New disovery on FreeRice

A while ago I posted about Web sites you can visit to click and donate food to help feed the hungry. I even have a couple posted permanently in my sidebar.

This morning I was visiting my favorite of those three sites, FreeRice, when I made a discovery.

FreeRice is my favorite of the sites, because you do more than just click on a button to donate food. The site is also an educational tool.

For the past couple years I have always used the site to brush up on English vocabulary. I tell younger students to use it to prepare for their SAT vocabulary, while helping a great cause at the same time.

This morning I noticed this link right above where you answer questions

So I clicked on the link and discovered this page. Which has a list of subjects and languages you can use on FreeRice. Included on the list are World Capitals and World Geography, which I know my parents would love.

I was very excited and happy to see this because it gives me an opportunity to work on my Italian. While I already know English and Spanish (Plus a semester of Latin). The next language I am working on is Italian. Last summer I downloaded free podcasts and would listen to them after work, while I didn’t think I learned a lot, every time I hear others speaking Italian I’m always surprised at how much I am able to understand.

However, during the school year I have been too busy to work on my Italian, and this summer, I don’t know, until Today, I haven’t done much.

Either way I was really glad to see that great Web site has expanded, and now plan on using it even more to continue learning Italian.

Also if you find any more Web sites for donating food, please send them my way.
