"BBC NEWS VERSUS BREAKING NEWS"

The two sites that we have checked are so different:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/wordsinthenews/
and
http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/index.html

The first one is the authentic speaking that you can hear on news.

The second one has been designed for English learnes in order to improve their knwoledge of the language.

If you go to the "BBC learning" web, first of all you can choose the news and later, read and listen at the same time with their own accents. Besides, you can also find at the end of the page, specific and difficult words with the explanation and the pronunciation.

By contrast, listening "Breaking News English" you will hear specific presenters speaking slowly and also in a more formal way of learning English with exercises and different tasks.
So, if you want to learn about Grammar, go to the second web and if you prefer real accents go to the first one.
