This month in Paris: snow, kung-fu, Champagne vs sparkling wine, and the French subjunctive hiding in plain sight.
 
In January's episodes, I take you through the first weeks of the new year — and in the notes, I have one clear mission: make the subjunctive feel natural, even satisfying.
 
I start gently — spotting the subjunctive when it's hiding behind an infinitive — then build up through il faut que, j'aimerais que, and the classic conjugations that make French learners hesitate. Along the way: a game to "disturb a sentence" and see how it changes, useful phrases for giving your opinion, and plenty of examples to read, repeat, and make your own.
