Is vocabulary at http://www.languageguide.org/mandarin/ genuine/correct?

I came across http://www.languageguide.org/mandarin/

which shows everyday vocabulary in different languages. I would like to ask, if the Mandarin section vocabulary is what is naturally used in everyday life, or just dictionary copy/pasted artificial stuff. I cannot judge myself, but I wonder if 无边帽 [ in 男装 part] is a commonplace in Chinese... As a language teacher, I know learning a mistake is far more worse than nothing.

Thanks.

I just asked my native Beijing co-worker.

She said these are common words.

无边帽 = a round hat with no brim (stereotypical ancient Chinese hat, ski cap, Shriner's hat?)

遮阳帽 zhe1 yang2 mao4 = looks like a baseball cap

鸭舌帽 ya1 she2 mao4 = has ear flaps for when its cold

As I know,this is 棒球帽/运动帽, this is 遮阳帽,you can also call them 鸭舌帽.And this is牛仔帽,this is 礼帽, but some people didn't distinguish them clearly.All of others we just call them "帽子". I seldom see any other names in book,on tv …….Of course, when you say "无边帽" to a chinese,he/she can understand what you mean.But it's not often used in our life.

There's a easy way to know whether it's common used or not.Just search it in www.baidu.comhttp://www.baidu.com and see the quantity of results.For example, I can only find 12000 results with "无边帽".As a opposite,"棒球帽" gots one billion.

"has ear flaps for when its cold",I know what it is---a hat with earcap.But I don't think it's called 鸭舌帽.Although I've had seen it before,I can't find any image of this in google.
