This is a Tagalog/Filipino language lesson handout focused on nature vocabulary. It is intended for learners who want to talk about plants, animals, and outdoor surroundings in the Philippines.
The first section covers basic nature words: kalikasan (nature), halaman (plant), puno (tree), bulaklak (flower), dahon (leaf), damo (grass), lupa (soil), bundok (mountain), gubat (forest), ilog (river), dagat (sea), lawa (lake), talon (waterfall), bato (rock), buhangin (sand), araw (sun), ulan (rain), and ulap (clouds). Example sentences show how to use these words.
A separate list gives common Philippine plants and trees: niyog/buko (coconut), saging (banana), mangga (mango), papaya, kawayan (bamboo), narra, acacia, gumamela (hibiscus), sampaguita (jasmine), and bougainvillea.
Animal vocabulary includes aso (dog), pusa (cat), ibon (bird), isda (fish), unggoy (monkey), ahas (snake), butiki (lizard), palaka (frog), pagong (turtle), kabayo (horse), baka (cow), and kambing (goat). Question patterns help learners ask "What animal is this?" and "Is it dangerous?".
A section on dangerous animals introduces makamandag (poisonous/venomous) and delikado (dangerous). It mentions venomous snakes like cobras and vipers, and jellyfish (dikya). Useful phrases include "May dikya ba dito?" (Are there jellyfish here?).
The handout ends with the survival pattern "huwag" (don't) in commands like "Huwag hawakan" (Don't touch), "Huwag lumangoy" (Don't swim), and "Huwag pumunta doon" (Don't go there). The instructor, Sel Caguioa, invites learners to book further lessons.
