Axlave Arizonashi var, dedachemis megobartan stumrad.
I brought my Aronson but I am waiting for a quiet time to study so i can concentrate. I need perfect peace and quiet for that book! I did listen to some Gruzinskiy yazik s mamoi. I wish I could have brought ACC somehow... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

დღეს მამაჩემის დაბადების დღეა. ახლა 59 წლისაა! მე და დედაჩემი მასთან ერთად რესტორანში
მივდივართ და ჰოკეის მატჩს ვუყურებთ. I'm sorry if this is really bad! I need to start writing again so I can continue to get the feel for it. I'm still not sure how to make correct sentences most of the time! And I don't remember how to say ვუყურებთ in the future tense. And what I really wanted to say is that we are going to the restaurant to watch the hockey game (they have a bar with TVs)...

Well I guess I should do an overview of the past month. For a while I was actually
following through with my goals of reading ACC every day and listening to Gruzinskii yazik s mamoi, but when I went on vacation I got out of the habit (I had no choice, although I did still do Gruzinskii yazik s mamoi) and never got back into it because of school. Also I didn't finish Aronson yet, but the 6wc starts tomorrow so I will finish it very soon! Although the main language I'm doing for the challenge is Russian, I will work on Georgian a lot as well! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

zecchino, have you already taken a look at Нодар Натадзе's Самоучитель грузинского языка? It's the book I was having in mind for our next step at Russian/Georgian TAC. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have audio, but there are several sample sentences for practicing each grammar topic in depth. By lesson 7 he will already cover objective forms of the verbs.
There are other books with the (obvious) title Самоучитель грузинского языка. Be sure you get the one by Нодар Натадзе. (That is, unless you like another one better =D I'm open to changes). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Sounds good to me!
So I am finally reading Aronson again! I am on chapter 11, and I have one question: why the hell didn't they put this chapter BEFORE the last one?? It makes sooo much more sense now. I was so lost in chapter 10...I mean, I understood it, but not nearly to the point that I would have known how/when to use it in real life. Now I wish I had known to read chapter 11 before chapter 10, because it would've made much more sense! In fact, I think I might even go back and read chapter 10 when I'm done with this one.

I just have two random Georgian observations I've been thinking about:
I just realized that the Georgian imperfect ending -di is very similar to the Hebrew past tense ending -ti. No wonder it seemed so familiar when I first learned it in Georgian... Now for a really random one! You know how when people want a horse to slow down they say "woah, nelly"? Well "neli" means slow in Georgian. Maybe horses only speak Georgian? ;) Edited by zecchino1991 on 02 February 2013 at 9:42pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think someone owes me a visit at my Russian and my Georgian logs =D
How are studies coming along? I'm just a beginner at Russian but I really hope next book will sort things up. As for Georgian, a new breathe has come now that I finished reading the poetry section. I'm wondering where can I find news that can be read both in English and Georgian, maybe if Deutsche-Welle or BBC have Georgian versions... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I finished chapter 11 (except for the exercises). It was less confusing than the last
one, although I am still not sure when to used the present perfect and pluperfect. I know the correspond to, for example, "have done" and "had done," respectively, but I know they can be used in other ways that I do not completely understand. But there are some other things I actually try not to worry too much about understanding. For example, he really likes to illustrate theoretical verb conjugations just to show that they are possible, like დაეგრძელებინებინა. What would this word even mean? "He/she had had him/her lengthen it for him/her"? Also, I try not to spend too much on literary things. I just want to be aware of them in case I encounter them in reading, since I won't really have to produce them very much, if ever.
