Thanks to TeachMarket for bringing this to my attention.

Talk about a wonderful site! FreeRice’s mission is simple: to donate rice to the needy through the UN to help rid the world of hunger.

And it helps us improve our English vocabulary while it’s doing that. And for free.

The vocab thing’s handled tbrough a synonym word-matching quiz (“X means _____”). Multiple choice. Just click on your answer, and for each one you get right, 20 grains of rice is donated.

Simple. And brillliant.

The site tracks your session’s total rice donations (I suggest you click on Options and enable the feature that tracks yout total across multiple sessions).

And it does help with your vocabulary (assuming you need help). The words get progressively difficult; FreeRice even shows you the highest vocabulary level you’ve answered correctly (enabling multi-session tracking will also track that number historically).

Very, very cool.
