Build on Your Gujarati
Practise transferring the whole message
Knowing both languages gives you a foundation for interpreting.
Practice helps you listen, keep track of details and express them in the other language.
CCL assesses communication between English and Gujarati through recorded dialogues.
Details to review in your practice:
- •Word choices and borrowed terms (Gujlish): check the language-specific policy
- •Words you skip without realizing (omissions)
- •Formality that fits the speakers (તમે vs તું)
Choose one detail to review, then try it again in context.

Read NAATI’s CCL assessment guidanceGujarati Interpreting Details to Practise
Compare each source with the example interpretation and choose a detail to review.
NAATI’s Gujarati policy penalises English or Hindi numerals, and figures in millions must be converted to lakhs or crores. Occasional English words are acceptable when most Gujarati speakers would understand them.
છત્રીસ (chhatris) is the Gujarati number. NAATI’s policy gives “thirty-six” for Chatris as an example that will be penalised.
Practise saying ages, amounts and dates in Gujarati, including converting millions to lakhs or crores.
Adjectives, numbers and qualifiers carry information. Check that your interpretation preserves these details.
"Chronic" (લાંબા સમયનો) and "lower" (નીચલી) are critical — omitting them changes the diagnosis
Review possible omissions in your practice feedback, then compare them with the source. Note the location and duration together.
Choose a form of address that fits the speakers and setting. A professional conversation with a patient calls for respectful language.
Use તમે (Tame) in this professional conversation. તું (Tu) is disrespectful.
Practise matching the tone of the conversation as well as its meaning. Consider who is speaking to whom.
In past tense with transitive verbs, the subject takes "-e" (એ) and the verb agrees with the Object, not the subject.
Subject Ramesh takes -e marker. Verb "વાંચ્યું" agrees with "પુસ્તક" (neuter), not Ramesh.
Practice transitive verbs in past tense until the -e pattern becomes automatic.
Many Hindi words have different meanings in Gujarati. Using Hindi equivalents changes the meaning entirely.
Shiksha (શિક્ષા) means Punishment in Gujarati. Use Shikshan (શિક્ષણ) for Education.
Review Hindi and Gujarati word pairs whose meanings differ, and practise them in sentences.
AI-Powered Feedback
Find a Detail Worth Practising Again
Use AI practice feedback to review possible changes in meaning and language. Compare it with the source; it can miss errors or flag acceptable wording.
If “chronic” is missing, the listener loses information about duration.
Check borrowed words against NAATI’s policy for Gujarati; borrowing alone is not proof of an error.

Common Questions
Answers to common preparation questions
No, according to NAATI’s Gujarati policy, provided an average Gujarati person living in Gujarat would understand what you say. Occasional English words are acceptable when widely understood, though a common Gujarati word such as નોકરી (Nokri) or કામ (Kaam) is preferred over “job”. Numbers must be spoken in Gujarati, and millions converted to lakhs or crores.
Three areas to check: (1) the -e (એ) marker in past-tense transitive sentences, (2) a form of address that suits the speakers, such as તમે (Tame) with professionals, and (3) Hindi words whose meaning differs in Gujarati (e.g., શિક્ષા means punishment in Gujarati, not education).
In Gujarati, past-tense transitive verbs require the subject to be marked with -e (એ). The verb then agrees with the object, not the subject. “રમેશે પુસ્તક વાંચ્યું” - the verb agrees with pustak (neuter), not Ramesh. Omitting the marker is a grammar error.
Gujarati has three genders: masculine (-o), feminine (-i/-a), and neuter (-uM). Adjectives, verbs, and possessives must all agree with noun gender. “બારણું ખુલ્લું છે” (door-neuter open-neuter is). Practise agreement in whole sentences.
Be careful: many Hindi words have different meanings in Gujarati. “Shiksha” means punishment in Gujarati (use “Shikshan” for education), and “Abhyas” is the usual word for studies. Choose the Gujarati word when a Hindi word would change or obscure the meaning.
