The BBC World Service is launching its first online soap opera to help listeners learn English. The Flatmates, a drama about a group of multi-cultural young people in Britain, will launch on the net on 1 August.
Visitors will be able to hear and read a new episode every week, in a bid to teach the language “as it is lived and spoken”. Fans will also be able to decide what happens to the characters through online votes.
