The Georgian library
ხევისბერი გოჩა
The Georgian library is fully live: a graded ladder of ten books that starts at “ეს არის საქართველო” and ends with Kvachi Kvachantiradze in the original — plus classics by Qazbegi, Dumbadze and more.
The Georgian ladder
Graded from “hello” to the classics.
- Start at A1. The first Georgian book assumes zero knowledge — and it's completely free.
- Each book climbs. Vocabulary and grammar grow one notch per chapter, so you never hit a wall.
- Real literature at the top. The ladder ends in authentic Georgian texts, unabridged.
How it works
Reading is the method.
No drills, no streak guilt, no cartoon owl. You read real stories, and the app quietly removes everything that used to make that hard.
Tap any word
An instant gloss with romanization for every script — no dictionary detour, no losing your place in the story.
Tap a sentence
See the full translation only when you want it. Understanding stays a choice, not a crutch.
Listen along
Every catalog book is also an audiobook. Native narration highlights each word as it's spoken — karaoke for reading.
Read-along audio
Every book is also an audiobook.
- Native-quality narration for every catalog book, chapter by chapter — included, not an add-on.
- Karaoke highlighting. The word being spoken lights up as you read, so your ear and eye learn together.
- Your pace. Slow it to 0.5× while you're starting out, push past 1× when you're flying. Tap any sentence to replay it.
- Offline too. Download the audio with the book and listen anywhere.
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Do I need to know the Georgian alphabet first?
No. Every word shows its romanization when you tap it, so you can start reading on day one and absorb the script as you go. Most readers stop needing the romanization within the first book.
I'm a complete beginner — where do I start?
The first book in the ladder starts at absolute-beginner A1 with sentences like “ეს არის საქართველო” (This is Georgia) and grows one notch at a time. If you already know some Georgian, start higher up the ladder — the app estimates your level from the words you know.
How much Georgian content is there?
Ten graded books with 417 chapters, from A1 to authentic literature — including Qazbegi's Khevisberi Gocha and Dumbadze's Me, Grandma, Iliko and Ilarion. The first book is completely free.
Is it free?
The first book in every language is completely free — no account, no card. A Pro subscription later unlocks the rest of each library.
How is this different from flashcards?
Flashcards teach words in isolation; stories teach them in context, with grammar and collocations attached. ReadNative tracks your vocabulary automatically while you read, so you get the measurable progress of an SRS without the grind. And if you love Anki, every book exports a ready-made deck.
Also on ReadNative
One subscription, every language.
Every language gets the same treatment: a graded ladder of real books, tap-to-translate, audio narration and vocabulary tracking.
