Good job. In need of a few rectification: use شيفلور instead of... use قوق instead of خرشوف, use بورو instead of...
Take into consideration the most common words. Congratulations for this brilliant product.

Hi Mohamed!
Thank you for your comment.
Those are not actually rectifications, but rather possible variants.
In my region, we call artichoke : Khershouf خرشوف, and it’s true that some people call it qouq : قوق
We say Shoufla شوفلا for cauliflower, other people prefer to pronounce it closer to French: شيفلور Shiflour.
Same for leek, some pronounce exactly like in French, pwarro پوارو, but others maybe say it like you said, بورو, boro/poro.
