Read everyday signs
Recognise entrance, exit and pharmacy in ordinary and heading print.
About this unit
Everyday signs may use ordinary letters or Mtavruli. Read the whole sign before you listen.
- Compare the start of long words: შეს… leads in, გას… leads out.
- Mtavruli does not change the pronunciation.
- The icon on a sign is a hint; the word gives the answer.

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.
