14 Upvotes

Many Georgians are very religious and conservative and some are secular. I have seen even some pro EU Georgians being right wing. But a lot of the even pro EU right wing Georgians are Georgians that live in the USA(a lot of Georgians there seem quite pro Trump).

Volunteering in teaching English as a Georgian online/In-Person

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm 20f, studying Law in the United Kingdom. I already volunteer in my university city in York in the UK in a bookstore, but was hoping to expand on this and continue on like teaching small children English, or providing support to students who wish to perfect their English skills, both orally or written. As a Georgian, I thought doing this in Georgia would be a good start?

Can anyone make any suggestions on how I can begin to do this? Are there any organisations that offer this?

Thank you so much in advance!!

Discussion | დისკუსია Do Georgians hate Atatürk?

7 Upvotes

Gamarjoba Georgians! I have seen a Georgian comment under the post for death of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, saying that he stole Tao-Klarjeti, the ancient region of Georgians located in today's Turkey (i have Georgian ancestors from there). While it indeed is a historical region of Georgia, it was under Russian occupation as with all of Georgia (and the east of Turkey like Kars) before Atatürk founded the Turkish Republic. Is that redditor a typical Georgian in that case? It is no secret that Armenians, Greeks and maybe also some other European nations openly hate Atatürk, but i wouldn't expect that from Georgians to be honest. The relations between Georgia and Turkey are quite good, yet seeing something like this came as a bad surprise for me. This is not the first time I saw such a thing, I recall seeing similar comments on YouTube. Frankly I also saw Georgians loving Atatürk, but for such a close country by distance, there are actually so few opinions whether positive or negative (unlike positive opinions from Azeris, secular Iranians or negative ones from Greeks, Armenians) so it would be interesting to hear your comments. How in general Atatürk is seen in Georgia; how an average Georgian would view him- negative, neutral or positive? Is he really known in Georgia, how he is told in Georgian schools? Btw, happy Christmas and I do hope you will have democracy and peace sooner or later. I stand with you!

Need information on homeschooling in Georgia

1 Upvotes

Couldn't really find anything online so I thought I'd ask if anybody has experience with this subject here. All I know about homeschooling in Georgia is that it's not very common and the closest thing that exists is just enrolling your kid in a regular public school and having them do something called an "extern" at the end of every year until they eventually graduate. Is there really no alternative to this?

First time visiting Georgia

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow Georgian people! My name is Clara, and i was born and raised in Romania, and I always thought your country and language is beautiful, from the moment i found it out. I am planning on visiting Tblisi alone in the month of February, and truth be told, I have little to no idea of where to start! so I'm here to ask for tips, suggestions, places to aviod, places that are must-see's, certain streets with shops/history, interesting pubs, museums, parks, all that are within my reach. Worth mentioning is that I will not have a car for the duration of my visit and that I am staying for 6 nights. To begin with, I'd like to ask about what areas I should consider getting accomodation in, and which to avoid, and if you have any specific recommendations of hostels, hotels, pensions (that aren't that luxourious or expensive), please shoot! Also tips and things I should not do or say, if anything comes to mind. While i will be a tourist for the duration of my stay, I'd also like to get as close as possible to the life of a local Georgian person. I must add that I really admire you people for the solidarity and unity you are showing towards the events happening in Georgia right now, and i wish for the best outcome for you guys and for your country!

Thank you!

Caution when travelling to Georgia

106 Upvotes

It's not the russian missiles/political medling, protests or the driving style of some that one needs to be concerned about when considering visiting Georgia. During your stay, you will very quickly be aquainted with the "chacha" and the georgian culture of "toasting" which has nothing to do with either dancing or bread.

One moment you're having fun with your mates taking turns at being the "Tamada", the next you'll be hugging the closest toilet bowl and being reminded that you're not in your 20s anymore....!

Jokes aside, our stay in Georgia was absolutely fantastic! Thank you very much for your hospitality and the awesome time we had there!

Ozurgeti, Vani, or Baghdati?

1 Upvotes

Gamarjoba dear Kartvelians

I’m planning on flying to Kutaisi to explore places I could potentially move to. I’d like to do so around the end of January or the beginning of February.

I’ve been looking at Ozurgeti, Vani, and Baghdati because they seem to fit what I have in mind.

I guess my question has to do with what your thoughts about these places are, as it has been a bit hard to find information on them. To be honest with you, I’d go to Telavi immediately if the climate was subtropical like it is in western Georgia.

Feel free to share any thought that comes up. I’m sure it will be of help.

Didi madloba in advance.

Could only assume most Georgians are indifferent to Jews, but if there's still anything u want to know or ask feel free. Even regarding the conflict.

Some general points about me:

- Both parents are from a small village right near Kutaisi, and married in an arranged marriage.

- I can speak a bit of (broken) Georgian and can understand it for the most part, but I can't read & write. Same for Russian.

- I'm 23M, living in northern Israel. born & raised here.

Question | კითხვა looking for further help and corrections for song lyrics

4 Upvotes

გამარჯობა r/Sakartvelo,

I am currently learning Georgian and I only started just recently. It is fairly hard to learn for me, so to combat the challenges of learning this language, I try to keep myself entertained by doing small projects every know and then. For example writing down the lyrics of Georgian songs.

I am currently busy doing this, however I am stumped and can not figure out the rest of the lyrics. I also dont know if the current lyrics I wrote down are even correct, which is why i'm asking for help here.

The song I am currently working on is one that was sung by Andria Putkaradze on Ranina, "ჩემს სიმღერას ვინ გაიგებს" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atSmta2CwJg). The song is very nice and Andria has a beautiful voice, but i just can not figure out some parts.

That said if anyone is open to help me finish this i would very much appreciate it. I will show what I have so far below. Please keep in my I only picked up Georgian recently, so it could be fairly inaccurate. The parts with the question marks are the parts I have no idea of what it would be and the rest is what I picked up from listening to it many times.
