Welcome to the first chapter of the fourth and final part of La Vérité éclate toujours, our crime drama series for advanced French learners. In this episode, James and Guillaume attend their meeting with Roger Martin who is as unpleasant and rude as they expected, but James manages to stay in the character of David Munro and play along. Throughout the chapter, we come across many interesting expressions including cirer les pompes de quelqu’un and en connaître un rayon. We also see a range of subjunctive triggers such as s’étonner que and falloir que.
There's also an online course version of La Vérité éclate toujours which provides access to a range of additional materials including the text of each chapter, annotated notes, language study podcasts, vocabulary lists, video versions of each episode and our atelier linguistique which helps you to take the language you've covered in each chapter further.

Introducing "Il était une fois..." from Coffee Break French

It's time for the final chapter of La Vérité éclate toujours ! In this episode, we say farewell to our cast of characters, as they say farewell to one another too. Guillaume and Liliane return to Switzerland, while James, Claire, Yvette and Louise all find themselves together in Max's hospital room. They discuss the incredible adventures they've had over the past few weeks, but as Yvette is saying goodbye to Max, we realise that there may still be more adventures ahead of them... As always, we have some interesting words and expressions for you! Listen out for: faire le point sur and an appropriate expression for the final chapter: tout est bien qui finit bien.
