Goal: Learn the most common kitchen words with meaning, IPA, usage, and examples. Tip: Learn by category + learn collocations (word pairs) + learn by actions (verbs in kitchen).

• 1) Learn by categories: cookware / utensils / appliances / tableware / storage / ingredients.
• 2) Always include collocations (cụm hay đi chung): e.g. “mixing bowl”, “cutting board”.
• 3) Add 2–3 examples using real situations (cooking, cleaning, eating).
• 4) Add 1 common mistake (nếu có): bowl vs plate, knife vs cutter, etc.
• 5) Add pronunciation (IPA) for hard words.
• 6) Use short, consistent fields so it’s easy to scan and easy to expand.
