Speaking Spanish

[Dan Romanchik]

One thing you might want to do is to tune in via the Internet to
Spanish-lanugage broadcasts. VTuner.Com lists many radio and TV stations
that are available. My favorites from Spain include:

Radio Exterior de Espana (http://www.rtve.es/rne/audio/reelive.ram) and
Canal Sur from Andalucia
(rtsp://emision.canalsur.es/encoder/andaluciatv.rm). Also, interesting is TV
Galicia (http://www.crtvg.es/reals/gal_tv.ram). The dialect is noticeably
different from Castilian.

You'll need the latest RealPlayer to see/hear these stations.
