Play an online vocabulary game to help fight hunger
www.freerice.com give everyone a chance to help fight World Hunger.
How does the FreeRice vocabulary program work?
FreeRice has a custom database containing thousands of words at varying degrees of difficulty. There are words appropriate for people just learning English and words that will challenge the most scholarly professors. In between are thousands of words for students, business people, homemakers, doctors, truck drivers, retired people… everyone!
FreeRice automatically adjusts to your level of vocabulary. It starts by giving you words at different levels of difficulty and then, based on how you do, assigns you an approximate starting level. You then determine a more exact level for yourself as you play. When you get a word wrong, you go to an easier level. When you get three words in a row right, you go to a harder level. This one-to-three ratio is best for keeping you at the “outer fringe” of your vocabulary, where learning can take place.
There are 50 levels in all, but it is rare for people to get above level 48.
For each word you get correct you donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to help end world hunger.
Visit www.freerice.com and start your journey in helping to combat World Hunger
Further information is on the website and the game is very simple and you'll enjoy it. Its having fun and helping others.
