Voice of America Special English Dictionary - Pronunciation File Added

Thursday July 12, 2007
This Special English Dictionary contains about 1,500 words and makes an excellent vocabulary goal for intermediate level learners. Each word now includes a definition and an audio file with the correct pronunciation. Broadcasts of the VOA use this Special English Dictionary as the basis for broadcasts, allowing you to prepare yourself for listening practice. Of course, some might say that the VOA provides a rather one-sided point of view. That may well be the case, however, for listening comprehension practice the broadcast provides an excellent resource.

Excellent tool for students having problems in listening, because they are shy or because they need to listen several times for a word and the class time for this practice does not allow it. Congratulations for your great ideas!
