I'm still very excited about Tschenkéli's book and less so about ACC. Even so, I think I'm managing to learn quite a bit from both. Tschenkéli repeats the vocabulary so often, but I assume that, when it gets to verbs, everything will get a bit more difficult. As for ACC, I think poetry will be more fun because poems are shorter than those novel excerpts.

Things start to become more and more interesting. Today I read about the declension of adjectives. I never thought I would say this, but I think Tschenkéli would repeat the vocabulary way too often at his examples, thus preventing us from learning more words gradually.
As for ACC, moving on to the last prose author, Sulxan-Saba Orbeliani. The last pages in Chavchavaze were much easier because they consisted of dialogues, always more interesting than long, lost descriptions of landscapes and rooms.

It's been a while since I last updated here. I'm currently at Tschenkéli's lesson 7. I
decided to split it into three parts because 1) I'm getting burnout from reading in
German and 2) I'm dealing with important topics such as extended genitive and double
declination then the older plural, so I better give each of them a day, hoping that when
exercises come I will have figured everything out.
As for ACC, I'm already at the second poetry author.

Hi Expugnator!
Good luck with your languages this year. I will be following your log particularly closely for your Georgian journey, and will be going back as far as the Georgian journey goes in this log to read it at some point. Good luck!
Jack

Gamarjoba, chemo megobaro! I'm glad we're on two teams together now! I love our little
personal Georgian team. :)
Good luck with all your languages. Tsarmatebebi!

Thanks LanguageSponge, that's very nice of yours. I did get to a point when I need tips
on extensive language learning techniques, so any piece of advice is welcome. Don't feel
it as an obligation because officially my Georgian is not tied to Team Mir, but please do
keep a look! (Even this might change if and when the Russian teams get merged, because my
Georgian co-learner is on Russian Team 2).

What do you mean, two teams?! =D Have the Russian teams merged?!
In this case we can add our Georgian to the list of languages at Team Mir, then! Even
better!
