A Fabulous Game to Improve Vocabulary
I admit it. I love games -- any games. But especially word games.
Here's one that actually manages to make me feel productive while I have fun!
The game shows you a word and four possible definitions. All you have to do is choose the right one. It's not as easy as it sounds!
Take a look.
wainscot means:
nobleman
malformation
dictatorship
wood paneling
Click on one of the choices, and you'll immediately be given the right answer.
The game is self-adjusting, adapting itself to your level. If you make mistakes, it chooses easier words, but if you get four right in a row, it makes the words slightly harder. So you'll always be learning new words just above your current ability.
You'll find the words will recycle over a long period of time. So even if you miss a word like "wainscot" the first time you see it, you'll get more chances to get it right and move up a notch.
It's devilishly simple, fun, and addictive.
Oh! Did I mention that for every set of definitions you click on, 10 grains of rice are contributed to a feed the hungry program? It's amazing how quickly those grains add up! I hope it's not a hoax. It does seem to be legitimate.
Try it yourself. And each time you do, you'll not only be learning a whole set of new English words, you'll also be contributing a little bit of rice to the diets of the poor.
