Improve Your Vocabulary and Donate Rice

January 14, 2008 by Michele Neylon 2 Comments

I came across FreeRice this evening and could probably spend the rest of the night on there if I wasn’t careful.

The site is very simple. You test your vocabulary and for every correct answer you provide they donate 20 grains of rice to the UN.

From the “about” page:

FreeRice has two goals:

   1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
   2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site

Some of the words are quite easy, while others are a bit “off the wall”, so it can be quite challenging.

    hehe this was fun.
    It tries to trick you with all those English words that derive from Latin and are not widely used… an easy target for me 😀
