Get freedom from your phone’s obvious limitations. Use VOA Learning English – Practic, made by Innoloop Inc., a Education app on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, and level up your experience.

VOA Learning English – Practic is one of those apps that’s surprisingly straightforward, but actually pretty handy for anyone trying to get better at English or just keep up with world news in a simpler way. The setup is nice—everything’s broken down into bite-sized stories and lessons, plus the news updates are written with simpler vocabulary and spoken more slowly than typical news. It’s not overwhelming at all. What stands out is how easy it is to follow along: the transcripts highlight the audio as it plays, and you can tweak the speed or put stuff on repeat for those words or phrases that just don’t want to stick.

It covers plenty of topics—news, science, business, a bunch about American culture and history—so there’s always something fresh to check out. The app tosses in a few useful features like searching, word lookups, and saving lessons for later (offline, too). If someone prefers reading under certain colors or bigger text, all that’s customizable. It’s one of those things that fits into a quick break or study session, whether on a phone or, say, playing around with it on PC using BlueStacks. The whole setup just makes practicing English less of a chore and more like keeping up with everyday stuff, but without getting lost in complicated words.

Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
