Learn Georgian Language and Find out more about Georgian Culture

If you live in Georgia and you want to communicate with people or if you’re just interested in this wonderful language, then this course is for you! Besides being a native speaker, I’m into linguistics: I’m doing my Masters in Romance Philology (French Philology). I spent a semester in Montpellier, France and studied French and Comparative Literature in Montpellier Paul Valery University as a part of the Erasmus Exchange Program. I graduated in Art Theory and History from Tbilisi State University, so I have a deep understanding of linguistics and culture. Apart from learning the language, you will become acquainted with Georgian literature and culture during your studies.

About Me

My Lessons cover acquiring speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Classes are interactive, I’m open to helping and sharing knowledge, open to students’ questions, making sure that they are fully involved in learning process as it is essential to achieve the desired results. That’s why lessons are animating, lively and full of energy. It’s important to use acquired information (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) in practice, in everyday situations. My students compose their own sentences, dialogues and texts based on the learnt material and afterwards try to demonstrate their knowledge, play different situational games at the lesson.
Playing is a vital part in learning: according to Dutch historian and cultural theorist Johan Huizinga, whose text Homo Ludens researches characteristics and motifs of play, game, every culture and civilisation has roots in play, playing is a free activity, child is imitating real life situations while playing, it is like a rehearsal. Play is an essential part in teaching – the lesson should imitate the game, students should feel themselves free and willing to study, they should play real situational games at the lesson. To my mind imagination plays a significant role in learning, that’s why I always encourage my students to think, to be open-minded, to imagine and go beyond the limits and boundaries of the everyday world - therefore, my lessons are based on not only sharing facts and information, but also helping my students to shape, animate and enliven these facts and information, rehearse and practice real-life situations before they use their knowledge in reality.
Moreover, as a translator, I find translating and interpreting one of the most effective ways to achieve the language learning goals – one realises differences between languages, unique characteristics of the target language while translating. Furthermore, I consider that one should understand the culture of the country where the particular language is spoken in depth, in order to speak this language fluently. Personally I considerably improved my language skills when I watched Downton Abbey and Crown in English, Eric Rohmer’s movies in French, Almodovar’s movies in Spanish, Tarkovsky’s – in Russian and Fellini’s – in Italian. That’s why I encourage my students to read Georgian literature and watch Georgian movies.

Reviews (5)

Mariam is a very helpful and experienced teacher. Her lessons are productive, engaging, and tailored to the needs of her students. Highly recommend!
very pleasant and responsive to my learning needs as a beginner
Mariam is a skilful, bright and passionate teacher. She will explain you a topic thoroughly and systematically, while making sure to put the new knowledge into practice right away. On the other hand, if you are interested in linguistic details of a certain topic, Mariam will easily go in depth, down to etymology, since, besides being a native Georgian speaker, she is also an educated philologist. So, not only will you learn the general material of a lesson, but also discover fun, peculiar and useful facts and words along the way. And I think this is the best about Mariam's style of teaching: it's flexible and adopting to *your* needs and interests. Recommended, obviously!
Mariam is a consummate professional, easy to connect with, and very knowledgable about both teaching methodologies and the structure of the Georgian language itself. I learnt more from Mariam in one session than I would have been able to in a week on my own. Highly recommended.
It has been a very entertaining and close class. You can consult any aspect, from grammar to more cultural topics. I hope I can learn a lot from her.

Marie-Monique
Certified teacher of French and Classics
I am a certified teacher (I was accepted into the CAPES of Classical Literature in 1999) and I have practiced my profession for more than twenty years in French establishments, public and private, both in France and abroad. In recent years, I have had students from all classes from Sixth to Terminale, and I am familiar with the current programs and exams in all three subjects. I am used to preparing students for various exams (DNB and baccalaureate), including oral exams. I can give support lessons to students in difficulty, or who want to fill any gaps. I can also help students who simply want to improve their skills. I can also teach Latin and ancient Greek (to students of all levels, including beginners). I strive to adapt to each person, and to define a strategy to achieve the objective they set. I regularly review with the student their progress and what remains to be improved. I also worked with students with special needs (school phobia, chronic illnesses, expatriation, etc.). I am comfortable with digital tools and online courses. Finally, I also have some experience proofreading academic writings (dissertations and theses).

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

German Language for Beginners (Deutsch - A1 und A2)
German as a foreign language can be hard, especially regarding the grammar part. Always focusing on the structures of the sentences can be challenging and demotivating when trying to connect the sentences in a communication environment. That is why with the help of this class, you'll get more confident in building strong sentences without the stress usually involved. As a foreign speaker of German of over 3 years, there's no other person that understands the struggles better than I do. We will cover all the fundamentals with the background of grammar and syntax so that we are able to create a strong base for future advanced levels.
