Living abroad, like I do, it’s easy to get a little rusty in my mother tongue, forgetting words (esp. abstruse ones) occasionally, finding myself expressing myself in my L2, and even stuck for words.

Still, the Free Rice Project is a wonderful way to practice vocabulary and help the world.

I started at Level 40, and found the challenge fun! I now know what “killdeer”, “luteous”, and “majolica” all mean. If you want to know, you’ll have to do the puzzle yourself, and make a note of the words for Scrabulous. Now, I’ve just got to find a way to use them in this blog! Pity there aren’t competitive scores…!
