How To Make Introductions In French

Listen to phrases for introducing people in French.

Watch the video as many times as you need, until you feel you can give the French translations as the video plays!

Now we can see what we’ve learned. Look at the English and see if you can provide the French for these expressions:

What’s your name?	Show Comment vous appelez-vous?
My name is Pierre.	Show Je m’appelle Pierre.
This is my mother.	Show Je vous présente ma mère.
She’s called Anna.	Show Elle s’appelle Anna.
My father is called Jacques.	Show Mon père s’appelle Jacques.

Notes on Usage

Je vous présente… Let me introduce you to…

ma mère. my mother. ma sœur. my sister. ma grand-mère. my grandmother.

Elle s’appelle… She is called…

Je vous présente… Let me introduce you to…

mon père. my father. mon frère. my brother. mon grand-père. my grandfather.
