VOA is a broadcasting service by American Government. As you can find in VOA top page, VOA broadcasts programs in many languages.
Is your language in the list? It doesn't matter if it is or not though. VOA provides you with more useful service. It is "Special English".
Special English is a language in many languages VOA provides. Special here means non-English-native. It is the programs for the non-English-natives. Special English has two differences than normal English. It has limited vocabulary and slower speaking.
Let's experience how Special English is "Special". Look over this article. This article is about Elvis Presley, one of the most popular American artist. I bet you simply find it easy to read. All articles are like this. Do you want to subscribe the RSS?
Next, Let's listen to the voice. Every article has a corresponding audio file. We have prepared a page which you can listen to the audio with now. Here it is. The article is the same as what you have looked before except that there is a kind of player above the article. This is our secret feature. You ask me why it is secret? Get out. You would see it through the poor skin. Oops, we were off. Be back. Click the play button on the player and you can listen to the audio. Wow, how kind they are to speak SO slowly! Whoa, we can here the songs of Elvis! Great songs! I must subscribe this podcast.
