And: you haven’t forgotten to use Free Rice, have you? Remember to do a good thing and learn English at the same time. For every word or grammatical phrase you get right you donate ten grains of rice to people in need. Right now it goes to Cambodia. Freerice is run by the UN World Food Programme.

Did you know that there is a special version of Wikipedia, written in simple English? I didn’t, but there is! And here it is! Look through some of the articles and see if you can understand them.
A message from Wikipedia: “Simple does not mean short. Writing in Simple English means that simple words are used. It does not mean readers want basic information. Articles do not have to be short to be simple; expand articles, add details, but use basic vocabulary.”
I have found another very useful site where you can learn English vocabulary. Check out “instruktioner” first before you begin. You can work with the material in different ways. You can also print your own vocabulary lists with sencentes containing the new words. This is a great feature, which gives you all the words in context.
These are all every day words which are good to know. So get cracking! Good luck!
