Free Rice (addicting!!!)

Just bumping this up for those who haven't seen it and to remind the rest of us to play.

People are hungry all year long and this is a fun, painless way to help out.

Moff, Thanks for the bump. I had forgotten about this site. I enjoy it & if
it helps people, that's great too.

How does it determine your "vocabulary level"? I got to 30 then it dropped down to 23 pretty fast and no matter how many I would get right, it wouldn't increase. =/ Frustrating since I know I have a pretty broad vocabulary, but I donated around 980 grains Will have to do more later when I have more free time.

Jessika, every 3 questions that you get right in a row, you advance a level. But you decrease a level as soon as you get one wrong. Hope that helps!

Oh that's a pain!! But I know I answered more than three in a row and I didn't gain a level, but decreasing a level for every wrong one, that makes sense.

My level goes from 32 to 42, depending on how my brain feels that day!

I like clicking on the speaker and listening to them pronounce those really long words. hehe

I do that too, but it doesn't help with the meanings. I can usually
look at how a word is spelled to figure out the meaning (Latin derivatives)
but even that doesn't always work.

Mainly I guess, but generally get it right. I like the speaker aspect too. Hope that helps my befuddled brain retain the word a bit longer than just seeing it.

I hate to admit this but there have been occasions when given a second chance of a word I got wrong, I got it wrong again!
