Your first introduction
Bring your first phrases together in one complete mini-conversation.
Your conversation map
A first introduction is not one large sentence. It is a short sequence: greet the person, give your name, ask about them, then close the exchange.
You already know every part. This lesson is about choosing the next useful phrase without translating the whole conversation in your head.
A complete first exchange
Read each line as one small move in the conversation.
A : Bonjour, je m’appelle Maya. Et vous ?
Translation
A: Hello, my name is Maya. And you?
B : Bonjour. Moi, c’est Alex. Enchanté !
Translation
B: Hello. I’m Alex. Nice to meet you!
A : Enchantée ! Ça va ?
Translation
A: Nice to meet you! How are you?
B : Ça va bien, merci. Et vous ?
Translation
B: I’m well, thank you. And you?
A : Très bien, merci. Au revoir !
Translation
A: Very well, thank you. Goodbye!
