Imagine you're at a dinner party in France. Someone turns to you and waits for you to introduce yourself. Your brain reaches for "Bonjour, je m'appelle..." â but that's not what anyone around the table is actually saying.
Real French introductions sound nothing like the textbook. Moi, c'est Géraldine. Chuis prof. J'bosse à Grenoble. à la base, j'viens d'région parisienne.
In this video, I'm walking you through the five pieces of a real French introduction: your name, where you're from, what you do, what you love, and the filler words that make it all flow. We'll work through over 15 real spoken phrases together. Say them out loud, not in your head â your mouth needs the practice as much as your brain.
By the end, you'll have your three-line introduction ready for the next time someone French asks who you are. Ă trĂšs vite!

At Comme une Française, we specialize in everyday spoken French. We focus on three unique aspects that are different from school French, self-study books, Duolingo, etc:
1. We focus only on the specifics of speaking/understanding/being understood in everyday French and have unique ways to help you learn it properly & faster.
2. We focus on shortcuts to help you make progress faster, which also means we tell you exactly what you can stop learning to prioritize whatâs really important.
3. We use French culture as the subject to make it fun and interesting for adults.
Take care and stay safe.
