Voice of America is an excellent web page that offers very valuable material for learning American English and much more besides. If with "BBC Learning English" we can practice British English, with "VOA Special English" we can listen to very interesting podcasts spoken with an American accent.
From my experience, I would say that the American accent is much easier that the British, the Irish or the Australian one. That?s why it?s a good idea to listen to different accents, including American ones, to help improve our aural skills.
Why is this resource so attractive?
