How to use it?
You find the words always in Spanish and German. The Google link takes you to the Google Translator, where you can set your desired language (above the right side box) to be able to get the meaning in many other languages.
Below the left box, the speaker sign gives you the important pronunciation, the voice sample. Another choice is the other link to the Free Dictionary, with voice samples in both American English and British English versions. The reader should also pronounce the word himself/herself, several times, not only listen to it.

The translations are a bit incorrect my friend.
Peas are not "alverjas" they are "arvejas"
Legumes are "las legumbres" not "los legumbre" the substantive is feminine.
Make note of this tiny corrections , otherwise Spanish speakers wont get you when ordering food hehe
Beans are "frijoles" not "frejoles"
With "las legumbres", you are right, I corrected it. Thank you.
By peas and beans, there are soooo many local variations I simply can't list them all. Especially in Latin America.
Ex.:
Diccionario Real Academia de Esp.:
alverja
De arveja.
f. algarroba (‖ planta).
f. Am. guisante.
Gracias amigo, poco a poco una persona podrá acercarse a este lenguaje.
