Crustaceans and molluscs – A2–C1
This deck collects English names for crustaceans and molluscs at A2-C1 level: shrimp, lobster, oyster, clam, squid and octopus sit alongside rarer words like whelk and limpet. With these 35 words, you can order seafood confidently at a restaurant, read a recipe, or follow a marine biology documentary in English. You'll also learn umbrella terms like mollusc, crustacean and cephalopod, which let you group precisely what you see or eat. Ideal if you love seafood cuisine or are curious about marine life.

Shellfish in English and Hungarian: from the menu to marine biology
In Hungarian most of these are simply rák, but English is precise about what is on the plate: shrimp, prawn, crab, lobster, crayfish, langoustine. This A2–C1 English–Hungarian deck teaches those distinctions together with shellfish, snails and cephalopods: oyster, mussel, scallop, squid, octopus.
At the C1 end come the scientific group names — mollusc, crustacean, cephalopod, gastropod — which help with nature documentaries and biology texts. The pictures on the cards help with recognition; the first five cards (shrimp, crab, clam, prawn, snail) can be tried on this page without registering.
