Hello guys!
I was trying to write a paper on "seti" in my language .... Right now,
I'm having trouble pronouncing the words "Arecibo" and "Parkes". Can
you please help me regarding this?
Thanks.

Raqueeb Hassan,

Parkes  = PARKs
Arecibo = Arr rah SEE' bow 
(Arr -as in the word arrow)
(bow [arrow-shooter] rhymes with "tow" [to pull], and not with "cow"
[animal])
"Arecibo" is not English, so everybody here is equally lost, trying to
speak the language of somebody else.  :-)
