Hello all .
I'm new in here ,my name is Cordel and I'm interesting in learning Georgian. Currently I'm also studying for Russian and it is a pretty big challenge,but I like it and it is going well. About Georgian ,I have no material and/or mp3's except for the book of Howard Aronson. Can you please recommend me on how to study Georgian ? what do you think is best way to learn Georgian ? 10x in advance. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Aronson is probably the best book out there as it comes with audio. The only other book I have come across is Hewitt, B. George (2005) Georgian: a Learner's Grammar (rev. 2nd edition) Routledge. This is the course book used by at least one university course (taught by the author). I have both, and while only having made cursory examinations of them, I prefer the way that Hewitt's is structured. If it came with audio material it would be the ideal learning course.

Okay thanx for the reply. I've already downloaded the Aronson's books from http://www.seelrc.org:8080/grammar/mainframe.jsp?nLanguageID =7 (after checking the previous recommendations in the forum) ,does Hewitt's course also available for download ? Are there some interactive programs that you can recommend ? (like RosettaStone ,but they do not have Georgian) and /or free website with free material ? 10x Edited by Cordel on 08 May 2008 at 2:46am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hewitt's is available to buy from Routledge. I had forgotten that Aronson was freely available for download, thank you for the link. Do you have the mp3's for Aronson, available at Indiana University?
You might want to have a look at this website, it has some resources available online. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If your Russian is good enough I'd recommend looking up some sources in that language, many of which can be found on
www.nukri.org Nikolaishvili is not a bad course and is more geared towards everyday situations like shopping and job interviews, etc. rather weak on grammar, but this can be compensated for with another course, like Natadze, or a good grammar reference like Kekelia or Rudenko. Vakhtangishvili is a fairly complete phrasebook. If not, I'd recommend getting up to a good level first (that's what I'm doing), both Russian and Georgian are fairly demanding languages and English-language materials are frankly not the best (or the most affordable), though Aronson's reading and continuing courses are excellent. As for Hewitt, you can take a look at the reviews on Amazon and judge for yourself. Edited by zhiguli on 10 May 2008 at 10:57pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

It turns out that the Georgian professor who wrote that especially scathing review of Hewitt has her own book for beginners coming out in November (though amazon.ca gives the release date July 15):
