The hardest part of learning Georgian was never the lessons. It was what happens between them. You finish lesson 12, you know more Georgian than most foreigners in Tbilisi ever learn, and then you stand in the bakery rehearsing უკაცრავად (uk’atsravad) in your head and say nothing, because there was never a low-stakes place to practice saying things out loud to someone who answers back.
That place now exists. EasyGeorgian Pro is live in the app today.
What Pro is
Pro adds two things to your EasyGeorgian account: a conversation tutor and on-demand grammar help.
The conversation tutor comes in two versions, and you can switch between them anytime.
Phrase practice (v1) is conversation built entirely from your course. You speak or type Georgian, and the tutor answers with real recordings by a native speaker, choosing phrases from the lessons you have completed. Every reply is vetted course Georgian with perfect pronunciation, because it literally is the course. If you have ever wished you could have a conversation with your audio course, this is that.
The AI tutor (v2) is a full conversation partner, in live voice or written chat. You talk, Mariam or Levan answers, the conversation goes where you take it. It is the more flexible of the two, and the voice is AI-generated, so we will say it plainly: it does not sound as good as our native speakers. It is still a partner that answers you in Georgian at eleven at night, without an appointment, for as long as you feel like practicing.
It speaks the Georgian you have learned
The thing we cared most about building is restraint.
Every generic AI chatbot can technically converse in Georgian. Ask one to help you practice and within three sentences it is using vocabulary and constructions you have never seen, and the conversation turns into a dictionary session. That teaches you mostly that you are not ready, which is false and discouraging.
Pro is built on your actual progress. It knows which lessons you have completed and which words you are learning in your flashcards, and it holds the conversation inside that. When you have done 12 lessons, it speaks like a patient friend who knows exactly which 700 words you know. When you have done 40, it grows with you. You can narrow a session to specific lessons, point it at your flashcards, or open it up to free conversation on a topic, ordering at a cafe, asking for directions, talking about your weekend.
A conversation where you understand almost everything, and get to produce the words you have been collecting, is the single best review session we know of.
Tap any word and ask why
Next to the conversation there is a grammar panel. Highlight any Georgian word or phrase the tutor said, tap Explain, and you get a clear answer about the form: which case, which tense, why that ending here. If you have a specific question, ask it in your own words.
This works in the tutor and on your lesson pages, and the answers stay saved with the session, so the “wait, why is it მიდიხარ and not მიდიხართ” moments finally have somewhere to go other than a mental note you lose by dinner.
Where Pro fits
Pro does not replace the courses, and it does not replace a human teacher.
The courses are still the engine. They put the Georgian in your head, and they stay one-time purchases, yours forever, exactly as before. Nothing about them changes and nothing in them ever requires Pro.
A good teacher is still the right move later, when you can hold a conversation and want a human catching the nuance an app cannot. What Pro covers is the long stretch in between: the daily reps, the confidence, the retrieval practice that turns lesson vocabulary into things you can actually say. It is the part where what you mostly need is volume, patience, and zero social pressure, which happens to be what software is good at.
Who can get it, and what it costs
Pro unlocks once you own an EasyGeorgian course and have completed 5 lessons. That threshold is not a paywall trick. Pro builds conversations from what your lessons have taught you, so before lesson 5 there is not enough material for a conversation worth having.
If you are past 5 lessons, you will find the Tutor in the app now, with a tour waiting to show you around.
The price is $19.95 a month, or $179 a year. Every new subscriber starts with a 14-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime, from the app, in about three taps. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of what you paid for.
If you have been doing the lessons and quietly wondering when the speaking part starts, this is it. Open the app, say გამარჯობა (gamarjoba), and see what happens.
