I always attempt to learn some basic phrases of the local language before traveling to a foreign country, but Georgian was a particularly tough nut to crack. The Georgian alphabet (one of the most beautiful in the world) leaves translators with the tough task of creating Latin-alphabet equivalents, none of which really do the language any justice. There are also many glottal sounds in Georgian that have no English counterparts, making mastering pronunciation as difficult as finding a good phonetic rendering.
