Tinatin Bakhtadze

კიდევ ერთი მშვენიერი გაკვეთილი (როგორც ყოველთვის!) ძალიან ძალიან დიდი მადლობა 😊

Tinatin and I chatted spontaneously about my recent trip and about the Georgian diaspora in the US. Then we moved to a text describing people, studies, and professions. She ensured that there were a lot of handy phrases in the text that could be used in many contexts.

დრო გადის, როცა მასწავლებელი კარგია! დიდი მადლობა 🙏🏻

Today was a great day! A conversation about the holidays, traveling, fishing--all Georgian! I feel progress today, which was great. Part of what made it good was preparing ahead of time with a text that Tinatin gave me, which included questions to answer in Georgian. That immersive approach helps me a lot.

Today we worked through a text that had a lot of similar vocabulary configured in different ways. It was a great way to work through and practice vocabulary because once you encountered a new word, you would see it in slightly different contexts a couple more times.

In today's lesson, Tinatin provided a short simple text that she had written, which was great for reading practice. It was fun to learn about people she knows, and the text was written in a way that was both authentic and manageable for a lower level student. This type of reading practice is hard to come by in Georgian and is very much appreciated!
