The Harvard Extension School‘s Beginning Georgian (GRGN E-1)
This intensive course provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern Georgian language and culture for those who would like to speak Georgian or use the language for reading and research. Designed for students without any previous knowledge of Georgian, the course stresses all four major communicative skills (speaking, listening and viewing comprehension, reading, and writing).

Georgian Language Integrated Course is intended for all students of any age and level. It covers the situations, vocabulary and grammar required to take students up to B2 level and it also covers some of the additional structures required at a more advanced level. The Course comprises dialogues and short texts with comprehensive explanation of new vocabulary and further mastering of this vocabulary before moving on. Communicative and situation-based exercises, which give practice in using and understanding the new vocabulary, help students learn how to deal with particular situations in Georgian. The Course also has plenty of material for oral work. It includes ‘Georgian realia’, which are documents drawn from Georgian daily life. The Course pays particular attention to its grammar section. Explanations are strictly related to the material of a single lesson and are, therefore, not exhaustive. The explanation of each new point of grammar is followed by appropriate and diverting exercises. The Course has improvisation, or role-play, exercises. This gives students the opportunity to use the new vocabulary and structures learnt during the lesson to communicate in real-life situations. Finally, the course has plenty of authentic video material in Georgian which includes cartoons, documentaries on Georgian history and culture and films.
