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 visitor from Argentina who can't speak English very well, who has no style, and who can't do the shopping. But he is very, very handsome. Stand by for Extra.
Dear dream date. My name is Annie! I'm 19 and I love animals, and… and… and I love chocolate. Chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, boxes of chocolate, chocolate mousse…
- What are you doing, Annie?
- Nothing!
- What's this? 'Dream date, make my dream come true!'
- Oh, how did that get there?
- How sweet!
Let's go. Look left. Right. One, two, three, four, left.
- Hector!
And right.
- Hector.
- Oh, hi, Bridget.
- And up…
- And up!
And up…and down…
- Oh, well, keep going, Hector.
- Oh, I see Hector found Cindy's 101 Top Exercises, then.
- Yes!
- Oh, good try, Hector.
- But Cindy is so old- fashioned, I can teach Hector how to exercise! Exercise with Cindy, no. Exercise with Bridget, yes!
- But…!
- It's OK, I can do it! Music, please, Annie. Follow me. Arms up, touch your toes, stand straight and… one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! More energy, please! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…
