Languages and tourism centre georgia

I've been a returning student at this language center. Initially, I attended Farsi classes and later switched to learning Georgian. The facility itself is quite small, with only three teaching rooms, located in a Soviet-era building away from the city center near Delisi metro in Saburtalo. The classrooms are basic offices with whiteboards, which work well for one-on-one or small group lessons. The teaching approach for the Georgian language is strong and more effective than what I experienced at the more upscale institute, Gogo Askureva, where I learned a lot about the language but struggled with active speaking skills. My teacher Lika, who is the wife of the owner Giorgi, focuses on making you speak. Unlike in my previous experience with Pikria, Lika uses a proper set of learning materials, including Shavtvaladze's "Georgian Language for English Speakers," which is quite comprehensive, though it includes a lot of thematic vocabulary that could be found in basic phrasebooks. She also creates custom media, like audio recordings of verbs, upon request. For Georgian learners, mastering pronunciation is crucial due to its challenging consonant clusters. The Persian language instruction was decent but lacked appropriate materials for English speakers, relying instead on Iranian school textbooks, which aren't ideal for adults. Though I didn't study Russian, I've overheard lessons here using Russian-developed materials for teaching it as a foreign language. They seemed effective, focusing well on various skills, particularly grammar. For more accurate feedback on the Russian classes, one should consult actual students rather than rely on my observations.

I really enjoyed learning Georgian here. The one-on-one instruction is flexible if you express your needs. They offer a wide range of books and learning materials, which will help me continue studying on my own after the intensive course. The office atmosphere was peaceful and very comfortable. The apartment they provide is excellent — conveniently located near the Delisi metro station, spacious, and well-equipped. Learning Georgian with Lika as the teacher was a pleasure!

Я давно мечтала выучить грузинский язык, приехав туда на небольшой срок, решила начать по немного изучать его, пошла в школу Languages and tourism centre georgia и после первых 2-3 занятий у меня уже не было акцента и я знала всё самое необходимое для чтения, ещё много чего осталось выучить, но будем стараться. советую!

Expertise and warmth!

Хорошая школа, особенно для иностранцев. Не нужно искать школу языкознания, а просто прийти сбда и начинать изучать грузинский язык с основ. Порадовало, что для грждан США и ЕС не требуется виза. Это облегчает их посещение данной страны. Ведь порой из-з визы люди не могут полететь туда, куда им хочется. Также была удивлена, что существуют курсы по обучению приготовления грузинских блюд.

Attentive instructors. Affordable course. Really enjoy it!
