VOA اردو

What it actually is

Voice of America's Urdu service, covering American and international news for a Pakistani audience. Its value to a learner is the plain style and the volume of audio and video attached to text — you can nearly always read a story and then hear it. Subject matter skews to US politics and diaspora affairs.
