Voice of America radio, as a part of its Learning English program, has an "Special English" feature, a set of articles and histories, spoken at half the normal speed, and with the complete translations.

And it is for free!! ;-)

Here is a link to its web site: Voice of America: Learning English.

Learning a language from an expert, on the web

Hello Everybody. The topic of our last meeting was this Article on New York Times newspaper  (Thanks Fernando and Paul). We also speak
about Ferias of Guadalajara,singers: Bisbal against Rosa and many, many other funny things.. :-)



Mmm.. has someone tried yet one of the web pages recommended on it?

Who we are..

Who are you?
 - We are a club of English language and culture friends.

Really? And what activities do you have?
- We met every thursday from 19:00 to 21:00 in order to talk in english. Usually we have a topic of the day in order to break the ice, but usually the conversation flows by itself and we have fun talking about lots of things.

Well, it sounds quite well.. every thursday.. mm.. Where do you met??
- In the Civic Centre of Guadalajara, on the fourth floor, it is on Plaza del Concejo number 11. There's an small map below..

But... You're an association, so it's for free?

- No, we're sorry. Why don't you try next thursday? Met us, talk and enjoy.
If you like it and decide to be a member it's only 20 Euros a year, and we have a lot of resources, such a library service with lots of books, games and films, and the magazines Think in English, Speak Up and National Geographic.
