The Voice of America

Posted by Christine in Audio, Language, News, Text, VOANews.com, tags: , ,

The Voice of America broadcasts radio programmes in ‘Special English’ using a core vocabulary of 1500 words.  It uses  short, simple sentences that contain only one idea and the active voice (rather than the passive), and it does not use idioms.  It is excellent for English learners.
