Velký novoroční kvíz

V naší výukové aplikaci EnglishMe! najdete každý den nové slovíčko či frázi a k němu článek v seriálu Word of the Day (tyto články tam najdete i zpětně, ale na webu Help for English jsou k dispozici vždy pouze 24 hodin). K těmto slovíčkům vydáváme každý měsíc dva kvízy o deseti otázkách.

My jsme nyní vzali kvízy za posledních 12 měsíců a z každého z nich vybrali tu otázku, která statisticky dopadla nejhůře. Nyní tedy nabízíme 24 otázek, které můžete zkusit znovu.
