Breaking into Intermediate Lessons - Elementary/Intermediate bridge

Could anyone tell me of any intermediate lessons that I could use to really break into the intermediate lesson arena? (The more lessons the better!!!)
I've been trying to get into the Intemediate lessons for a while now but they are a little too difficult to follow and learn completely!
Thanks, Adam!!

In terms of picking easier lessons, all I can think of is to browse the lessons and, if you see some that cover topics you are familiar with, try those. As sebire says above, a lot of the difficulty is often due to being unfamiliar with a specific topic.

I think these two are the easiest. I might also suggest what tvan is saying. Get on the dialogue page before starting the lesson. You can follow along visually as well as you your ear.

It really helped me in terms of understanding Jenny in other intermediate lessons.

I think it really depends on what vocab you already know. My main problem is just not knowing enough core vocab. Also, I suggest focussing on what Jenny says rather than just the dialogue, because that's often a bit easier to understand, not least because a lot of words turn up repeatedly. I really like "What's the Story", it seems to sit nicely in between Elementary and Intermediate for me.
