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.
On the eve of Women's Day, we all want to look better, and what will help us with this? Of course, fresh, crispy vegetables, rich in vitamins and microelements and other “health benefits” ( vegetables).
Raw food and fruit diets are gaining momentum all over the world, people want to follow the example of Madonna and Uma Thurman, who joined this movement. Mel Gibson, Demi Moore, Christina Ricci, Anthony Kidds and many other celebrities eat exclusively raw vegetables, which means that today we will get to know all the secrets of Hollywood stars.
Tomatoes ( tomatoes), cucumbers ( cucumbers), dill ( dill) and parsley ( parsley) are a source of vitamins A, B3, B9, C, E, K, PP, as well as suppliers of calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, silicon and other useful microelements. Plus, adding a little oil can improve the flavor of any salad.
To recharge yourself with vitamins, you can prepare cabbage salad ( cabbage) and radish ( radish). If you want to try something fresh and incredibly healthy, make a carrot salad ( carrot) and Jerusalem artichoke ( topinambour/Jerusalem artichoke/sunroot).
Now let’s talk separately about cabbage, which, as you know, can be completely different. So, if you decide to lose weight, pay attention to Brussels sprouts ( Brussels sprouts), which will provide you with vitamins C and A, and also protect you from cancer. Cauliflower ( cauliflower) contains the maximum amount of proteins, as well as vitamins C, K, PP, it is useful for children and those for whom white cabbage is contraindicated ( cabbage). An alternative option would be to eat Chinese cabbage ( Chinese cabbage), which is useful for diabetes, obesity, hormonal disorders and even heart disease. To lower cholesterol and fat levels in the blood, be sure to eat kale ( kale), which will supply the body with fiber, proteins and carbohydrates. It is also called Savoy cabbage ( savoy cabbage). Don't forget about broccoli ( broccoli), whose name comes from the Italian word ‘brocco’, meaning “young shoot”.
Asparagus ( asparagus) is rich in fiber, vitamins, as well as folic acid, copper and iron. But you shouldn’t store it; it’s better to eat it immediately after purchase. Don't forget about celery ( selery) and pepper ( pepper).
If you do not consider yourself a raw foodist and like variety, pay attention to beans ( kidney beans), including leguminous ( string beans), and beans ( beans), peas ( pea), corn ( corn), lentils ( lentil) and chickpeas ( chickpeas).
What vegetables have we forgotten about?

Please note that in English there are many idiomatic expressions related to food. Some of the most striking may be, for example, these:
He's turning into a perfect couch potato. “He tries to collapse on the sofa all the way and watch TV.”
“This morning they were all back on their jobs, the Chinese cook and all. There they were as cool as cucumbers; you would have thought they owned the place.” “This morning they were all there again - the Chinese cook and others. And everything - as if nothing had happened. You'd think they were at home."
W. S. Maugham ‘The Outstation’
“He enjoyed his trip and arrived in the pink and has been full of beans ever since!” “The flight was very interesting. Penny endured it well and has been cheerful and cheerful all the time since then.”
I. Murdoch ‘An Unofficial Rose’
Now you know all the names of vegetables in English, and whoever is armed with knowledge is protected from failure (and at the same time from hunger).
Hi all! What do we often tell foreigners when they ask us to tell them a little about Russia? That's right, about the peculiarities of Russian cuisine! How can we tell about it without knowing the names of fruits, berries and vegetables?! We have already covered fruits and berries in English. It's time to learn what vegetables are called in English so that you can fully talk about your favorite dishes and products. Learning the names of vegetables in English
Knowing the names of vegetables (Vegetables) in English will also come in handy when communicating with English-speaking interlocutors. Very often in conversation we use the names of various vegetables, berries, fruits and other fruits. And native speakers often use many sayings or proverbs that contain the name of at least one of these fruits. For example:
An onion will not produce a rose.
A rose will not grow from an onion.
Therefore, do not underestimate the importance of mastering this vocabulary.
I have said more than once that one of the best ways to learn a lot of English words is with thematic cards. This creative approach to language learning produces amazing results. Cards with bright pictures, a word in English, with transcription and translation are easily and permanently etched in the memory of both children and parents. Adults love looking at pictures too!
There are many options for cards - just with a word, with a picture and a word, with a picture and translation, with a picture and translation + transcription. Choose the option that you like and use the cards, repeating new vocabulary whenever it is convenient for you - transport, rest, break at work. You can create cards yourself and download and print ready-made blanks from our website.

In order to quickly remember new words when going shopping, make a list of products in English:
- Beetroot
- Carrot
- Cauliflower
- Horseradish, etc.
Don’t write a translation into Russian, but if you forget what a particular word means, use the card. A very simple, useful and effective technique!
Vegetables in English on the table
Another good way to replenish your vocabulary with the necessary words is a table with transcription and translation. You print out the finished list of vegetables in several copies and hang it where you spend the most time. This can be in the workplace, at home near the computer, or attached with magnets to the refrigerator. At every opportunity, look through the table and try to remember the entire list by saying the name of the fruits out loud.
