I'm currently looking for interesting Georgian twitter feeds to follow. This wasn't part of my plan, but it's proven so useful for me with Turkish that I'd like to carry that over to Georgian too.
So far I've only found "GeorgianTag" and am now following them. They're not very active, though.
If any Georgian native or learner knows of any good twitter feeds to follow, I'd very much appreciate any recommendations.

I finally got around to installing and setting up Learning With Texts. I gotta say, it rocks! I got an answer right here on HTLAL to get Georgian correctly set up.
So I've entered the first song I've learned into the system and added the audio to be able to follow.
I'm going to be adding all my lessons from the Kiziria course too.
I'm still having a problem using the online dictionary I want to use though - http://www.targmne.com/. I'm able to use Google Translate fine, but I'd like to find a way to get another dictionary added.
Anybody know of a good Georgian > English online dictionary that doesn't use Flash or something not so straightforward?

Translate.ge is okay and doesn't use flash. I think targmne is based off the same paper dictionary that
translate.ge is, namely the old jaladze one. They return the same, strange definitions for Georgian words.

Yeah, I tried that one too. Didn't work within LWT. Maybe I just have the wrong variables being passed, but Google Translate works fine within LWT.

I've been working my little fingers to the bone these last two weeks, so I haven't had much time to keep track of what I've been studying, other than at a high level.
I've gone through lessons 4, 5 and 6 of the Kiziria book.
It's just about that time again to pick another song to learn. I think I'm going to go with Murdoc's suggestion to learn a song by 33a, although I don't know which one yet. There are plenty nice songs to choose from, though.
Oh, and I've only got two more lessons to complete in my 8 week challenge, which is due in a week. Think I can pull it off? I know I can, but I'll probably have to go back and review the two lessons I'll end up rushing through to complete the challenge. Is that cheating? ;)
