Alex Rawlings likens language learning to a skill and just like playing football or the guitar, we will only get better if we practise. His first tip is to find a language partner and suggests finding a meet up group. I have been meeting up with the Georgian Language Club in Tbilisi since August. I have managed to incorporate their times into my schedule, so I am always free between 6:30pm and 8pm on a Tuesday. The group is a mix of Georgians and non-Georgians, I mostly listen as my language skills are not yet up to the levels of the others but it gives me useful input.
I have also found a few people I can chat to around Tbilisi, like Edvard who has a stall in Vagzlis Basroba.
I have also met with Tinatin a couple of times to exchange English with Georgian. We speak for an hour in Georgian and an hour in English.
