  10. If you are reading this, you might find Testvocabulary.com extremely useful. This site doesn't try to teach English from scratch; but it's rather an aid for advanced English students.

  14. "Word basket" is a collection of your chosen words, stored in your computer. Respecting your privacyt, we don't ask your email address, neither offer you to open account with use, as many websites are doing today. When you add a word to your basket, your browser is storing this word on your computer; and we do not receive any information about you. Still, you can run exercises or tests on your chosen words, as if it would be a site section, like Grade 4 or SAT.
