In Extr@, four attractive 19–22 year olds are thrown together to play out their romances, life crises and contrasting
interests in a familiar sitcom setting. A fundamental complication in their relationship is that one of the four is an
outsider, Sam, with only a very basic grasp of Spanish. Sam’s efforts to get to grips with the language provide the
central dynamic for the series’ language learning content. What makes Extr@ different is that the scripts have
been carefully written so that the language is simple and accessible at all levels. Covering all the main
programmes of study, the scripts combine wit, strong character identification and a good dose of physical humor.
