Looks good! I might have heard about it before. The sentences might work wonders for enriching one's vocabulary. Pity that it doesn't have audio, that's what I need the most now.
As for the book with verb tables, definitely a must have. I think Kiziria is preparing a similar work, in English.

I've finished reading the first actual dialogue at the Intensive Course. I don't have any unsolved doubt left! I could infer everything from context or from dictionaries. I'm still treating participles as normal vocabulary entries, still didn't bother learning how they are formed accuratedly. That may come up later, when I've run out of textbooks and start a mix of novel and strict grammar reading on a daily basis.
Btw, what does that trophy that started showing up in my profile stand for?

That's for getting to a higher level in Georgian than any non-Georgian lifeform on earth ever. :)

I've realized that even though my reading skills improved a bit, my speaking/writing is kidan stuck. I haven't written anything in Georgian in the past days and I just don't feel in the mood to, I feel like nothing really important will come out of it. I'm aware that reading is something that might bring you quicker rewards as for being able to reading nice stories, but producing content in a language is also an ability that has to be worked upon. If I let my reading skills advance way faster than my active skills, I'll end up unmotivated for actually writing Georgian, and it only gets worse.

ჩემ დაწერილის მიხედვით, მხოლოდ მინდა გავაგრძელო ქართულ კითხა მას შემდეგ, კი კიდევ ერთხელ დაწერილი მაქვს რამე ქართულად.
(What I meant to say was:
"According to what I wrote, I only want to continue reading Georgian after I have written something in Georgian once again."

Sorry for self-quoting, but this is the correction I got:
"ჩემი ნაწერის (ნათქვამის) მიხედვით, მე მინდა რომ გავაგრძელო კითხვა მას შემდეგ , რაც კიდევ ერთხელ მექნება დაწერილი რამე ქართულად."

It wasn't a good idea to leave half of the dialogue for today. I was getting quite a lot from context, and now I'm completely lost, specially regarding syntax. I'll try my best to do the whole dialogue in a row, even though they only get bigger, at about 8 pages or more. Anyway, I don't think reading 8 pages of a language and only having trouble at 5, 6 sentences is anything to be ashamed of. =D
