Students who watch this on request of their teachers don't realize that, but the show is pretty amazing. With all the limitations they had to deal with in order to make this show comprehensive for the beginners, they actually created a quite compelling story with some pretty interesting character arcs. Didn't watch other versions, but I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same script - it just works so well. If somebody involved in the creation of this series is reading this, I want to say Thank You, this series is very helpful in the process of learning French
@@luji9176 the joke is he keeps misspeaking and misunderstanding meanings of words. the og comment is making a joke saying he was intentional when he obviously wasn't. take a joke, my friends.
I guess the idea is that Sam confused "museum" with "maison" in the French version, and with "mansion" and "mansión" in the English and Spanish versions, respectively.
The brilliant thing about these conversations is that Sam doesn't quite get the subtle pronunciations of French, so the other characters always repeat after him the way it should be pronounced. We learn from his mistakes.
parce que la conerie fascine , j'avais jamais vu cette merde et je suis rester devant pendant 10 minutes , c'est tres long 10 minutes quand t'a compris au bout d'une seule minute que c'etait pas regardable
True, I understood roughly 50% of the dialogue just from context. And the subtitles are really helpful :> (if only they could be downloaded somehow...)
@@brianbv9605 That would be an overkill :J But I found a different solution: Click on the "..." menu under the bottom-right corner of the video and pick "Open transcript" from the drop-down menu. Then the full list of subtitles will show up to the right of the video. You can select it and copy-paste to a text file.
I’m sitting here thinking how good I’m getting good at French since I can understand most of this show. I didn’t know it was aimed at students lol. It’s actually a good show. It made me laugh.
I've watched it multiple times in various languages. Its so amazingly bad and cliche, I love it. And insanely simple and great for learning, specially when rewatching. I thank everyone who made this possible!
Theyve done studies which show that language learners who watch with subtitles improve understanding rapidly at the beginning, then plateau and then over time their listening comprehension then nose dives, as their reading skills improve, as they become dependent on the subs and they stop listening, whilst those who listen without subtitles improve their listening comprehension more slowly, but over time get much better at it. I encourage my students to do both, using subs when needed to gain full comprehension, but to eventually learn to listen without needing the subs. Especially if your mother tongue is phonetic, like Spanish, you have to learn to listen with your ears and not your eyes! Do what works for you :)
@@soraiya2065 Great advise Soraiya, thank you! I have been learning french for the past 3 months, I always listen with subtitles, I have improved a lot, and now I’m able to “listen with my ears”, as you say, but I believe what you say it’s true. For me, the best method with short videos is watch twice without subtitles, and then with subtitles once or twice, depending on the difficulty, and I thank that has made me improve a lot.
@@justanotherparasite1444 This is a lovely way to learn. The first two times you're testing your listening and tuning your ears, and then getting 100% comprehension by reading the subs. :)
My German teacher showed me the Extra German version of this years ago... I thought I was having a stroke when I realised how eerily similar it was until I checked the comments...
i've been studying french in school, and with the captions on in this show, i understood most words and phrases. it was really funny, and at some times i felt as if i was watching a show i would normally watch
Yeah, I wish there were more comedy shows like that with subtitles on youtube. I know it's cheesy but at least it's self-aware and the best option to learn French I could find.

The more I start to understand french over the years, the more I begin to realize why Sam fell for Annie and not Sasha. Because in the beginning Annie was more respectful of Sam and accepted him for his little mistakes while Sasha was annoyed with him.
Hello, I work for a federal agency. 'Sam Scott' is believed at this time to be a citizen or national of a northern European country who poses as a wealthy American to ingratiate himself into the lives of his unsuspecting victims in order to procure free housing and ultimately defraud them out of large sums of money. He is known to have operated in France, Spain and is suspected to have run the same con in Germany. I advise you under penalty of law to disclose any information you have which could be used to assist in the apprehension of this international fugitive.
Jonathan Neal So good! Thank you for that! But seriously, his English accent is not from a native. As an American myself he is very obviously not British, Irish, American, Canadian, Aus, NZ or South African. :)
I found this to be really funny and cute! I could understand some of it and inferred the rest, I will have to watch it again further along in my studies and see how much I know as I go on.

I remember this so very well in the 1990s. I love the French, German and Spanish versions so very much. Lang time no see. I miss them all so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭 🥰🇯🇲🏴🕊️🔥✝️
Love it. They are speaking clear enough and not too fast. Even when it's a little fast they speak very clear. It is perfect for someone between the beginning and intermediate level of French like myself. Thanks guys.
