The Subjunctive Made Simple Course

Fill out our Subjunctive course interest list and we will get in touch with you asap!

 

Our 12-week Subjunctive course was such a hit, that we will be offering it again!

Since this summer is a bit of bust due to Covid-19, we will be offering it again, starting in August!

When most Spanish students think about the subjunctive, they immediately feel a sense of dread and anxiety. They get so overwhelmed by this topic, that most students shy away from it.

But what if I told you that 90% of this topic is actually pretty straightforward and not nearly as difficult as you thought?

What if I told you that after these 12 weeks you would have a really good idea of when to use the subjunctive 90% of the time and that you would be able to determine which of the 4 subjunctive tenses to use?

Would you give yourself the chance to learn it?

This course is going to revolve around:

  • subjunctive triggers
  • conjugations
  • learning how to determine which of the 4 Subjunctive Tenses to use
  • and mindset

More than anything, we want you to be exposed to the 90% of the subjunctive that is straightforward and not nearly as difficult to learn as you may think.

With 12 weeks dedicated to learning & practicing that 90%, you will be able to master this beast in no time!

After this course we also hope that you will feel excited about the Subjunctive and no longer afraid of it!
