How large is your vocabulary?  Are you comfortable in talking to your lender, mortgage banker, attorney, boss, client, doctor, dentist, mechanic, politician, and child's teacher?   Do you consider yourself an effective communicator?   Do you need to build your word knowledge or need help with the English language?   The other day, a colleague of mine shared a unique nonprofit vocabulary site with me.  For each correct answer to a given word, 20 grains of rice are donated through the United Nations to curb world hunger.  Advertisers pay as you play.   The site is http://www.freerice.com. 

So,  how does playing the English vocabulary game at FreeRice help you?

"Learning new vocabulary has tremendous benefits. It can help you:

• Formulate your ideas better
• Write better papers, emails and business letters
• Speak more precisely and persuasively
• Comprehend more of what you read
• Read faster because you comprehend better
• Get better grades in high school, college and graduate school
• Score higher on tests like the SAT, GRE, LSAT and GMAT
• Perform better at job interviews and conferences
• Sell yourself, your services, and your products better
• Be more effective and successful at your job"

After you have done FreeRice for a couple of days, you may notice an odd phenomenon. Words that you have never consciously used before will begin to pop into your head while you are speaking or writing. You will feel yourself using and knowing more words."

Yes, improving your vocabulary will help you to prosper in life.   Young or old, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, we can all continue to expand upon our vocabulary.  The computerized vocabulary program adjusts the level of difficulty increasing or decreasing the level of difficulty/proficiency to meet one's zone of proximal development.    Learning is truely a life-long journey and what better way to end hunger, and promote literacy in a challenging, but fun manner.
