Unlike English, when it comes to nationalities , in french, there is a difference whether you're a girl or a boy.
example in English : She is irish / He is Irish
example in French : Elle est irlandaise/ Il est irlandais
It is important to make the difference. I've heard people making this mistake (which is totally normal) but we really need to make the difference between a "he" or a "she". You could find yourself in a very embarrassing situation.
So , to help you I'm going to make a list of different nationalities so that you won't ever do this mistake again.
Let's go :
She/he is American : Elle est américaine/ Il est américain
English : Elle est anglaise/ Il est anglais
German Elle est allemande / il est allemand
chinese elle est chinoise / il est chinois
japonais japonaise/ Japonais
spanish espagnole/ espagnol
Mexican mexicaine/ mexicain
indian indienne/ indien
As you can see most of the time you can just add an "e" if you're a girl.
