Bonjour! Let's learn how to say hello and introduce ourselves in French.
In France, people greet each other with warm words. The most common way to say hello is 'Bonjour'.
To say hello to a friend, you can say 'Salut'. It is like saying 'Hi' in English.
When you meet someone new, you can tell them your name. You say 'Je m'appelle' and then say your name.
We can put these steps together. First say hello, then share your name, and finally ask for their name.
✏️ Worked example
Imagine you meet a new classmate named Emma. How do you say hello and tell her your name is Leo in French?
- Start with a friendly greeting. Say 'Bonjour' to be polite.
- Next, share your name. Use the phrase 'Je m'appelle'.
- Add your name to the end of the phrase. This makes 'Je m'appelle Leo'.
- Put both parts together. You will say: 'Bonjour! Je m'appelle Leo.'
