Описание: THE MAKING OF A NATION has a loyal following. In fact, listener research finds it the most popular weekly program in VOA Special English.

It started in May of nineteen sixty-nine. Some people can remember when THE MAKING OF A NATION was on the radio two times a week. People who grew up listening to it are old enough now to listen with their own children, or even their grandchildren.

The series tells a story. You can think of it not just as a series of programs about the history of America and its people, but a series of lessons. The subjects include exploration, revolution, civil war, social and political change, the rise of industry and modern technology, and more.

In a sense, THE MAKING OF A NATION is a living history. Yet some of the announcers are no longer even alive after all these years.

Here and there, too, the language may sound a little dated. For example, some of the programs call black people Negroes. The use of that term may be historically correct, but today the socially accepted name is African-American.

The Voice of America has been broadcasting programs in Special English since 1959. Special English is VOA’s method of communicating with English learners around the world in a way that is easy to understand. The vocabulary is limited to about 1,500 words. The sentences are short. The speed is slower than normal.

Special English programs are broadcast on the Voice of America, on radio stations around the world, on satellite television and on the Internet. These programs present the latest world news as well as information about science, medicine, education, economics, American history and life in the United States.

This book explains the meaning of the words used in our broadcasts and on our Web site.The first edition was published in 1962. The list of words has changed since then, as the language itself has changed. We thank all those people at VOA who started the process and who helped make this edition possible.

You can download transcripts and audio files of our programs at our Web site, www.VOASpecialEnglish.com. You can also get details of where to find our programs on radio and television.

Доп. информация:
Новые серии будут добавляться ...Всего на сегодняшний день есть 238 выпусков.
Первый выпуск ищите 4 октября 2007 года(в папке 2007)
На сегодняшний день последний выпуск (236) был 11 апреля 2012 году. Так что через пару недель завершается очередной круг выпусков. Возможно будут выпущены новые свежие выпуски, которых не было ранее, и они будут добавлены в раздачу.
Так же в раздаче есть выпуски с 180 по 238 прошлого круга. Там, по-моему, был другой диктор, и немного отличается информация (закинул на всякий случай. Вдруг кому-то голос больше понравится). При желании остальное сможете взять по ссылкам из файла "Содержание" в формате WORD.
Дикторы говорят не слишком медленно, но при этом очень чётко. В программах используется ограниченное количество общеупотребительных слов (1500), что позволяет быстрее освоить язык. Данный набор постоянно редактируется и собран в словарь WordBook (присутствует в раздаче)
Маркировка файлов :
Например файл special200701180202.mp3 (даю расшифровку в порядке очерёдности):special+ год(2007)+месяц(01)+число(18)+номер выпуска(0202)
