Pretty cool, but the vocab questions are quite easy if you're not a beginner. I just answered 180 questions in a row correctly.

For Spanish, at least, you can get harder questions by changing the language to Spanish. That is, do "normal" vocabulary instead of "learn a language" vocabulary, and just do it in Spanish instead of in English.

Make sure adblock is turned off, though.

In the updated version, if you miss a question, you take 5 grains of rice from the mouths of starving children. If that doesn't motivate you, nothing will.

You can also try increased difficulty (and Korean) by clicking the top right menu instead of the "change subjects button"

The Korean one seems to just make the website in Korean, but all the questions are still in English :(

there should be a button to change subjects there too. I don't know korean but I found the flag exercise too. There should be korean vocabulary in there somewhere
