Berries in English

Along with fruits, it is worth remembering berries. Berry in English is berry, and this word is part of many berry names.

Many wild berries have different names depending on the region. For example, cloudberry can be called cloudberry or yellowberry, in Canada it is called bakeapple, in England - knotberry, and in Scotland - averin. Lingonberries can be found under the names cowberry, foxberry or lingonberry.

Nuts in English

And finally, we list the names of some nuts. These words often include the word nut, which means “nut”.

One way to easily memorize new words in a foreign language is to group words by topic. Vegetables in English is a necessary topic, because we encounter vegetables in everyday life. We buy them in the store, prepare food from them, and grow them in the garden. That is, by remembering at least a few basic vegetables in English, you can easily maintain a conversation on several popular topics at once.

In addition, knowledge of the English names of vegetables can be useful when traveling - when ordering side dishes in a cafe or restaurant, as well as simply when communicating with foreigners. As a rule, they are definitely interested in national Russian cuisine. Therefore, when telling foreigners about cabbage soup and borscht, vinaigrette and sauerkraut, you cannot do without knowing the English names of vegetables.

So, let's make a list of vegetables in English with translation that you need to learn first.

Vegetables ["veʤ(ə)təblz] ("vegetables) vegetables

Beet (bi:t) beet

Cabbage ["kæbɪʤ] (‘cabbage) cabbage

Carrot ["kærət] ("carot") carrots

Cucumber ["kjuːkʌmbə] ("kyukamba) cucumber

Eggplant ["egplænt] ("egplant") eggplant

Onion ["ɔnjən] ("onion) onion

Potato (po'teitou) potatoes

Pumpkin ["pʌmpkɪn] ("pumpkin) pumpkin

Radish ["rædɪʃ] ("radish) radish

Tomato (to "meitou) tomato

With such a minimal set, we can cook soup and prepare salad. And at the same time, name everything we cook from in English. This “hands-on” way of memorizing new words is very effective. Moreover, it is equally exciting for both adults and children.

After the first ten most common names have been learned, you can expand the “assortment” - learn several more less frequent, but still quite common names.

Beans (bi:nz) beans

Broccoli [ˈbrɒkəli] (‘broccoli) broccoli

Cauliflower [ˈkɒlɪflaʊə] (‘coliflower) cauliflower

Celery [ˈseləri] (‘selery) celery

Corn (ko:n) corn

Spinach [ˈspɪnɪdʒ] (‘spinage) spinach

Lettuce [ˈletɪs] ("letis") lettuce (leaves)

Turnip [ˈtɜːnɪp] (tenip) turnip

Vegetables in English can also be learned using picture cards. This method is usually used in teaching children. Whatever method of learning you use, after a little training not only an adult, but also a child will be able to name vegetables in English.

As you know, any knowledge necessarily requires consolidation in practice. English words are no exception. No matter what stage of learning English you are at, you can consolidate your knowledge and continue learning using the unique method of the English language self-teacher. Specially selected texts, stories and fairy tales, voiced by professional American speakers, will help you significantly expand your vocabulary, and exercises and a grammar reference will help you learn how to quickly and correctly construct English sentences.
