VOA Learning English


The Voice of America (VOA) is one of the world's most trusted sources for news and information from the United States and around the world. On the other hand, it is also a helpful website for students who are learning English. It has a core vocabulary of 1500 words.  Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions.  Some words are more difficult.  They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English broadcasters read at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of standard English.  This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. Therefore, I can enlarge my vocabulary and improve my listening skill.
