THE WEBSITE THROUGH THE YEARS


This is your chance to see some classic BBC Learning English (and BBC English) pages from the past. You'll find one of our earliest pages (dated April 3rd, 1996) and examples of some of the pages Hamish mentioned. We've also highlighted our early attempts at animated gifs. What do you think?

Note: Most of the links on the special archive pages do not work.

We'll be adding more pages from the past as time goes by, so keep checking to see what you have missed.
