You will find the main colour vocabulary in the table above, including pronunciation to help you speak with confidence. Focus on repeating each word out loud and associating it with real objects around you.
To get better results, try this approach:
- Learn 5–7 colours at a time
- Repeat them aloud several times
- Use them in simple phrases (e.g., “red car”, “blue sky”)
- Review them the next day
Consistency matters more than speed. Even a few minutes of practice daily will help you remember the words naturally.
