Vegetables: A Matching Puzzle for Chinese Learners

We provided practice with vegetable words in a previous post. Since the vocabulary used in this matching puzzle is the same as that used in the previous word search puzzle, you can now see if you can still recall those words. Do not be disappointed if you find this exercise too difficult. By scrolling to the bottom of this blog post, you can find the vocabulary you need to complete this exercise. So let's get started right away!
