<p>Anyone play this game as a way to build up their vocab?</p>
<p>I do sometimes. I don’t find the words to commonly-used/tested, but it is more motivating than flashcards.</p>
<p>Sometimes. I like the other games better, though. The ones involving geography. :D</p>
<p>I’ve done it just for the charity aspect. It doesn’t really seem to add to my vocabulary, though.</p>
<p>I love FreeRice! I don’t use it as much as I used to though…</p>
<p>How much is one grain of rice anyway? When I played the game, I thought I was giving a piece of rice, but that would be cruel though.</p>
<p>^They give you 10 grains per correct answer (was 10, then 20 for a while, then site exploded in popularity so 10 again), and I may be wrong but I remember hearing that 10,000 is what it takes to feed a child per day.</p>
<p>Art History FreeRice rocks; same with the world capital/geography ones.</p>
<p>I find the English vocab there a bit strange as well.</p>
<p>Did Geography FreeRice, the only ones I couldn’t do were small afro-countries. Vocab freerice seems dumb.</p>
<p>The vocab can get pretty obscure past level 35.</p>
<p>^^^I love the art history too.</p>
<p>I’ve only done it and English vocab, I think. Maybe vocab in randomly selected languages I don’t speak as well.</p>
<p>I love free rice!! I use it for my vocabulary and for geography.</p>
<p>What’s the highest score you guys have gotten on vocab, 35… that’s amazing.</p>
<p>I did it occasionally. It was better practice for identifying roots than actually expanding vocabulary. I once raced my English teacher during class. The highest I ever got was around 43, maybe higher after they changed the format. If I could stick around 40 it was a good day.</p>
<p>haha that’s beast, you beat your teacher?</p>
<p>At that time I played a lot, so I recognized a lot of the words and could do it quickly. Just trying it now, they seem to have added a lot more words. Hovering between 45 and 49.</p>
