Here is a quiz on all the colors: http://www.ispeakhindi.com/word-group-lists/?group_id=36

Also, you will see the vocabulary quizzes appear on more and more lessons. I need to add a lot more pictures and voices. This is just a start of what we have planned. Please let us know what you think about it.
