Cultural Tip
In French, using "ça t'arrange" is very informal; with strangers or in a professional context you would switch to the polite form "ça vous arrange" or use a more neutral construction like "Quel horaire vous convient ?". Also, French speakers often prefer the phrase "Quel moment vous convient le mieux ?" in formal settings.
