In today's video I'm going to teach you how to introduce yourself in French and how to start a conversation in French, whether formally or informally. It's important to know what to say and how to say it when you find yourself in a situation where you have to introduce yourself. In French as in Spanish we can speak of VOUS (You) in a formal way, with an older person, a person in authority (work, administration, ...) TU (You) in an informal way, with friends or close people (also at certain events) GREETING AND NAME Bonjour/Bonsoir (formal) Salut! (informal) video link Greeting and Goodbye in French Then you can say Enchanté/e Je m'appelle …. (formal) Moi c'est… (informal) or directly your name if many people Et vous (formal)? et toi (formal) (normally the person will tell you their name without you asking). But if you have to ask, are you going to say: Comment vous-vous appelez (formal)? Comment tu t'appelles or C'est quoi ton nom (informal) It is important to mention that in France in an informal situation (among friends) people between men and women or between women, since they greet each other with kisses (generally 2) on the cheeks. ORIGIN / NATIONALITY Je suis…. Masculine/Feminino espagnol/espagnole mexicain/mexicaine argentin/argentine bolivien/bolivienne colombien/colombienne péruvien/péruvienne chilien/chilienne Et toi/vous? Vous êtes d'où/Tu es d'où? (if the person is French you can ask: From what region?) Je suis de… Paris/Madrid/Mexico/Buenos Aires J'habite à… Paris…depuis Et comment vous vous êtes connus? If the 2 people are by your side On s'est connus au travail / à l'université / à club de… ACTIVITY Vous faites/Tu fais quoi dans la vie? Vous travaillez/Tu travailles dans quel domaine? Surely the other person is going to ask you the same thing, you can answer: •Domaine: Je travaille dans… la banque / l'administration / l'industrie automobile •Profession: Je suis…: Je suis professeur/ingénieur/médecin/avocat/étudiant but the person can ask you what or where you work specifically •Specialty ...De/en: professeur de français/étudiant en économi e •Place ...à/chez: professor at l'université…/ingénieur chez… HOBBIES Who are your passions?
