- tomjakubowski 7y agoI'm also interested in this question of "Special $LANG" for other languages. For German learners, DW has a daily podcast Langsam gesprochene Nachrichten ("News read slowly"), which I have found invaluable. https://m.dw.com/de/deutsch-lernen/nachrichten/s-8030 https://m.dw.com/de/deutsch-lernen/nachrichten/s-8030

- yorwba 7y agoThe equivalent term is "leichte Sprache". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leichte_Sprache https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leichte_Sprache The websites of government agencies usually have a version in leichter Sprache, although it tends to be counterproductively hidden. The NDR offers news using leichte Sprache: https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/service/leichte_sprache/ https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/service/leichte_sprache/ Edit: or any of the other sites on this list: https://bpb.de/politik/grundfragen/politik-einfach-fuer-alle/245442/webseiten-mit-nachrichten-in-einfacher-oder-leichter-sprache https://bpb.de/politik/grundfragen/politik-einfach-fuer-alle... Further edit: there's a Wikipedia category for simplified languages, which in addition to English and German also has Latin and French: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Simplified_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Simplified_languages
