Is there much difference between 计划 and 打算 ？
Mandarin Blueprint
The differences are subtle, and I'd count on your intuition as you continue to get input, but here's the low-down:
'打算' can mean 'intend to,' which helps delineate one of the differences. For example, if I say "我打算去法国旅游 Wǒ dǎsuàn qù Fǎguó lǚyóu - I intend to go to travel to France," I've not made any solid plans. It's just something I intend to do someday. It's just a thought. "我计划去法国旅游," on the other hand, is a bit more formal and the plan is set. The more objective and solid the plan is, the more appropriate 计划 is.MB Team
