I have made some improvements to the vocabulary test that I wrote a while ago. Most significant change is the addition of a lot more words and I keep adding to the word list.

If you want to use it then it is linked off my Turkish page on my website.

Can you manage it in a way,that we can add more vocabulary to your database,then you can check them later,and you can add the non similar ones to the test
Something like that i mean to increase the number of vocabulary

Wow, that´s really nice.

It would be even better if there were a link to get you back to the start, or home.

Thanks for your work setting it up.

When I tried to open Bod´s link it said the account had been suspended.

 

I find interlex is great for learning vocabulary and I´ve made my own word lists, in categories, as Canlı has mentioned.  Lists of verbs and conjugations of the verbs can also be made.  It´s very useful and it also gives statistics on success rate.
