Learn German, Give Free Rice to the Poor

The website freerice.com is making it its mission to donate rice to the hungry of the world, but they need your help. Now you may have heard about this a few years ago, but something has changed.

Before I tell you what that is, I'll tell you how the website works. You go to the site and answer a question on a chosen subject, and for each question you get correct, 10 grains of rice are donated to the poor. (The sponsors on the website pay for it, which allows the site to purchase the rice.)

It's simple and a fun way to increase your knowledge base (painlessly) while you do a good thing.

The thing that's changed is before you only used to be able to answer questions on English vocabulary, like "thriftless means..." and then you had to choose from four possible answers what it meant. Now however you can not only do English vocabulary, but ones for German, French, Italian, and Spanish. You also can play this rice game with questions for Chemistry, Math, Geography, and Art. It's simple and a lot of fun.

Hopefully they'll put in some more language options for the rice game, like Norwegian or Zulu or Vietnamese or Swedish or something. =)
