VoA Special English
Three Elements Make Special English unique. 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 writers use short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. They
use active voice. They do not use idioms.
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. It also
helps people who are fluent English speakers understand complex subjects.

months, the diarists kept audio journals and record the sounds and scenes of
everyday life behind bars: shakedowns, new inmate arrivals, roll call, monthly family
visits, meals at the chow hall, and quiet moments late at night inside a cell.
