Introducting Yourself and Others in French
When you learn new language, of course you will learn how to meet, greet and acquaint yourself with other people. French is no exception.
In interactions with others, especially with new environments, we often start the opening sentence by introducing ourselves or sometimes introduce someone to others.
In french we call "Se présenter ou quelqu'un" for introducting yourself and others. Here are examples of "se presenter ou quelqu'un" :
