Learning a language is always exciting. The Language of the Hexagonal country is even more exciting. Let's begin right away.
S'Appeler is a verb in French, it means to call oneself. It is usually used to introduce oneself.
Example: Je m'appelle Marc.
Je m'appelle Annie.
The verb takes 2 l's (appelle) when used with the word/pronoun Je which means I.
Se and me are reflexive pronouns that become s' and m' in front of a vowel.
Se means oneself/himself/herself/itself. Me means myself
The sentences mean I call myself Marc and I call myself Annie literally. The simpler meaning is
My name is Marc.
My name is Annie.
Et vous? means And you? to continue the conversation.

The Culture tip: As a bonus on the first day, the introductory sentence had a culture tip which you can identify and mention in the comments.
Today's tip: The Mona Lisa Painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The French call the Mona Lisa "La Joconde" and they say so based on the mid-century 16th century biography of Leonardo da Vinci by Giorgio Vasari, wherein many historians believed that the painting is a portrait of Madam Lisa Giocondo, wife of a wealthy Florentine. It is from Giorgio Vasari that the painting received the name Mono Lisa, also known as La Gioconda in Italian or La Joconde in French.
