatia Je viens de la Croatie
    I am from Croatia Je suis croate

    How to say what is your profession in French?

    To ask what somebody does in daily life, usually we say "What do you do for a
    living?" (Que faites-vous dans la vie?or "What is your profession?" (Quel métier
    faites-vous?). Here you have a list for the most common professions.

    Professions in English Professions en français


    student étudiant
    professor professeur
    doctor médecin
    manager directeur
    nurse infirmière
    dentist dentiste
    psychologist psychologue
    lawyer avocat
    diplomat diplomate
    teacher enseignant
    soldier soldat
    scientist scientifique
    waiter serveur
    engineer ingénieur
    The structure is: subject + conjugated form of "être" + profession

    Examples:

    She is a doctor. = Elle est médecine.

    He is a engineer. = Il est ingénieur.

    She is a waitress. = Elle est serveuse.

    What is your age in French?

    For asking how old somebody is, in French is used the verb "avoir", but you
    need to distinguish formal and informal form. Literally you say "J'ai 23 ans."

    English French
    How old are you? Quel âge as-tu?
    I am 23 J'ai 23 ans
    What is your age? Tu as quel âge?
    How old is he? (formal) Quel âge a-t-il?
    How old is he? (informal) Il a quel âge?

    Notice that there is no indefinite article "un/e", like it's used in English.

    Dialogue example

    French
    Marc: Salut, comment tu t'appelles?
    Julien: Salut, je m'appelle Julien, enchanté. Je suis Français.
    Marc: Quel âge as-tu?
    Julien: J'ai 28 ans et je suis étudiant.
    Marc: Finalement j'ai connu un autre Français en Espagne.

    English
    Marc: Hi, what is your name?
    Julien: Hi, my name is Julien, nice to meet you. I am from France.
    Marc: How old are you?
    Julien: I am 28 years old and I am a student.
    Marc: I am finally meeting another French guy in Spain.
