Someone turns to you and waits for you to introduce yourself. Your brain reaches for "Bonjour, je m'appelle..." — 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 — 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.
