Level 10 - S'appeler 'to be called'

In Level 1 we responded to the question comment t'appelles-tu? (what is your name?) with the response je m'appelle... (my name is...). The verb s'appeler means 'to call oneself', so in French you're not exactly saying 'my name is John' but 'I call myself John'. It means the same thing.
