Ich bin Amerikanerin und versuche, das georgische Alphabet zu lernen und hoffentlich auswendig zu lernen, aber 33 Buchstaben sind schon eine Herausforderung 😅

  1. Writing, writing and more writing.

    When I was learning kanji I would write 2-3 of each kanji until I had it memorised

    Get one of those notebooks for 1st grades yo learn letters and fill it up

    I’m making a progress too. I’ve learned a half of the alphabet just by reading street signs, advertisements and so on while in a taxi. Shop names are often transliterated into both languages so it became pretty obvious what each letter is. For example “Aversi” and “ავერსი”

    Funny thing is, asking us Georgians won’t really help, because we never “learned” it like that. We were just exposed and exposed and exposed to it which is what really did it, so we can’t give much academic advice besides just “immerse yourself in it”. For more clever advice, it’s expats/foreigners that you need.

  5. Many first time language learners tend to overestimate the challenge that new writing systems present. With the exception of Chinese, Japanese and perhaps a few others with very opaque orthography, new writing systems are typically the smallest obstacle to learning.

    Not to mention, Georgian is essentially completely phonetic, so you don’t have to memorize any complex pronunciation rules.

    It really is just a matter of practicing reading and writing until it becomes comfortable.

    You can start trying to write out the whole alphabet from memory, then writing out basic vocabulary and phrases. I would recommend pulling vocab from a textbook or a frequency list (start with 100 to 500 most common).

    That should get you ready to start “sight-reading” new words and sentences with more ease.

    Also, find a handwriting sample or manual, so that you get the letter heights right.

    i am georgian and maybe that’s why i think that but isn’t it easy? you read it exactly how you write no need to learn pronouncing different words

  7. Thank you for the comments, though I’ll add that I’m not brand new to learning languages, Georgian is my 4th (though longest list of letters to learn) and thought to ask if anyone had advice, didi madloba 🙏🏻

    Georgian alphabet is the easiest part of Georgian language, I don’t think anyone has any tips, you just memorize it like any other alphabets

    Pretty sure რ isn’t a trill, it’s a tap. But, idk I’m not a linguist🤷
