How do you know your level? | Oct 21, 2007 |
Hello Mihailo! I just played the Free rice vocabulary game. I succeeded in giving more than 200 grains. But I did not get my level result... Thanks for your reference. It's fun to play... Bye for now! Suzanne Ethier in Montréal, Québec Mihailolja wrote: www.freerice.com amazing, I'm on level 42 ) Mihailo ps I wish it existed for other languages too | | |

[quote]Suzanne Ethier wrote: I just played the Free rice vocabulary game. I succeeded in giving more than 200 grains. But I did not get my level result... Level result appears as "Vocab Level" rather faintly in the lower right-hand corner of the left-hand panel. You have to get the first four right to gain a score of 40 and it builds up slowly from there. I reached 49. | | |

You can continue playing until you reach 10.000. I stopped at 1300 grains and attained a level of 36. The more you play the more difficult it get. | | |

1000 grains, level 45. But many words I will never need or come across again. | | |
That was fun ! | Oct 21, 2007 |
I got up to 2680 grains, but could not maintain my highest level at 46 ... I finished at 38, although I think I averaged 41 or so .... | |

in some cases, but it was fun, and if in fact some rice is donated, it's a great initiative. Thanks for the link! Nancy EDIT: I guess the meanings are correct, as I was asked for the meaning of "doughty", to which, given my colleague above, I had no choice but to answer "valiant", which is correct! N.

Fun and educative too | Oct 21, 2007 |
I wonder if they really count those grains before donating | | |

Thanks Mihailo, that hit the spot as a little break. I stopped at level 43.I don't remember the exact number of grains, I think ~ 300. It's a great tool for procrastinating too. What a pleasure to put off what you should be doing just a little longer to do some good!:-) One question: when you go back to it, if you play at about the same level, do you get the same words again?

Very nice and useful | Oct 25, 2007 |
And since I thought it was so nice I decided to post it also in the Italian forum in order to involve also people, who perhaps skipped this forum. I mentioned your name and the forum you posted this issue in. I hope it's fine. Sandra | | |

the more the merrier, let's hope someone does one for other languages too! (Wouldn't that be a good project for a linguis-programmer?) Regards Mihailo | | |
