A cool TV series, a funny sitcom, and an English course, all wrapped in one single package to make Extr@, the perfect way of learning natural English having fun.

Annie and Bridget share a flat. Their next-door neighbour Nick is a disorganized, humorous macho fellow. Bridget's Argentinean penpal, Hector, comes to London to visit her. His limited command of English serves as the central dynamic for the language learning content of the series. His trying to get to grips with the daily English is highly amusing (and enlightening).

You do not need a tutor. The programme EXTR@ will get you a unique opportunity in the shortest time possible to extend your vocabulary and learn perfect pronunciation. Inspecting an entertaining video, words and phrases common in everyday situations, will be assimilated and remembered by you without much effort.

This is the story of two girls who share a flat in London.
They have a neighbour, Nick, who likes Bridget.
But Annie likes Nick.
That is until Hector arrives from Argentina, and Hector is very, very handsome.
Stand by for Extra.

- What's he like? Oh, Argentinean, tall, handsome.
- Wow, fantastic, a new boyfriend for you... maybe.
- Maybe, but don't tell Bridget.
- Hector, please, call me Gigi.
- 'Oh, Hector, call me Gigi.'
- Must go, more news later. A.
Is Hector still asleep?
Yep.
Hector, wakey- wakey. Come on. Rise and shine.
Sweet.
Oh, Good morning.
Oh, good morning.
No, no, no. Good morning.
Oh, good morening
No, Hector. I have a cold.
And so have I.
Oh, you have a cold, Bridget.
Yes, I have a cold.
Yes. We have a cold.
So let's begin again. Good morning.
Good morning.
Oh, never mind. Hector, would you like some… new pyjamas?
Hector, please excuse me for a moment. Pssst. Annie. Bathroom. Now.
Good morning.
Good morning. Is it fancy dress?
Fancy dress? Yes.
Oh. Nice. Hey. Nice car, eh?
I have this car at home.
Wow. You have this car at home? Girls must love you.
Girls? No.
No? Hector, can I tell you something?
OK.
The car looks good.
Yeah?
So you must look good too.
I look good.
No. You don't look good. But I can help.
OK.
OK. Yes.
Hector's clothes are awful.
They're so old-fashioned.
I know. I'll take him shopping.
But, Bridget, you are so busy. I'll take him shopping.
No, it's all right, I'll take him shopping.
It's no problem, I'll take him.
I said I'll take him shopping!

You need a look like on a fast bike.
No, no, no, Hector, don't listen to Nick. Listen to me.
OK.
You need a designer look.
No, no, no, Hector, that's not for you. You need, you need…a cowboy look.
No, no. A leather jacket.
A bandanna and a vest.
A denim shirt.
A motorbike.
Designer.

No, me.
He's my pen friend.
All right. Me, you and you will go shopping for Hector a little bit each. I will go to the shoe shop.
And I will go to the clothes shop.

Huh?
Never mind.

Hi sweetie, I wanted to buy Hector some new clothes on my own
I'll take him shopping.
But Annie and Nick said they wanted to shop for Hector as well. So guess what, we're all going shopping for Hector.
Me, you and you will go shopping for Hector, a little bit each.
