Freerice website has some drawbacks at giving service. This website provide only correct answers regarding to the wrong answers, there is no explanation about the answer. Sometimes, it is difficult to learn a new term without any explanation. On the other hand, most of the question based on vocabularies, no sentence formation question. Only vocabulary learning is not enough for language learning, it does not provide complete communication element. Another drawback of this site is there is no option for audio, to learn the accurate pronunciation audio session is a vital element.    

This site has some interesting elements for the learners to learn through charity but some changes can be added for more attractiveness. The developer can change the website’s design, more colors or design can make the site more interesting. Another idea is, developer can add some pictures with the words at the initial level of learning. This will be more interesting for the new learners. The most important element is audio option, they should add this option for the learners to learn accurate pronunciation.
