In addition to my podcast, there are many resources on the Internet for people who wish to learn English. I shall discuss four that I think are particularly good. In the box to the right entitled "Resources on the Web," you can click on the link and go directly to the site.
News in Simple English - is a news podcast by the Voice of America. The podcast uses a simple English with a limited vacabulary in order that novices can better understand it.
VOA News Podcasts - are various news podcasts by the Voice of America. While not specifically intended to teach English, the speakers do speak very clearly.
Words and Their Stories - short five-minute podcasts that discuss English idioms, slang, and common sayings.
English as a Second Language - podcasts prepared by professional educators designed to teach English to non-native speakers.
For those of you who would like a good reference book on English grammar, I would recommend the Harbrace College Handbook. The most recent edition is the 13th; however, the older editions are available for very little money, and will serve you just as well.