I'm a beginner at French, and I found this easy to understand! I'll keep watching to gain more knowledge :) Merci beaucoup pour votre video. C'est tellement drôle lol
It is slowed in order to give you the ability to tune your ears to the fast french dialogue. Same with Spanish. It can often be too fast and fluid for non native speakers to pick up on the individual words and phrases so slowing it allows for an easier time with this.
Sam... :D from Wikipedia: Lars Oostveen (Heiloo, Netherlands, 6 September 1976) (also known by his pseudonym Lawrence Ray) is a Dutch presenter, producer and actor. He became known as VJ at MTV Europe as Vico and Maes Country in the Dutch TV series Lotte. Biography After high school, Oostveen studied International Management at the HEAO and attended an acting course at the Mountview Theatre School in London. He also attended several workshops in the field of media presentation and interview techniques, and he took part in the Leadership Development Program at Nyenrode Business University. Career[edit] Oostveen gained international fame in 1996 when he was cast as a VJ by MTV during a working holiday in an Italian ski resort. From London he presented a live program Select MTV five days a week where he interviewed big stars. After he stopped at the station in 1999, he settled in London as an actor and played in several stage productions, television series and films in England and Germany, including a Jeroen Krabbé orchestrated filming of Mulisch's bestseller The Discovery of Heaven . Then in 2006 he returned to the Netherlands, and became a star in the television series Lotte. From 2002 to 2004 he played in all 13 episodes of the French, German and Spanish version of the course Extr@ in the role of Sam Scott. Before Lotte began in 2004, Oostveen was beginning a documentary by Discovery Channel of 700 candidates selected to participate in "Reel Race", a springboard for emerging talent. Although Oostveen is still acting and leaving voice-overs, he focuses mainly on presenting and producing content challenging projects for radio, television and online. He presented a radio program on city Amsterdam FM transmitter for broadcasting and the Salto report of Sail Amsterdam 2010. He also interviewed for the Election Omroepman / Woman of the Year for Broadcast Magazine heavyweights like Paul Witteman, Frits Barend, Erland Galjaard and Peter R. de Vries.[1] In addition, Oostveen is attached as a producer to Eager Films, where he makes productions for major clients such as Exact and E.ON. Oostveen speaks, besides Dutch and English, fluent Spanish, German and Italian.
I'm glad I found this, this is a better way for me to improve my French than the little show I found previously. I did google quite a few words while watching this video but I definitely understood a lot!
I tried to watch this when I first started to learn French. I am re-watching now with subtitles, but it is very cool to see how much I understand even without the subtitles!!!! YAY!!! In fact I caught a wrong translation or two. So excited!
I FINALLY FOUND THIS AFTER YEARS OF LOOKING FOR IT I REMEMBER IN SCHOOL IN FRENCH CLASS WE HAD TO WATCH THIS I LOVED IT OMG THANK YOU UPLOADER FOR UPLOADING THIS TO YT
I know it isn't the best show for entertainment but I must say it's helped me retain a lot of words I've been learning because I keep seeing them being used over and over again in different situations during the show so it is helpful
C'est une histoire de deux amies qui partagent un appartement en france elles ont un voisin qu'il s' appelle nico cet personne il est amoureux de sacha et annie est amoureuse de nico saha elle reçoit une lettre d'Amérique de sa correspondant qui s' appelle sam scott elles croyaient qu'il est un bon mec musclé joli sexy et riche comme brad pitt mais malheureusement il est complètement différent de ses croyances ..........
After about a month of learning French I can understand 80% or what’s said without subtitles. As an English speaker French is very easy for me to learn. Duolingo has been extremely useful for me. Highly recommend it, whilst also using videos like this to practice listening and other websites to pick up on sentence structure, grammar etc.
I am SO glad I found this. I'm supposed to hand in an assignment for French class and I have to watch four episodes of a French show of 25/30 minutes and write a summary of each episode in Dutch (my native language). This show is perfect for this assignment! I had been searching for French shows for an hour and I finally found one that's not that difficult to follow, so now I finally have courage for the assignment!
As of now I'm Advanced in French, and this here is what I first watched as a beginner back 4 years ago it brings back so much memories! I totally recommend it to beginners, et courage à vous tous/toutes !
