INTRODUCING YOURSELF IN FRENCH / SE PRÉSENTER EN FRANÇAIS



Hello everyone! :)
In this new lesson, let’s see quickly some words and how to introduce yourself in French. I am just giving you quick tips to remember easily some basic forms in French! I hope it will be helpful! Don’t forget to stay tuned here for new articles and of course, the second parts of the lessons we have already seen! It’s coming!


● Je m’appelle (nom). / My name is (name).

● J’ai 25 ans. / I am 25 years old.  Remember how to say your age with numbers! In this case it will be: J’ai ‘‘vingt-cinq’’ ans.

● J’habite en France. / I am living in France.
or
● Je vis en France. / I am living in France. Insinuating you are living right now, at the moment, currently, with “vis” (verb “vivre”, “to live (somewhere)”). 

● J’habite à Paris. / I am living in Paris.
or
● Je vis à Paris / I am living in Paris. Insinuating you are living right now, at the moment, currently, with “vis” (verb “vivre”, “to live (somewhere)”)

● Je suis né à Paris. / I was born in Paris.
                 en Corée / in Korea
                 en Suisse / in Swiss
                 en Chine / in China
                 aux États-Unis (USA) / In the United Stated of America (USA)

● Mon hobby est le sport / My hobby is sport
                        la natation / swimming
                        l’équitation / horse riding
                        le dessin  / drawing
                        la musculation  / gym, musculation, lifting
                        voyager  / to travel
                        la musique / music 
"Hobby" is same in French and English, we use this word as well, but another term to say "Hobby" in French is "Passe-temps". Literally translated "pasttime", something you use to pass your time and have fun. So you can say "Mon passe-temps est le sport". 

● Je viens du Japon / I am from Japan 
                 de Corée / from Korea
                 de France / from France
                 d’Angleterre / from the UK 
                 de Russie / from Russia
same as ‘‘Je suis né (I was born)’’ or ‘‘Je vis’’ (I am living) but it’s just another way to introduce the place where you are living.  Here again, you can choose what’s best for you! But basically, you will mostly use “Je viens (I am from…) if you are on vacations somewhere and you know you will be back to your country soon, so you say to people who ask you “Where are you from?” (D’où viens-tu?) : I am from…. (Je viens de….)

BY, THROUGH / PAR

Hello ! In this new article, let's talk about the French preposition " par " (by). Let's get started! :) Usually, " par " is used to mark the passage, the move, accross something, the high, the position (of a object or a building or a boat), the part of something we grab (knife, fork). It can also describes the cause, the way, the order, the distribution, to affirm, and many more!  Let's just see some examples to get familiar with this preposition as it's better to see it in a complete sentence than all alone in a huge text.  Examples:  Used to mark the movement and the passage Il est passé par Lyon . / He went through Lyon . Voyager par mer , par terre . / To travel by sea , by land . Aller par le monde . / Go through the world . Jeter quelque chose par la fenêtre . / Throw something out the window . Passer par de rudes épreuves . / Going through hard times . Cette idée lui est passé par l'

AND, OR / ET, OU

Hello everyone! Welcome back for a new article about French! In today's article, we will talk about two words that everyone use everyday and their utilisation in French.  Let's start!  ET / AND "Et" is a  coordinating conjunction . It is used to link two words or groups of words of the same function. "Et" express an addition in a sentence . OU / OR   "Ou" is also a coordinating conjunction . It is used to link two words or groups of words of the same function. "Ou" express the choice, in a sentence .  The coordination allows not to repeat some terms again. It is used to add something in a sentence or avoiding to say the same things again in one sentence. And with "ou", of course, we can also express a choice in a sentence in the easiest way. Let's see some examples: 1) Il y a du pain et du beurre. / There is some bread and butter.  2) Aujourd'hui j'ai vu mes amis. Et
