VOCABULARY

Revise your vocabulary with GOOGLE IMAGE LABELER

Go to: http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/

and click on 'Start labeling'

Sometimes you know the word you want to use, but you just can't say it when you are in a situation that is putting you under pressure. This can be very frustrating so use a timed image game to put you under some pressure to recall your vocabulary.
