Designed for beginners with no prior knowledge, this textbook provides a solid foundation in grammar and communicative competence for everyday life, travel, and work. The textbook begins with an introduction to the Georgian script and pronunciation. It is followed by 21 lessons structured as follows: an introductory text in dialogue form, a vocabulary list with brief grammatical explanations, exercises, and a German translation of the Georgian introductory text. Lessons 22 to 33, which include texts on the history and culture of Georgia, serve to reinforce grammar knowledge and expand vocabulary. The lessons are complemented by a concise systematic grammar overview, followed by conjugation tables. An answer key for the exercises, a Georgian-German glossary of all vocabulary used in the textbook, and a German index complete the textbook. In conjunction with the included mp3-CD, which features selected lesson texts, the textbook is also suitable for self-study. The content of the mp3-CD is also available for download.
