Leo, let's discuss learning Armenian and Georgian. Which do you find easier?
Mira, while I enjoy challenges, those alphabets look daunting.
Don't be intimidated! Learning Armenian might unlock hidden calligraphy skills.
I'm more concerned about accidentally summoning a demon with those Georgian letters!
What about language schools? Any recommendations in Yerevan or Tbilisi?
Yerevan State University offers decent Armenian courses. Tbilisi State University... well, Georgian grammar there is challenging.
It's a "beautiful struggle"! Imagine reading Georgian poetry in its original language!
I'd prefer sipping wine in Kakheti. Less mental strain, more sunshine.
Speaking of wine, toasting in Georgian with "Gaumarjos!" sounds impressive.
Only if you can pronounce it without choking on a khachapuri.
Seriously, is immersion easier in Yerevan or Tbilisi?
Yerevan, perhaps. Tbilisi is more international, so English is used more. True immersion requires a babushka who force-feeds you khinkali!
That's an image! Any language exchange meetups?
Both cities have them, but expect debates about which country has the best dolma.
The food wars are endless! At least you learn while arguing. Food improves everything.
True. Pointing and grunting works in most restaurants.
Which language offers more career opportunities?
Depends on your career. Archaeology might favor Armenian, diplomacy Georgian. Learn both and become a Caucasus expert!
Double the languages, double the travel opportunities! Any good online resources?
Many apps and websites. Find a language partner for slang and inside jokes; that's where real learning happens.
It's about connecting with the culture, not just memorizing grammar. Ready for Armenian and Georgian lessons?
Let me finish this podcast. Then, maybe… if you buy the khachapuri. Deal?
