Perfecting Les Présentations
When you meet French speakers, you need to know how to introduce yourself and what to say when you are introduced. French can be a bit tricky when introducing yourself or others depending on whether you know the person to whom you are making the introduction(s) or even if you have had any contact with the person. In French, those circumstances all require different introductions.
Basic Introductions
French uses the verb se présenter, not introduire, meaning to introduce something into something else, which translates into English as «to insert.» The most basic introduction in French, then, would be:
- Je me présente. = Let me introduce myself.
Using s’appeler is the common way of introducing yourself in French. Don’t think of it as “to name oneself” because it will only confuse you. Think of it in the context of introducing your name to someone, and link the French words to that context instead of applying a literal translation, as in:
- Je m’appelle… = My name is…
Use je suis with people who already know your name, such as those you have already talked to on the phone or by mail but never met in person, as in:
- Je suis… = I am…
If you don’t know the person or have never spoken to him on the phone or contacted him by email or mail, use je m’appelle, as noted previously.
Introducing by Name
There are also distinctions between formal and informal introductions, as well as singular versus plural introductions, as noted in the tables in this and the subsequent section.
|
French Introduction |
English Translation |
|
Mon prénom est |
My (first) name is |
|
Je vous présente (formal and/or plural) |
I’d like to introduce |
|
Je te présente (informal) |
I’d like to introduce |
|
Voici |
This is, Here is |
|
Il s’appelle |
His name is |
|
Elle s’appelle |
Her name is |
Meeting People
In French, when you are meeting people, you have to be careful about using the correct gender, as well as whether the introduction is formal or informal, as in these examples.

Comment vous appelez-vous? (formal and/or plural) |

What is your name? |
|
Enchanté. (masculine) |
It’s nice to meet you. |
|
Enchantée. (feminine) |
It’s nice to meet you. |
French Names
Nicknames — or un surnom in French — are much less common in this Romance language than in American English, but they are not unheard of. Often, a longer first name will be shortened, such as Caro for Caroline or Flo for Florence.

Cheek Kissing and Other Greetings
Cheek kissing is certainly an accepted form of greeting in France, but there are strict (unwritten) social rules to follow. Cheek kissing is generally OK, for example, but not hugging. So, it’s important to learn not only the words that go with cheek kissing — such as bonjour (hello) — but also the social norms that are expected when greeting someone in this manner. There are also other ways to say «hello» and ask «How are you?» in French.
Very often, you have to introduce yourself… The most common
sentence to do so is:
- Bonjour, je m’appelle Jean.
Hello, my name is Jean.
To introduce someone else, your wife for example:
- Je vous présente Fabienne, ma femme.
Let me introduce you my wife, Fabienne. - Voici Fabienne, mon épouse.
My wife, Fabienne.
(épouse = femme, see family)
The verb «to introduce» is «se présenter» (1st group verb).
It can be used to introduce yourself or to introduce someone.
- Je me présente: Xavier Renault.
- Il présente sa femme à ses amis. He introduces his wife to his friends.
- Il leur présente sa femme. He introduces his wife to them. (leur = ses amis)
- Nous présentons Robert à nos parents. We introduce Robert to our parents.
I am Xavier Renault.
If you want to talk about your living place:
- J’habite à Marseille I live in Marseilles
habiter (to live) is a 1st group verb. - Je vis à Marseille I live in Marseilles
vivre (to live) is a 3rd group verb.
… or about your age
- J’ai 28 ans. I am 28.
So, a good introduction would probably be:
Bonjour, je m’appelle [your name]. J’ai [your age] ans et j’habite à [your town].
