To me, all the caucasian language families sound quite distinctive, for example Adyghe sounds a lot like Abkhaz to me:

Two samples from radio free europe: Chechen: http://realaudio.rferl.org/CAC/2012/09/02/20120902-152000-CA C-program.mp3 (http://www.radiomarsho.com/podcast/?count=50&zoneId=7736) Avar: http://realaudio.rferl.org/AVA/2012/09/01/20120901-150000-AV A-program.mp3 (http://www.radioerkenli.com/podcast/?count=50&zoneId=7735) (delete the spaces in the links) NEC languages really love throaty sounds :) Compared to NEC/NWC languages, Georgian sounds VERY slavic..

Thanks! I've been listening to those for like an hour now haha. Avar sounds the coolest!
But I think all Caucasian languages sound really cool. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I don't think I can understand any Laz at all. It looks like a completely different language.
I assume you're already familiar with this, onkel_xiaoma: Svan 1 person has voted this message useful | |

A very productive day. I managed to finish lesson 18 from Hewitt's book, and I got hold of at least 2 new
textbooks in Russian and a monolingual one, the Russian ones with plenty of audio. Still, I think I'll keep my plans of taking the newspaper reader and aronson's after the ones I'm using now, all in all, those two Russian books may be a bit easier than my level, and I'm also happy at I start to find books that are under my current level somehow, that's encouraging =D 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Just found several links of online libraries where I could get books in Georgian. Jules Verne's works are on my list, parallel French/Georgian reading ;)
