extra (stylized as extr@) is a language education television programme franchise that was scripted in the format of a Friends-esque sitcom.
The series is particularly suitable for adolescents and young adults who can relate to the contextual setting and implied meanings in the screenplay.
The series ended with Sam and Annie's wedding being canceled, ending with a cliff-hanger; however, the English version had 17 more episodes which provides a better understanding of the character, continuing with Nico and Sacha beginning to date and facing problems, and Sam and Annie wanting to break up.
Bridget (Sacha, Sascha, Lola) shares a flat in London (Paris, Berlin, Barcelona) with her friend Annie (Anna, Ana).
She receives a letter from her former pen pal Hector from Argentina (Sam from America) announcing his visit.
When he actually appears, his knowledge of the English (French, German, Spanish) language turns out to be very poor.
They suggest to Nick (Nico, Pablo), a neighbor who now appears, that he should teach Hector English (French, German, Spanish) lessons while they go grocery shopping.
Jealous Nick slyly teaches Hector words with which he later unsuspectingly annoy Annie.
He also encourages Hector to prove his fitness on Bridget's exercise bike, even though he knows that she doesn't tolerate strangers on it.
[20] Bridget, Annie and Nick are upset about Hector's old-fashioned style of dress and want to give him a new outfit.
After the three practise shopping with Hector in the local language, he goes off himself and, amazingly, returns shortly afterwards in a fashionable outfit.
Bridget, Nick and Annie now realise that he ordered one item incorrectly and bought 12 dozen instead of 12 eggs.
The latter then places a dating ad on the internet claiming that they are both millionaires, when in fact this is only true of Hector.
Meanwhile, Hector sprays the plant with perfume instead of watering it and puts his red T-shirt inside the white underwear, which has to be washed very hot.
