👋 What’s Your Name?

⏱ 5 minutes · 📚 CELTA-informed · 🎯 A1 Cambridge level

📖 From the teacher’s desk: When I first arrived in La Réunion, my little one came home from crèche one day and said “Bonjour!” to everyone she met — even the cat! Greetings are the very first bridge between people, and children pick them up like magic. I’ve seen this happen in every classroom I’ve taught.

🎯 By the end of this lesson, you can: say hello, ask someone’s name, and answer politely.
