The course we needed did not exist
So we built it in Tbilisi: a Dane who had spent three years stuck at hello and thank you, and the Georgian he married. That project became EasyGeorgian.
"Went from having zero good tools for Georgian to literally having all of them. Still surprised this exists." — Nikolaj P.
"Tried a couple of teachers. Felt like I was back in school. THIS is how languages should be taught." — Nawaf B.
"I tell anyone to just try it. These methods work. They've just been missing for Georgian." — Lone S.
"Finally. I've been wanting to learn Georgian like this in forever." — David S.
"Before this, my wife's family and I mostly smiled at each other. Now we actually talk." — Anders E.

The problem was the tools
I am the Dane. I moved to Tbilisi in 2021, during the lockdowns, for what was supposed to be an adventure. I ended up staying, marrying Tamar, and building a life here.
And for three years I made no real progress with the language. Not for lack of trying. I tried teachers, and I was asked to handwrite the alphabet in a notebook, like in school. I tried Anki, and stared at bare text cards until I stopped opening the app. Duolingo does not have Georgian. Babbel does not. Memrise, Rosetta Stone, Busuu, none of them do. The tools that did exist for Georgian were word lists with a translation next to them.
I had learned Russian and Spanish with modern audio courses. I knew exactly what a good course felt like. For Georgian, it did not exist.
That frustration became this company. In early 2024 I asked Tamar to help me build the thing I wished had existed when I arrived, and I learned Georgian by taking the lessons we were making, which is a strange way to learn a language and turned out to be a very good way to test a course.
Beyond the two of us, EasyGeorgian was built with Georgian teachers, voice actors and developers. It is self-funded. Nobody has told us what to build, which is why it took two years and why it is not a word list.
The other ways to learn Georgian
People learn Georgian without us all the time. This is what that looks like.
| EasyGeorgian | The modern apps | Private tutors | Books and word lists | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Teaches Georgian at all | ||||
| Speaking from the first lesson | – | Depends | ||
| Audio by native speakers | – | |||
| Spaced repetition built in | – | |||
| Fits any schedule | – | |||
| Cost of the full path | $79.95 once | – | $10 to $35 an hour | Varies |
The modern apps column is short because none of the big platforms teach Georgian at all. And a good tutor is genuinely valuable, just later: after a course, you can hold most of the lesson in Georgian.
