🔑 The language point

  • Plans = aller + infinitive: je vais sortir, on va manger. Count how many times you hear it in one video.
  • Rien de prévu (nothing planned) — the “de + adjective” pattern after rien/quelque chose: rien de spécial, quelque chose de sympa.
  • Interviewees say on for “we” almost every time — spoken French in action.
