Duration: 25 minPrerequisites: politenessValidation threshold: 80%

1. Objective

By the end, you will introduce yourself in four simple sentences and understand the same information from someone else.

2. I discover

Read: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Arben. Je suis albanais. J’habite à Lyon. Je travaille dans un hôtel.” What information do you learn?

3. I understand

For a short introduction: Je m’appelle… gives your name; Je suis… can give nationality or profession; J’habite à… gives where you live; a final sentence can add work, study or an interest.

Je m’appelle Mira.Je suis albanaise.J’habite à Paris.Je travaille dans un restaurant.Je suis étudiant.J’aime la musique.

Watch out

In everyday French, Je m’appelle… is the most natural basic way to give your name.
