9. First impressions are important — they can start a friendship or set the tone for your interaction with someone. Start with a greeting. The simplest greeting is  Bonjour , which means Hello or Good Morning. Introduce yourself. The two most common ways to introduce yourself are to say  Je m’appelle   Name  (My name is Name ) or  Je suis   Name  (I'm  Name ). Since you are meeting the person for the first time, you should use the formal form of you. When you’re meeting someone for the first time, it’s always more polite to use the  vous ,  which is more formal. Of course, you can use the  tu  form when speaking to children even if you’re meeting them for the first time. The following questions are posed in both the  tu  and  vous  forms. Comment t’appelles-tu ?  (What’s your name? [Informal]) Comment vous appelez-vous ?  (What’s your name? [Formal]) After they tell you their name you should respond. It’s customary to acknowledge the introduction by making an expression of pleasure. Common ways to express this are: Enchanté  (Delighted ). C’est un plaisir de vous rencontrer .  (It’s a pleasure to meet you.)

10. Don't stop at basic introductions. You could also talk about where each of you is from or introduce someone else. ITo ask where the person is from, you can say: De quel pays es-tu ?  (What country are you from? [Informal]) De quel pays êtes-vous ?  (What country are you from? [Formal]) If you want to talk about where you live on the other hand, you can use the verbs  habiter  or  vivre , both of which mean  to live.
