How To Say What Is Your Name In French

In this lesson you’ll learn how to say “What is your name?” and “My name is” in French. As always with French it’s very important to distinguish the formal way of saying things and the way you say them to a friend or somebody who’s your age or younger than you. The formal way of asking somebody their name in French is, “Comment vous-appelez vous?” Vous means you for somebody who you don’t know. If you’re asking a friend or somebody your age or younger you ask, “Comment tu t’appelles?” It’s important that you get the “u” sound right on the “tu” or you as it’s very different from English. It’s okay if you can’t get it perfectly the first time. Keep trying! To say, “My name is” in French you say, “Je m’appelle + your name. So, I’d say “Je m’appelle David”. Je in French means I.

Now watch this video a few times until you can say everything.
