There is a well-known quote โAs many languages you know, that many times you are a human
beingโ. In Georgian it sounds like this โแ แแแแแแ แแแแช แแชแ แแแแแแ แแแแแแแแ แฎแแ โ.
Based on this saying I'm 2 and a half person. Georgian is my native language and of course I know it, English may not be as fluent as desired but quite enough to communicate with you, and a little bit of Russian.
My name is Mari and I am here to help you to learn Georgian.
My husband and I have a tourist company, and for years I had the opportunity to communicate with foreigners from different countries. I enjoy the communication and sharing parts of our culture with people from all around the world.
Me as a Teacher
A few years ago a friend of mine advised me to try my luck as a Georgian teacher. Nowadays I think that it was one of the most interesting challenges in my life, before that I had never been a teacher.
And my adventure started โฆ On this journey, I met a lot of interesting people from different countries.
In my lessons, every time I find something new and I am growing as a teacher. Fantastic feeling of pride and joy becomes more and more present when I see how my students enjoy the process of forming themselves into a Georgian speaking person, finding a new way to express themselves and that always gives me extra motivation to go on.
My lessons & teaching style
There are three directions that I use:
I โ Basic Georgian. Here you will learn the Georgian alphabet. Reading, writing, speaking, and also we will discuss Georgian grammar.
II โ Essential phrases and dialogs. This direction is designed for tourists. I mean you will learn the words like this: hello - แแแแแ แฏแแแ, good bye - แแแฎแแแแแแก, how are you - แ แแแแ แฎแแ , nice to meet you...
III โ Reading and speaking. Itโs for students who already know Georgian and who want to improve their knowledge.
My classes are individual. So you can organize and tell me what you want, how you want to learn.
Finally, I would be truly glad if you join my class and we will start an amazing, unforgettable journey.
I had a fantastic time during the lesson.as always Mari is a great teacher.We wrote short essays about myself with her support.I learned a lot. I'm looking forward to the next lesson.Thank you Mari!

This was my first lesson with Mari and I enjoyed it very much. I didn't know it was possible to teach online someone who does not even know the alphabet, but she she definitely knows how and she made it so much fun!

Fantastic first lesson with Mari! I'm not a beginner, and it can be difficult to find the right teaching style for what I'm looking forโnot grammar explanations but active practice in reading and expressing myself in Georgian (though I have no doubt she'd be great at the grammar explanations too!). Mari very quickly got a sense of my level and spoke to me in a way that I could understand, and after we talked about my goals with Georgian, she provided materials to review, homework, and a plan for what kind of exercises we can do next time. Very excited for the next lesson!
