Whoops, I need to brush up on the vocabulary. That is why I am reading a dictionary in my spare time. I am on page 64 out of 1000 today.
2/10, it was very difficult for me. Anyway, like such kind of intellectual challenges very much!!! Thanks a lot for this joy!!!
Super quiz just hard for me … maybe the translations are a little weird … I have 4 correct ones
I knew one of them, but guessed two more correct. And I thought my vocab was average.. Great quiz.
I don’t expect too much success with these quizzes, which expose some weird and wonderful words that are completely unknown by most people – myself included until I unearth them from the dictionary!
I wish I had the retention to remember these not so used words. I love these quizzes though, and they are a success I think. Don’t stop. Maybe some will sink in. 😉
H was the hardest one so far. But the words you found were really cool@
Sir your quiz are always hard for me but they always give me a lot of knowledge. thanks Sir.
Most creative and interesting quiz, Now I know a bunch of words that begin with H
But how long will you remember them? To be honest I can’t see that many of these will prove to be all that useful!
Only got #1 and the last one correct.
That was interesting. Thanks for taking the time to create it for the community.
Thanks. These word quizzes don’t take too long once I get down to it!
