Lexxica -Vocabulary Analysis

Lexxica provides resources to determine how much vocabulary a student knows and find gaps in their knowledge. They also claim to be able to accurately assess which words a student already knows.

The site is difficult to navigate and prone to crash. If all goes well, try the V-Check to find out how vocabulary you know (works for native speakers, too) and V-Admin to process your data. There are also flash games, free graded texts and flash cards.

I would be interested if other members here tried it and posted comments.

Alex, it displays in Japanese in the V-Check area so I couldn't use it, though the language was set to English. Let me know when it's fixed and I'll head back.

Yes, the site is quite messed up. I talked to CEO, Cihi a few months back about taking over management of it, but he scared me off. If anyone brave out there wants to give it a go, it looks like he still needs someone.

This whole site seems to be in early development. Japanese popped up throughout V-Flash and Sight Words. Sound Bubbles crashed Adobe Acrobat. On the other hand, V-Read has a very nice feature of letting students adjust the word level. I look forward to better things here!
