What this is
Multiple choice over the vocabulary this site already documents: you are shown an English word and four candidates in the language you chose. Wrong answers show the right one rather than only marking you down, and where the word has a page of its own the answer links to it — so a mistake is a way into the explanation rather than the end of the exercise.
The wrong answers are drawn from the same topic wherever possible. Telling four colours apart teaches something; telling a colour from a verb teaches only that they look different.
Why these languages
Tagalog is well served elsewhere. Waray, Kapampangan and Pangasinan are not — there is very little free practice material for any of them, which is most of the reason this exists. Every language here draws on the same compiled phrasebook, so the coverage is even rather than following whatever happened to be online.
Those entries are compiled from published references and mostly still pending native-speaker review. The methodology page sets out what that means. This is practice against a cited reference, not against a dictionary.
