Foreigners speak prefect English but they also speck slow so that's why they
broadcast in slow English. They also don't know our slang.

Just wondering if anyone knows the origins of the Special English
broadcasts
on VOA?

My, admittedly, uneducated guess is the slower dailog was designed to be
more understandable if the listener was in a distant receiving region.

Could anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Mike T.