Love this show. Thanks for sharing. I studied French at school and it was taught in such a boring way that I didn't get far with it. This show actually makes me want to find out what the words are and practice them so great video, thanks for sharing
I have to watch the first 3 episodes today and I have to admit it is actually entertaining and easy to understand! Plus I learn to understand French better!
i'm American in the eighth grade (i believe that's grade 9 for other places like Canada and France) and my school doesn't really enforce learning different languages till high school or upper school, or whatever you wanna call it. I barely understood anything in the show, but i got the jist of the plot. I'm to learn french because most of the world knows two languages and i know only one. I use duolingo to help me learn and i'm gonna try to watch French shows for immersion. Anyone got any tips or other shows for me to watch. I'm like at the very beginner stage. I know a few phrases, some adjectives, some foods and animals, but that's about it.
C'est bien, je suis canadien et canaiden's parlent francais dupuis la 3a année. Et oui, je sais, americans ne parlent pas fFancais oú Espanol, c'est bizzare. Je parle anglais aussi mais j'apprends le français donc je préfère écrire en français.
that is a bit weird. I wish they would enforce learning languages more, but they don't. They barely teach the students in my school spanish correctly. Many kids who are taking spanish in my school say they barely understand anything the lady's teaching. I'm starting now so i can get a headstart before i go to highschool. i should be learning spanish though because most likely i'm gonna take spanish when i get to highschool
Good on you for taking the initiative to pursue another language. Another video series that I highly recommend is "French in Action". It's a bit more involved than extr@ but it is well worth it. The videos arent on youtube, but if google search "French in Action 01" you will find it on other streaming sites. There are also corresponding workbooks and a textbook if you want to buy those off amazon and get even more out of it(that's what I did), but there is plenty of value to be had from the videos alone. Good luck.
Yes, start young. The best way to learn a language is to go live abroad. You can do this in high school or college. I did it in college for 5 years. So much fun!
I started with duolingo which got my foot in the door of french, even without knowing one word of it when I started. Other things that have helped me is Learn French with Alexa and Memrise. I really suggest you try those two out! Plus, they're free. If you are okay with paying, I use Mind Snacks (French version). I think it's only like $2 if I remember correctly. It's so fun, and it teaches you fast response times with translation and understanding!
(Soy profesor de inglés y ahora estoy aprendiendo francés por mi cuenta): EXCELENTE, EXCELENTE, EXCELENTE. Este es un buen modo de aprender francés. Hasta ahora había hecho cursos por internet donde sólo había palabras, palabras y algún texto. Pero EXTRA son personas en acción. Uno aprende pronunciando y viendo sus acciones. Es un acercamiento a la vida real. Muchas gracias a la persona que ha puesto estos vídeos a disposición de la gente, gracias a los actores y productores de la serie. Hay 7 capítulos en youtube y creo que existen hasta 14 o 15.¿ Por que no se pone el resto de capítulos? gracias
Guessing you have seen the Spanish version of EXTRA? With "Lola, Ana, and Pablo" as the other characters. I am learning a lot from it. I found it first and now found this French version. I love it! I took French in High School and, learned more as the years went by. I went to Paris for my 50th birthday and want to go to Paris again this summer, so this will be perfect to practice/learn more before I go.

so very much.
Lang time no see.
I miss them all so much
😭😭😭😭😭😭
🥰🇯🇲🏴🕊️🔥✝️
Love it. They are speaking clear enough and not too fast. Even when it's a little fast they speak very clear. It is perfect for someone between the beginning and intermediate level of French like myself. Thanks guys.
I'm a beginner at French, and I found this easy to understand! I'll keep watching to gain more knowledge :)
Merci beaucoup pour votre video. C'est tellement drôle lol
Soooo glad these are on youtube! Brings back memories from french in school
Man I just remembered watching this in French class the other day and decided to look it up.
Why do I actually understand this I normally don’t understand anything French cause of slang and how fast they speak.
It is slowed in order to give you the ability to tune your ears to the fast french dialogue. Same with Spanish. It can often be too fast and fluid for non native speakers to pick up on the individual words and phrases so slowing it allows for an easier time with this.
Sam... :D
from Wikipedia: Lars Oostveen (Heiloo, Netherlands, 6 September 1976) (also known by his pseudonym Lawrence Ray) is a Dutch presenter, producer and actor. He became known as VJ at MTV Europe as Vico and Maes Country in the Dutch TV series Lotte.
Biography
After high school, Oostveen studied International Management at the HEAO and attended an acting course at the Mountview Theatre School in London. He also attended several workshops in the field of media presentation and interview techniques, and he took part in the Leadership Development Program at Nyenrode Business University.
