"Beginner" and "Intermediate" are relative terms in the world of Real English.
There are easy and difficult videos in the 3 intermediate sections.

An important point: Students who have not lived in an English-speaking country should begin with Lesson 1! Real English is different. The people in the videos are spontaneous. Spontaneity is difficult, just like real situations with strangers are difficult. The people seem to speak fast, but in reality, they are speaking at normal speed.

Here is a list of all videos with complete sets of exercises

Lesson 16b - Lisa
This is Lisa's first trip abroad, and it's funny to see how she attempts to adapt to a new culture.
Level: Intermediate - Exercises 16b

Lesson 17 - Five Nationalities - 4/5 What are the Italians like?
The Italians receive great compliments as well as near-insults as do all the nationalities in this series of Stereotypes. The grammar focuses on "is", "are" and "like" as an adverb, plus adjectives. The advanced structures have been left out of the lesson videos so as to have a coherent lesson for beginners.

Level: Beginner - Lesson 17 Exercises

Lesson 18 - Five Nationalities - 5/5 What are the Germans like?
We will make a new version of these videos concerning the Italians and Germans, in order to have real beginner material. In its present form, this is a bit more advanced.
