Could you help me with these, please:
1) I don't know how to pronounce the letter @ that appears in emails. Where can I hear a correct pronunciation?
2) www. (period, dot?) (if dot, why?)
3) eladio@englishforums. (period, dot?)
4) What's the name of the symbol /?
5) What's the name of the symbol \?

1. 'at' or 'at mark'.
2. 'dot', because that is the name of it, as in 'Englishforums dot com'.
3. no period or dot, since there is no domain name following.
4. 'slash' or 'forward slash'.
5. 'backslash'.

no period or dot, since there is no domain name following.

So, if I write:
eladio@mail.edu.ar
should I pronounce?: eladio at mail dot edu dot ar
Am I right?