Career[edit]
Oostveen gained international fame in 1996 when he was cast as a VJ by MTV during a working holiday in an Italian ski resort. From London he presented a live program Select MTV five days a week where he interviewed big stars.
After he stopped at the station in 1999, he settled in London as an actor and played in several stage productions, television series and films in England and Germany, including a Jeroen Krabbé orchestrated filming of Mulisch's bestseller The Discovery of Heaven . Then in 2006 he returned to the Netherlands, and became a star in the television series Lotte.
From 2002 to 2004 he played in all 13 episodes of the French, German and Spanish version of the course Extr@ in the role of Sam Scott.
Before Lotte began in 2004, Oostveen was beginning a documentary by Discovery Channel of 700 candidates selected to participate in "Reel Race", a springboard for emerging talent. Although Oostveen is still acting and leaving voice-overs, he focuses mainly on presenting and producing content challenging projects for radio, television and online. He presented a radio program on city Amsterdam FM transmitter for broadcasting and the Salto report of Sail Amsterdam 2010. He also interviewed for the Election Omroepman / Woman of the Year for Broadcast Magazine heavyweights like Paul Witteman, Frits Barend, Erland Galjaard and Peter R. de Vries.[1] In addition, Oostveen is attached as a producer to Eager Films, where he makes productions for major clients such as Exact and E.ON.
Oostveen speaks, besides Dutch and English, fluent Spanish, German and Italian.
Anyone else watched this show in French class (if you took French high school) raise your hands. Every Friday we would watch an episode. I loved it.
j'aime beaucoup cette séries, merci beaucoup, parce que je comprend toutes ce qui vous dire
I'm glad I found this, this is a better way for me to improve my French than the little show I found previously. I did google quite a few words while watching this video but I definitely understood a lot!
I have watched these all so many times! Thank you :)
c'est très facile à comprendre et en même temps amusant merci beaucoup pour le partage
I'm learning French and this series it's so useful. Merci!
I tried to watch this when I first started to learn French. I am re-watching now with subtitles, but it is very cool to see how much I understand even without the subtitles!!!! YAY!!! In fact I caught a wrong translation or two. So excited!
I FINALLY FOUND THIS AFTER YEARS OF LOOKING FOR IT I REMEMBER IN SCHOOL IN FRENCH CLASS WE HAD TO WATCH THIS I LOVED IT OMG THANK YOU UPLOADER FOR UPLOADING THIS TO YT
Literally what I’m doing rn!!
I know it isn't the best show for entertainment but I must say it's helped me retain a lot of words I've been learning because I keep seeing them being used over and over again in different situations during the show so it is helpful
Спасибо французам за то, что так четко выговаривают слова
C'est une histoire de deux amies qui partagent un appartement en france elles ont un voisin qu'il s' appelle nico cet personne il est amoureux de sacha et annie est amoureuse de nico saha elle reçoit une lettre d'Amérique de sa correspondant qui s' appelle sam scott elles croyaient qu'il est un bon mec musclé joli sexy et riche comme brad pitt mais malheureusement il est complètement différent de ses croyances ..........
Ok
Well whether the series is funny or not it seems to be a so dumb plot.
After about a month of learning French I can understand 80% or what’s said without subtitles. As an English speaker French is very easy for me to learn. Duolingo has been extremely useful for me. Highly recommend it, whilst also using videos like this to practice listening and other websites to pick up on sentence structure, grammar etc.
Ive been learning for a week now (many hours a day), and understand maybe 30%.
Did you continue learning?
Which websites for grammar may I ask?
Merci beaucoup. Cette série est vraiment amusante et aussi très facile à comprendre.
I've been learning French for almost 4 months now..so this show is good to learn...merci!
Maintenant tu méprise bien le français non
I am SO glad I found this. I'm supposed to hand in an assignment for French class and I have to watch four episodes of a French show of 25/30 minutes and write a summary of each episode in Dutch (my native language). This show is perfect for this assignment! I had been searching for French shows for an hour and I finally found one that's not that difficult to follow, so now I finally have courage for the assignment!
I actually really enjoy this. Not just for learning French but the series is actually good. 😂
As of now I'm Advanced in French, and this here is what I first watched as a beginner back 4 years ago it brings back so much memories! I totally recommend it to beginners, et courage à vous tous/toutes !
