3 New interactive DVDs to complement our extr@ foreign language range.


Extr@, our Channel 4 Learning flagship language series, now includes 3 new DVDis. The brand already consists of 13x26 television episodes available for broadcast and publication on video/DVD along with 9 interactive CD-ROMs.

What is extr@
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 the featured language. Sams efforts to get to grips with the language provide the central dynamic for the series language learning content.

What makes Extr@ different
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 humour. The style and storylines make instant connections with the target age group of 1419.
