thank you so much! I'll be volunteering in Georgia this summer and I'm looking forward to applying the language skills you teach! It's actually hard to find anything about it, so it's awesome that you're making these videos, keep up the good work!
Hi Roman, glad to hear that. Check out the resource video I made. I discuss some good resources for beginners. The language is already difficult and I know that it can be 10x more difficult without good resources.
We actually happen to have these sounds alongside softer, comparative equivlants in Amharic and Tigrinya. Some of them are pronounced slightly differently from georgian. I'll write them in same order as you had in the video. In Amharic (and Tigrinya too i think) they're hard ጥ ቅ ጵ ጭ ፅ ጽ and soft ት ክ ፕ ች ስ ሥ ፅ and ጽ share the same sound as do ስ and ሥ , At least in amharic. These are all independent letters though and the meanings of words do change completely depending on whether letter(s) used are comparativly hard or soft. Some of them are pronounced slightly differently from georgian. PS! It's possible that the letters i wrote won't show up on your end. We'll see.
@@ryannakao2448 Good! I forgot to mention that we write in abugida. So these and the other letters are modified a bit to indicate which vowel the letter is pronunced with. The ones i wrote are just one of these 6 vowels. Check this out. www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/amharic.htm the unique letters are the one that go down the very first column (we read and write left to right). and then each letter is modified 6 times for vowel sounds when you read them row by row. The 7th sound and everything else outside the two big boxes are exceptions as you see not every letter is modified with those. No one agrees on how to romanize these letters so take the latin letters in the front with a grain of salt.
Hi Robert, I'm actually not sure, you may be right, I'm not familiar with the proper terms linguists use in this case. This was more of a laymen's way of describing and differentiating the two types of sounds found in Georgian that was taught to me and also a way that I found helpful for teaching beginners. I'm also not very familiar enough with Russian to know their version of hard versus soft sounds. Perhaps you could explain the difference between ejective consonants and palatilized consonants
Georgian, like the other Caucasian languages, has ejective, or glottalized consonants . There are not found in Slavic languages or any Indo-European languages except for Ossetian , which borrowed them from the neighboring Caucasian languages . Ejective consonants are pronounced by constricting the glottis so that the consonant escapes the mouth in a sort of explosive way . In Russian , soft consonants are palatalized , or pronounced with a y sound . The Russian word for student, is student, but the d is combined with a y sound and is pronounced stu-d'yent . Hard consonants do not have this palatalization .
Got it. Yeah I know what you mean because I was trying to learn the Russian alphabet for a little while and remember those soft sounds. Thanks for the clarification

Thanks Ryan. It is so difficult to find resources for learning Georgian so this is great
Glad to help. I agree Georgian resources are part of the challenge with learning Georgian
Respect from Georgia! 🇬🇪❤
Thanks
After about 6 months of trying i can now say კ 🤣🤣

Great, thanks
It's going to be a year that i'm studying georgian and i still do not pronounce any of these sounds .it is really annoying . you cool :)
I've had the benefit of living here so that has helped big time. Don't give up

The letters did show up, very cool, thanks for sharing. One of my friends is Ethiopian, so now I can mention this to her the next time we talk.

After the pronunciation of these letters, I feel that my throat is tired. Is this normal?
I don't remember if that happened to me or not, but I would think it probably is
Aren't these hard consonants actually ejective consonants ? It's not the same as with hard vs soft (palatalized) consonants in Russian .

Would I still be understood if I say a word having any of this hard consonants with a soft consonant? Or that change the meaning?
Yeah you probably will still be understood but it could change the meaning in some cases. For example, კარი - door whereas ქარი - wind
