When most of the world uses some variation of the Latin alphabet, Georgian can and does boast about its three different and entirely unique alphabets, while you only need to learn just one of those three alphabets to read everything in Georgian, you can learn much more than that. When it comes to the alphabet, three is better than one.
Just learning a new way to express yourself will do wonders for your brain and bragging about knowing this beautiful language is a reward in and of itself. But if you work in any sort of creative field, if you like creating fictional worlds for your stories or making worlds for your D&D campaigns, this is the language and the country for you.
Aside from three unique alphabets, you will learn 1000* most commonly used words (There is an asterisk there because you'll learn way more than that at the end of the course. That number simply looks better).
To top it all off I will introduce you to the Georgian culture. Since I can't possibly make a course where I explain every part of what makes up Georgian culture, I am going to give you a taste of many different parts of Georgian greatness, and from there you can choose which path to take. I'll show you those path's also.
Finally, by paying for this course you are funding a better future for Georgia.
God bless.
