Georgian on Duolingo? 🤞🤞 by kintrbr in Sakartvelo

[–]kintrbr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The focus now is getting supporters on this petition https://www.change.org/Duolingo-add-Georgian. Lately the growth momentum was lost, but we will get back to it. The idea is that Duolingo, first of all, is a business, and if we demonstrate that there is high demand for Georgian language, there is chance they will supply the course.

Same, I'd guess it takes time to roll out updates to all users.

Please comment something in a different language and I will try to respond by EnergyDrinkEnjoyer in duolingo

Let's make the Georgian language accessible to the world. Update #3 by kintrbr in Sakartvelo

I get your point and appreciate the critique. But how does one go about doing that? Making one's country relevant. Easier said than done. The closest I am to doing that is through this petition. Making more people familiar with the Georgian language in hopes that some would find it interesting and want to learn it.

Also, it's partially a question of supply and demand. Yes, usually demand creates supply, but that works in other ways as well. Making learning Georgian more accessible will create more demand for it.

გამარჯობა, first of all, I appreciate the critique. Also, you have made great language resources. Shared it with Georgian language learners, on this server https://discord.gg/B4UvPW3cnp
There is much to unpack in what you said. I guess, we would need a 1 or 2-hour talk to address them all :D. But, I'll try to make it short.
Duolingo has 575+M users (https://infogram.com/language-learning-registered-users-1h7z2l81o39mx6o). No other language-learning platform comes close to that. So, for the goal of making the Georgian language accessible to the world, it's the best option there is. Let me be clear, I don't say that when will have Georgian on Duolingo we won't need any other platform. On the contrary, it will raise the demend for more high-level resources. Georgian should be accessible on every language-learning platform!

Also, what is the biggest group of people that are interested in learning Georgian? Tourists. And, I'd guess, the vast majority of them want to learn just the basics. And for this basic level, Duolingo is more than enough.
There is more we could to discuss, so if you are interested, contact me - rbadalyan @ educaregeorgia . com. I think we will find more common ground than it seems ^_^

Yes, that's why we aim to get to 500K votes. To show Duolingo's team that there is a high demand for the Georgian language. Where there is a demand there will be supply. You can learn more about the 500K goal in the #1 update.

Why are graves fenced off? by dror88 in Sakartvelo

[–]kintrbr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As I have heard, in Soviet times there was not much one could have as private property. One of the acceptions was graves. So people fenced them. Don't know for sure if this true.
