The course places special emphasis on vocabulary and pronunciation, and students will work with authentic spoken Georgian to develop natural comprehension.

By the end of the term, you’ll be well prepared to continue to intermediate-level Georgian, pursue further study, or travel abroad with confidence. With dedication and enthusiasm, students discover how this ancient and famously challenging language reveals itself as a clear, orderly, and beautifully structured system.

If you’ve ever wanted to speak Georgian or use the language for reading and research, this is the perfect place to begin—join us this spring!
