Lesson Transcript

Hi, everyone! I’m Erwan.

Salut tout le monde, c'est Erwan.

Welcome to the French Whiteboard lesson.

In this lesson

you'll learn how to give your name in French.

Let's get started.

Let's look at the dialogue.

When I read,

I want you to pay attention to the phrase that shows the speaker's name.

Find that phrase and see how it's used in the dialogue.

Bonjour ! Je m'appelle Hugues. Enchanté!

Je m'appelle Mark. Enchanté !

Hello! My name is Hugues. Nice to meet you.

My name is Mark. Nice to meet you!

Bonjour ! Je m'appelle Hugues. Enchanté.

Je m'appelle Mark. Enchanté !

Now, let's look at the sentence pattern.

This pattern will be the structure that our dialogue follows.

Je m'appelle [NAME]. Enchanté.

My name is [Name]. Nice to meet you.

Je m'appelle [NAME]. Enchanté.

Okay

let's look at the vocabulary.

First, we have

Bonjour

Je.

M'appelle.

Enchanté.
