Getting started with Gujarati

This course is for learners with no previous knowledge of the language that want to start from the very beginning. Lessons will cover simple but key aspects of the language in a variety of everyday situations to give you the foundation needed at this early stage. Learning takes place using an immersive and collaborative approach in which active practice and communication are vital.

You will learn some aspects of basic grammar e.g. masculine & feminine gender, sentence structure, formal & informal context and some verbs; learn key vocabulary and set-phrases in a variety of “survival” contexts e.g. shopping for food, asking for directions, ordering food and drinks at a bar; discuss some aspects of the Spanish culture, and practise mainly your listening and speaking skills.

In this non-qualification course you will learn the language in an immersive way. The tutor will be responsive to the class needs, responding to the group weaknesses. Learners are expected to practice their BSL both in class and as homework tasks. This gives the tutor an opportunity to identify group weaknesses and to provide you with personalised feedback to help you improve.

This course is for those with no knowledge of the language.

This course leads to a Gujarati for Beginners course. Your tutor will share your next steps with you before the end of your course.
