So maybe we should join one that has to do with Russian? Unless you are focusing on the other two more. I
know you spend a lot of time on Norwegian, right? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You can join the Russian team then, I'm in. I just don't know if it isn't too crowded but then we can make sure that, in case it splits, we stay at the same one.

Where is that? I can't find it. So right now I'm reading The Round Table in Georgian (with the English one in hand of course). I'm at the part with the menu. And I finally learned how you write "მაშ ასე"!!I hate it when I hear something all the time but can't figure out how to write it! By the way, I'm seeing a lot of perfect/pluperfect in this story...which is convenient since that's what I'm working on in Aronson right now. Although I still don't really understand how to use it just yet. Edited by zecchino1991 on 07 December 2012 at 6:50am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've been reading more of the story today. I have a couple pages left. I think I'll work
on Aronson later tonight since I want to finish by the end of the year! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I realized I have a problem with Georgian. A lot of times I read things and I understand
all the words and grammatical structures, yet I don't understand the sentence at all. I know this happens with every language, since every language has idiomatic expressions, but in Georgian it happens to me even with regular sentences!

It's not your only fault, it's also a consequence of those books overloaded with verb charts, like Aronson. Even Aronson's exercises don't help much with understanding normal sentences. What you need are translations/parallel readings. See what you can figure out from Contemporary Georgian Fiction, or maybe you can get a classical, western book with Georgian translation.

That's one of the things that made me realize I had this problem. I would read things in the Georgian version and I didn't understand, but once I read that part in the English one it made perfect sense. So I guess I just need to keep doing that and then I'll get used to it. :) Edited by zecchino1991 on 10 December 2012 at 7:11pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

zecchino, I discussed at the TAC 2013 thread, and we can do a Georgian TAC on our own, as a duo. Then you can join a team for the other languages of yours, like I did. I think it's important to have a Georgian team/duo at the TAC, because that will give the language more visibility!! =D =D
