Try to understand the specifics of the language. Georgian, the only one in its language group, has a written language. There are cases in it, of which ergative and transformative do not coincide with the Russian. In addition, there is a vocal and absent accusative case. The Georgian language is characterized by a division into numbers, but at the same time, it does not have a division into feminine, masculine, and middle gender. This is an agglutinative language, that is, grammatical signs can be reflected using prefixes and suffixes. So, one verb can "carry" up to eight morphemes.

Develop tactics and strategy. When learning the Georgian language, you need to decide which work rhythm is most comfortable: alone or with a group, alone or with a teacher. In a small town, the most common option is two to three study guides, a remote tutor or distance learning courses and a native speaker. If there is no way to find it in real life, social networks focused on learning languages will help. For example, livemocha.com. There are a lot of language courses, including distance learning. By the way, it is not necessary to spend money on modern textbooks of the Georgian language, they can be taken for free in libraries. Many textbooks were written back in Soviet times and have withstood several editions.

Immerse yourself in the language environment. In order to be satisfied with the language, you need to read books, listen to live speech (for example, news or podcasts in Georgian on the Internet), communicate with native speakers either verbally, epistolically or in chat rooms, honing your knowledge of Georgian written language. Immersion in the language environment implies that the student has cards with new words or special software on a mobile phone. The player loaded Georgian songs, audio books or films in Georgian. And, of course, reading Georgian literature, epics and works of modern authors will provide an idea of the literary Georgian language.
