Language | ენა I made an app to learn Georgian, with my grandpa as the teacher

გამარჯობა!

I'm Georgian, a solo Android dev and a student in the EU. I learned English from zero just by watching anime with subtitles for 4 years, so this year I built an app that teaches Chinese the same way: real videos, and you tap any word you don't know.

While building it I realized I wanted to make the country I was born in proud. Georgian has its own alphabet and its own language family, and there's still no Duolingo for it. So I built one for Georgian. It's called Kakhi, after my grandpa, a proud Georgian.

In the app he's the one teaching you: a cartoon grandpa who pulls up a chair and says gaumarjos when you hit your goals (the video is his intro).

How it works:

- 550+ short videos from Georgian YouTubers: cooking, markets, travel, everyday talk

- Georgian subtitles with romanization over every word and English under every line

- tap any word: what it means in that sentence, its dictionary form, and what the ending does (-ში = in)

- Kakhi says every word out loud, slowly too

- watching is free, no account (there's an optional Premium for unlimited look-ups and flashcards)

It's on Google Play as "Kakhi: Learn Georgian" (Android).

Honest bits: Android only for now, and the app itself is in English. I'm sure you'll find mistakes in the subtitles; tell me and I'll fix them. And if one of the videos is yours and you'd rather it wasn't in the app, say so and it's gone.

I honestly don't know how many people want to learn Georgian, but I'm proud of this one. Any comments are welcome, especially from native speakers. The mods kindly said it's OK to share the link, so here it is (it only went live today, so Google Play search doesn't show it yet): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kakhi.app

გაუმარჯოს!

Edit: so many of you asked for iPhone that I'm building it now (aiming for november). I added a small waitlist: leave your email here https://plyerstudios.com/kakhi (the box under the Google Play button) and you'll get exactly one email, on the day Kakhi is on iPhone. After that email I delete the whole list. No newsletter, no ads, never shared and you can ask me to remove your address any time.

a gap year - Georgian student life

3 Upvotes

Well, firstly, I graduated from school with a gold medal and decided to pursue a degree in psychology. Shortly after I started university, the COVID-19 pandemic began, and I decided to take an academic leave for a year. I was also working at the time, and it was difficult for me to balance work and studies.

After that, I changed jobs several times, working in customer support and payment processing roles. I gained a lot of experience and earned a good amount of money along the way. However, I couldn't return to university because of my debts and loans.

Five years have passed since I took that break from my studies. This year, I decided to change my major to business administration and management. I'm currently in my third week, and I already feel exhausted because I'm working and studying at the same time.

People study to get jobs like mine, and I already have one. I want to quit university again and rethink my major because I'm not sure whether I'm genuinely interested in it. I also don't have much time to study.

I can't quit my job because I need it financially, and doing so would cause me problems. I work from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m., while my lectures and seminars are scheduled early in the morning. I've even had to study during working hours, which has negatively affected my performance at work.

Please, what are your thoughts? I'm worried about quitting university again, and I feel like I haven't really tried hard enough to balance everything. However, it feels impossible.

I'd appreciate it if you could share your objective thoughts...

Fighting for the proper name of Sakartvelo

I've been trying to add and keep the line "also known as Sakartvelo" for English wikipedia page about the country of Sakartvelo. I need your help to make it stay.

My edit using multiple sources calling it as it is was removed on the following grounds:
"unless you can cite reliable sources, who uses Sakartvelo in English? traveline-tourism.com and harbourfrontcentre.comaren't reliable sources"

In order for it to stay i need to gather academic sources openly calling Sakartvelo it's native name in English sentences. I've already found one basic in Encyclopaedia Britannica ("Also known as: Sakartvelo, Sakartvelos Respublika") but i'm pretty sure wikipedia mods won't allow this one to be used so i request your help to defend the dignity of this country

Question | კითხვა What’s considered normal between male and female friends in Georgia?

0 Upvotes

I’m a woman from an English speaking country and I’ve noticed that Georgians tend to be more affectionate and emotionally expressive in both platonic friendships and romantic relationships.

I’m dating a Georgian man, and sometimes I find it difficult to distinguish between what is normal friendliness in Georgian culture and what might be considered flirting or crossing a boundary in a relationship.

For example, a man sending heart emojis or complimenting his female friends by commenting “beautiful” etc on their pictures seems relatively normal and acceptable in Georgia, whereas in my country this isnt common and could easily be interpreted as flirting.

So what kinds of affection or behaviour between men and women are considered completely normal between platonic friends? And are there certain behaviours that would generally be seen as inappropriate or as red flags when someone is in a relationship?

გამარჯობა

I'm an Argentine American who is obsessed with Georgia and I wanted to visit there it's in my bucket list..

I have many questions and pretty much many topics to ask

If I arrive to Tbilisi would they deport me if I'm with an Argentine and an American passport?? Cuz I've seen situations in the news or internet that tbilisi airport had deported people I wasn't sure if being American and Argentine would be a problem in Georgia or not..

And also since I'm in here I really want to make a friend that can help me guide through tbilisi and gori kutaisi and batumi , if so then dm me plz

And last question I know it's an odd one but I have autism and I'm not too sure how georgians would react I'm not severe but more independent and knowing my way in life, I ask because if I don't get mistreated in georgia or any areas anything like that

Anyways like I said dm me if u have any questions ;)

დიდი მადლობა

Discussion | დისკუსია ADHD meds absence in this Country ruins my fucking life

I’m a Georgian guy with diagnosed severe ADHD and social anxiety. This bitches don’t allow normal medications for this shitass disorder that is absolute norm in other countries. Every aspect of my life is fucked.

I can’t even pay attention to Uni and every year because of it pay for subjects only increase. I can’t finish Uni until I pass them which I won’t. OR I have to go to military for 6 months I think? I hate both of these options.

I also have trouble with getting a job. I’m suicidal as a result. I’d gladly fucking die at any moment. ADHD meds are absolute norm even for kids in other countries, why is everything wrong here? How come no one talks about it?

მოკლედ უნივერსიტეტიდან გამოსვლას ვფიქრობ და როგორც ვიცი ალბათ ჯარში გამიშვებენ მაგის გამო. 20 წლის ვარ.

კითხვები მაქვს და არვიცი საიდან გავიგო ზუსტად და იქნებ ვინმემ იცით აქ ან ყოფილხართ ჯარში.

  1. რამდენი ხნით უშვებენ.
  2. შემიძლია თუ არა რომ გადავიხადო და არ გამიშვან, და რამდენი უნდა გადავიხადო.
  3. რანაირი პირობებიაქ და რა ვალდებულებები მექნება.
  4. უნის გამოსვლიდან რამდენ ხანში მიშვებენ.
  5. ჯამრთელობის მხრივ რა შემთხვევებში არ უშვებენ.

Hi guys!

My wife and I are planning to move to Georgia in February. We’re Brazilians, I’m fluent in English and she knows enough to understand what people say.

Do you guys have any tips for newcomers? We’re planning on living in Batumi, we don’t have kids or pets. I work in sales, and I’ll be working remotely.

Thanks in advance for the replies.
