Arabic BBC on Net

Dear friends, if you have a PPP or SLIP account, then it is possible now to get the BBC on the web. For Arabic, the following is the URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/arabic. This site contains live audio streamed that you can hear if you have a player installed such as Real Audio (which you can get from www.realaudio.com). This is wonderful for students. If your throughput allows an uninterrupted transfer, you get digital quality. Students can listen to it all the time. I am contemplating an experimental class around that.

For those of you who are Alistair Cooke fans, the following is the URL for his famed "Letter from America": http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/letter_from_america/default.htm.
