Bonjour! Comment vous appelles-vous?

I'm taking French 101 and Italian 101 this semester. To my surprise, some words are pretty similar that I get confused from time to time. Well, it's been only a week. I hope I get better later. I love learning languages of the world because language is a culture. Like, a translated language feels so different from hearing the original version of the language.
