No, young people nowadays generally are not fluent in Russian. Most can speak basics though and understand most of it. As for me, I'm just about at that level as well. We've all been hearing lots of Russian on TV since early childhood, so it's relatively easy for us to understand it, but when it comes to speaking, we tend to be quite slow, speak with accent and our speech is limited to basic conversations. There are quite many exceptions though, some don't speak at all and some are quite fluent. As for school, most people don't pick up much Russian there. I don't know if it's teaching methods or something else, but it was my least favourite subject at school as well. Now I wish I had studied it better, because I get to meet lots of Russian-speaking people and it's quite useful. And there definitely is not any stigma against speaking Russian in Georgia, the more fluent you are the better for you.

Has anyone ever seen this thread??
http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=13746&PN=1 (Take the space out after the T...I can never figure out how to post links here..) There are lots of resource recommendations in there! And did you guys know that the Aronson Reading Grammar book has audio? How did I not know this?? :O Edited by zecchino1991 on 18 April 2012 at 8:50pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Can't seem to get your link to work, but I do seem to vaguely remember there being audio
for Aronson's book. I think I made a mistake when I first bought it by ordering the version without the audio. Or maybe that was Lehrbuch der Georgischen Sprache... Anyway, can you imagine someone reading out those hilarious sentences? Probably worth buying the audio for the comedy value! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Just as Aronson's book can be downloaded freely (not piratedly) from SEELRC site, the audio for it can also be accessed at Indiana University site:
http://www.iu.edu/~celtie/georgian_g311_g312_g511_g512.html The audio for other books is there, some of these are recordings of the own university. I bet that's the case for Tschenkeli's grammar's exercises. That's great news! No books, though. I personally never tried Aronson's audio either. I don't know, I'd find it strange to listen to textbookish sentences. I'd rather listen to dialogues or to actual conversational sentences like book2 ones. EDIT: I found the audio also for an old-fashioned soviet book I have! (Self-Teacher of the Georgian Language --Chanishvili, Tsuleiskiri, but the book is actually in Russian). Those guys are really keen in recording! Edited by Expugnator on 19 April 2012 at 1:45am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@Serpent: I know but when I do that the links still don't work... Oh well, I'll figure it
out eventually.
Haha, yeah! Imagine someone saying "Greetings, Comrade. I received a package from Leningrad yesterday..." Expungnator is right, it must be weird to hear those kinds of things spoken. Edited by zecchino1991 on 19 April 2012 at 4:12am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ai, chemi motxrobaa. :)
დღეს უნივერსიტეტში ვიყავი და კლასში საინტერესო ფილმი ვუყურეთ. კლასის შემდეგ ებრაული ენის გაკვეთილში მივედი. გაკვეთილში მხოლოდ ოთხი სტუდენტი იყვნენ, მაგრამ ეს ძალიან მომწონს იმიტომ, რომ ებრაულად ლაპარაკი უფროდ შემიძლია. ეს იყო ჩემთვის ძაან ადვილი გაკვეთილი, მაგრამ მაინც მომეწონა. მასწავლებელი ვერონიკა ქვია. ბელორუსიდან არის მაგრამ ისრაელში ცხოვრობდა, ამიტომ ებრაულად ძალიან კარგად ლაპარაკობს. გაკვეთილის შემდეგ სხვა ერთ სტუდენტთან ერთად კაფეში წავედით. იქ ვჭამდით და ყავა და ჩაი დავლიეთ. კაფეში ვერონიკამ ებრაული სიტყვები და სასაცილო რუსული ფრაზი გვასწავლა. ეს ძაან სასიამოვნო დღე იყო.

Hehe მივხვდი, რას წერს =D
რატომ სწავლობ ებრაულად უნივერსიტეტის შემდეგ? უნივერსიტეტში არ არის ებრაული კლასი? 1 person has voted this message useful |
