Your independent Georgian reading check

Read fresh words, a heading and a new message without cues.

About this unit

Show what you can read on your own: unseen words, a heading, a menu and a short message, without pictures or sound hints.

  • Every letter has been taught, even in the new words.
  • Read each item before you play any sound.
  • You may open the alphabet; your result notes when you used it.

Read first. The check has no pictures or spoken answer cues. You can open the alphabet if you need it; your result will note the support.

Use 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.
