FREE RICE IN FRENCH!!!

I have long loved the web-site freerice.com!

Now they have a French component that helps you practice French vocabulary AND help world hunger. For each answer you get right the UN World Food Organization will donate 10 grains of rice.

Go to:

http://www.freerice.com/subjects.php?t=14539356985

On the right hand side, click "Change subjects." Then click "French."

Some questions you will have to guess on, or use common sense since they have many cognates.
Others you definitely should know because we have already learned the vocabulary!

BONNE CHANCE :)
