This site gives you a vocab word and four definitions… For every answer you get correct, they'll donate 10 grains of rice to help fight world hunger! It may not seem like much, but it does add up! I think it's a great thing, and so much fun, too! (I've donated 5300 grains of rice so far. =3) www.freerice.com/index.phpGive it a try! |

Yea, today I'm at 900 so far.
It just goes to show that yes, there is actually a use for knowing the word enervate in real life. *grins brightly*

Too bad I'm no good with most of the vocab on there, I guessed on almost all of them. >.<

I guess at a lot of them, but by dissecting the words I have maybe an 80 or 90% success rate.

You know, intumescence. Tume is something like tumor, which is a lump, etc, so my guess out of the following definitions-
charm
swelling
account
throb,
I would choose swelling, which is correct. Parts of words, my friend, parts of words. x3

Yeah, we're learning roots (like I cared before I came across this website) and that's how we're taught to learn meanings of words.

-stares at Light- OMG, man, OMG.
I did some TAG LA last year, we got a Latin, German, Italian or something else root, and a bunch of words that used it, then we had to write the word, definition, and answer 4-18 questions about the words. ((The number of questions varied a lot.))
