Talking about the planet 🌍

Gujarati is written in its own **script**, and this module gives you core words to talk about **the environment** and how to protect it. You will learn the key terms, from **વન્યજીવો (vanyajivo)**, wildlife, to **સૂર્યની ઊર્જા (suryani urja)**, solar power, then practise recognising them before writing about an environmental issue in English.
