L’Imparfait.

2/ Des nouvelles de la France.

The new French pension reform has been approved by the government. Under the new reform, the minimum retirement age will be increased to 64 years, and the minimum monthly pension will be set at 1000 euros per month, rising to 1200 euros for those who have worked more than 40 years.

3/ SEB au Kirghizistan.

Do you know SEB la Frite? He's a quite famous French YouTuber. If you like traveling and have a good level of French, you should watch his videos. You will learn a lot and enrich your vocabulary.

Why am I talking about him today?

He just released a great documentary in Kyrgyzstan. The trailer of the documentary features stunning footage of the natural beauty and cultural diversity of the Central Asian country, showcasing its mountains, lakes, and traditional customs.
