After undergoing brain surgery, Jaël wakes up having forgotten 40 years of her life. She no longer knows who she is. She doesn’t recognize her son or her husband. Her memory is a blank slate.

In this course, we dive into this moving and extraordinary story. As we listen to Jaël’s testimony, we’ll reflect on deep questions about identity and self-reinvention: What would we need to relearn first? What might we learn differently the second time around? What is truly essential and what isn’t? Should we live the same life we had before? Can we start over and live a completely different way? And what matters most when life starts again? These questions will guide us through a series of grammar reviews, helping you express reflection, possibility, and transformation in French.
