They definitely didn't teach about the prevalence of "on" instead of "nous" in high school, but that was 20 years ago. Also, I seem to remember lots of the imperfect instead of the past simple in common parlance.
Salut Géraldine, Another great summary of tips. One more tip for you. At 17:03 you say 'get uzed to' - pronouncing the 's' as a 'z'. When talking about things you 'used' to do in the PAST or becoming 'used' to something (because you have repeated PAST exposure to it), the 's' is pronounced as in 'passé' - think of it as 'youst'. Items that have been made use of for some purpose are considered 'uzed' (with the 's' taking on a 'z' sound as in 'valise', eg: a used car or a used up tube of toothpaste. As I benefit a huge amount from your French, I thought you might appreciate little tips to polish your already excellent English.💙💙
I didn’t know the past participle needs to correspond with the subject pronoun. I only thought the auxiliary was conjugated and the past participle stayed the same across subject pronouns 🤯
I love the clips from films that you insert to show real world use. I would never have understood them without your help. Thank you so much

I came here to say the same! They taught us “nous” in school. So when do we use nous? Or do we not use it at all?

It's required for verbs where the auxiliary verb is être instead of avoir.
