Part 1: French Pronunciation Rules“What’s my name in French? How will it sound like?” Great question, glad you asked. When learning to say your name in French, pronunciation is extremely important. So, here are some rules to help: Rule 1: Many ending consonants are silent.Generally speaking, consonants at the end of French words are not pronounced. However, you must be careful. C, R, F, and L are usually the exception to this rule (and they are the consonants in the word CaReFuL.) When these consonants (C, R, F and L) are at the end of the word, they are pronounced.
Rule 2: The “R” comes from deep in the throat.The sound of the French “R” doesn’t exist in English. To pronounce it, form your mouth as if you are going to use the “K” sound. Blow air from the back of your throat. It is as if you are gargling water or trying to clear your throat.
Rule 3: When “M” and “N” follow vowels, they become nasal.Any vowel followed by an “M” or an “N” creates a nasal sound. Air has to pass through both the nose and the mouth (as opposed to using just the mouth.)
Rule 4: The letter “I” is pronounced like the English “E.”Anytime you see the letter “I”, treat it like an “E” when you pronounce it. Some English names already use this pronunciation rule such as Ian (EE-IN) or Nadine (NAH-DEEN).

Here are some different ways to do so: A) What’s your name in French (informal)
This informal question would be used among people of the same age group. Children would use this when meeting other children their own age. B) What’s your name in French (formal)
C) My name is… in French. This is the more polite version. When adults meet each other for the first time, this would be the proper form to use.
D) I call myself… in French. When someone asks you, “Tu t’appelles comment?” or “Comment vous appelez-vous?” they are saying “What do you call yourself?” using the reflexive verb, s’appeler. It makes sense to respond with “Je m’appelle” (I call myself) as it uses the same reflexive verb.
E) My name is… in French This is the literal “My name is” response. It is acceptable to use for any occasion, but is less common than “Je m’appelle.”
F) Pleased to meet you in French “Je suis” (I am) is also acceptable to use for any introduction, but it is less common than “Je m’appelle.” This phrase is also used to introduce professions or adjectives, such as, “Je suis professeur” (I am a teacher) or “Je suis timide” (I am shy.)
When someone introduces themselves, it is common to say “très heureux” to mean that you are very happy to meet them. Males would say “très heureux,” using the masculine form of the adjective. Females would say “très heureuse,” using the feminine form of the adjective. Part 4: Sample ConversationsTake a look at this sample conversation between two teenagers meeting for the first time:
Explanation: *Salut (SAH-LOO) is an informal way of saying “Hi.” It is often used by younger people. **Et toi (AY-TWA) means “and you.” It is commonly used when asking a question of someone else after they have posed the same question. It uses the informal you, toi. Here is a conversation between two adults meeting for the first time:
Explanation: *Bonjour (BOHN-JHOR) is a more formal way of saying hello or good day. It is used by adults meeting for the first time. **Et vous (AY-VOO) means “and you.” It is the formal you-form, so it is used by people who are showing respect for one another or by adults who do not know each other well. It is often used when asking a question of someone else after they have posed the same question.
