Just imagine: You’re on the subway, playing around on your phone or lost in thoughts, when suddenly a flash mob materializes — and you're in the middle of a professional choir singing Christmas carols! It happened in Stuttgart, when the SWR (Southwest Broadcasting) Vocal Ensemble brought Christmas cheer to a car packed with passengers – some of whom were moved to sing along.

„Nicos Weg“ is a series for German learners. In the first episode, Nico is listening to German lessons when he runs into Emma and her mother.

As Nico leaves the airport, he has some bad luck with his suitcase.

Nico's bag was accidentally loaded into a taxi and driven away! Luckily, someone offers to help.

Nico still doesn't have his luggage, and can't exactly remember his aunt's address. Lisa and Emma offer to give him a ride into the city.

Nico learns how to tell Emma and Lisa his name in German. When they stop to put gas in the car, he sees something he recognizes.

Nico thinks he has maybe found his bag, but no such luck.

Nico, Lisa, and Emma run into Lisa's friend Max, who suggests that they get Lisa's father to help with Nico's situation.

Lisa calls her father, a policeman, to see if he can help find Nico's aunt.

Nico and Emma play a game in the car just before Lisa drops her off at a birthday party.

While Lisa drops Emma off at a birthday party, Nico waits in the car and hears something interesting on the radio.

Nico has the bold idea to call a radio station and tell them about his missing bag.

Nico and Lisa go to the police station, where her father files the little information Nico can give him.

Nico goes to the "Wohngemeinschaft" ("WG") where Lisa lives and meets her housemates, who are getting ready for a party.
