Freerice.com

Freerice.com is a website which gives away 10 grains of rice for every trivia question you answer correctly.  The topics range from foreign language to the periodic table to world geography.  My knowledge of world geography is embarrassing, so I spent two hours last night brushing up on geography and donating rice to hungry people.  Everyone wins!! The website may seem like a hoax, but once you realize how little 10 grains of rice is, you can see that the site probably makes more money off ads than they give away in rice.  Either way, I'm having fun, learning, and feeling better about myself.  The website does a good job of teaching you as well.  It gets progressively harder with each correct answer, and when you get a question wrong, it cycles it back into your questions until you get it right.  It took me about 30 tries to recognize Slovenia, but I think I've got it now.  For the rest of you wordies, you should also check out knoword.org.  Happy learning!!