C'est la seule série qui m'a fait aimer la langue française et mon merveilleux professeur, Karim au Collège Montmorency, a mes salutations
Love this show. Thanks for sharing. I studied French at school and it was taught in such a boring way that I didn't get far with it. This show actually makes me want to find out what the words are and practice them so great video, thanks for sharing
I wanted to test my french after many years learning and i was so surprised to be able to understand nearly all of this.
i understand all and I only have 3 months studying french (Sorry if a wrote bad my languaje is spanish)
I have to watch the first 3 episodes today and I have to admit it is actually entertaining and easy to understand! Plus I learn to understand French better!
I didn't expect this to actually be funny as i learn (its easy to understand) french
i'm American in the eighth grade (i believe that's grade 9 for other places like Canada and France) and my school doesn't really enforce learning different languages till high school or upper school, or whatever you wanna call it. I barely understood anything in the show, but i got the jist of the plot. I'm to learn french because most of the world knows two languages and i know only one. I use duolingo to help me learn and i'm gonna try to watch French shows for immersion. Anyone got any tips or other shows for me to watch. I'm like at the very beginner stage. I know a few phrases, some adjectives, some foods and animals, but that's about it.
C'est bien, je suis canadien et canaiden's parlent francais dupuis la 3a année. Et oui, je sais, americans ne parlent pas fFancais oú Espanol, c'est bizzare. Je parle anglais aussi mais j'apprends le français donc je préfère écrire en français.
that is a bit weird. I wish they would enforce learning languages more, but they don't. They barely teach the students in my school spanish correctly. Many kids who are taking spanish in my school say they barely understand anything the lady's teaching. I'm starting now so i can get a headstart before i go to highschool. i should be learning spanish though because most likely i'm gonna take spanish when i get to highschool
Good on you for taking the initiative to pursue another language. Another video series that I highly recommend is "French in Action". It's a bit more involved than extr@ but it is well worth it. The videos arent on youtube, but if google search "French in Action 01" you will find it on other streaming sites. There are also corresponding workbooks and a textbook if you want to buy those off amazon and get even more out of it(that's what I did), but there is plenty of value to be had from the videos alone. Good luck.
Yes, start young. The best way to learn a language is to go live abroad. You can do this in high school or college. I did it in college for 5 years. So much fun!
I started with duolingo which got my foot in the door of french, even without knowing one word of it when I started. Other things that have helped me is Learn French with Alexa and Memrise. I really suggest you try those two out! Plus, they're free. If you are okay with paying, I use Mind Snacks (French version). I think it's only like $2 if I remember correctly. It's so fun, and it teaches you fast response times with translation and understanding!
j'adore cette émission, c’est très facile à comprendre, et c’est si amusant et un bon moyen d'améliorer mes français 😊
this is one of the shows made
the actors are acting
the voices are indeed voices
and the plot is definitely a plot
thank you so much for sharing this. I'm a lucky man to have found this.
(Soy profesor de inglés y ahora estoy aprendiendo francés por mi cuenta): EXCELENTE, EXCELENTE, EXCELENTE. Este es un buen modo de aprender francés. Hasta ahora había hecho cursos por internet donde sólo había palabras, palabras y algún texto. Pero EXTRA son personas en acción. Uno aprende pronunciando y viendo sus acciones. Es un acercamiento a la vida real. Muchas gracias a la persona que ha puesto estos vídeos a disposición de la gente, gracias a los actores y productores de la serie. Hay 7 capítulos en youtube y creo que existen hasta 14 o 15.¿ Por que no se pone el resto de capítulos? gracias
Guessing you have seen the Spanish version of EXTRA? With "Lola, Ana, and Pablo" as the other characters. I am learning a lot from it. I found it first and now found this French version. I love it! I took French in High School and, learned more as the years went by. I went to Paris for my 50th birthday and
want to go to Paris again this summer, so this will be perfect to practice/learn more before I go.
I like Sam doesn't know french but tries his best to understand it. This story also makes you wanna watch more of it.
I extremely enjoyed this video. PLEASE post more!
C'est vraiment très super pour aprendre la langue française et très facile 😊
I feel I can learn French well with this series, so funny entertaining💜
This is like watching "The Room". J'adore le concept
This show is very amazing and also inspirable 😊
I had no idea EXTRA was done in French too, I loved it back in the day!! Fab, I really ought to start learning French seriously.
Me and my classmates were just cringing the wholr time. Apart from that it is great to imrpove your french. Greets from the Netherlands❤
Merci beaucoup pour le partage de cette vidéo. C'est très drôle et utile aussi pour apprendre le français 😊
