Be familiar with these vocabulary and phrases, expect to hear them often in listening audios.

Building Listening Skills
- Listen carefully to the tone and pace of the spoken word; Gujarati is a rhythmic language and understanding its flow can aid comprehension.
- Pay attention to context clues. If the conversation involved morning activities and suddenly the speaker mentions 'เชถเชพเชณเชพเชฎเชพเช เชเชตเซเชโ (going to school), you can anticipate discussion might shift to school-related activities.
- Recognize difference across dialects. Be aware Gujarat has various dialects and accents. The listening test may introduce different accents to test your comprehensive understanding of Gujarati.
- Work on improving vocabulary by consistently learning new words and phrases related to daily routines and activities. This will increase your ease in understanding the spoken language.
