About this episode

On Sundays, in the morning, I join a group of walkers. We do nordic walking with Philippe a coach from the Club d’athlétisme de Courbevoie. I usually meet with Philippe at the stadium, and there Isabelle and Thierry give me a ride.  This Sunday, Philippe told me about an experience and Isabelle too. Both of them linked to pâtisserie. This is what this episode is about. 

In the notes that come with the transcript, I will highlight for you 3 expressions that are natural in French and that you could use in your own conversations. We will also focus on a particular sentence that requires the use of the subjonctive. 

So to cultivate your French and read what is said, you could subscribe to the transcript at www.cultivateyourfrench.com

The transcript has an immediate effect on your listening comprehension of the spoken French. 

The subscription costs 4 euros a month and the transcript is sent by email.
