These begin with a closure released into s-like friction. Keep aspiration and ejective release separate. ძმა begins dz + m without an inserted vowel.

beardUse a Georgian keyboard
The guided course has on-screen letters in logical order. A Georgian keyboard, often with a phonetic Latin-key mapping, is optional. Names and sentences use ordinary Mkhedruli, not a capital first letter. Mtavruli is an all-capital style for whole headings.
