Talking about the future 🎯
This module teaches the Gujarati words for **ambitions, jobs and opportunities**. Every word comes with three things: the **Gujarati script**, a **transliteration** in brackets to help you say it, and the **English meaning**. Gujarati is read **left to right**. You will recognise the words and their meanings here, not type them. (A native speaker should review the script before launch.)

The grade-9 habit 🌟
To master this vocabulary, link every word to **all three** of its forms: the **Gujarati script**, the **transliteration** so you can say it, and the **English meaning**. Keep the ideas that are easy to confuse clearly apart - a **મહત્ત્વાકાંક્ષા (mahattvakanksha)**, your ambition, versus the real **નોકરી (nokri)**, the job you do for **પગાર (pagar)**, pay. Reading each word left to right, saying it aloud, and testing yourself both ways is what builds real recall.
