Georgian after Ling: where to pick up
Ling does teach Georgian: that is its catalog as of September 18, 2026. If you are already learning there, you do not have to start from scratch here: from “Upper-Intermediate” you would continue at unit 3 “In the city”. Your first session is a three-minute check that pins down your place, and the words you have covered come back for review a few at a time.
Ling levels and where they land here

Ling splits a course into five levels of ten units each: Beginner is units 1–10, Expert is 41–50. It does not map them to the CEFR, so the level in the table is the word count of our course at the point the link puts you.

Georgian proficiency exam
We found no widely recognized CEFR exam in Georgian for foreign learners. The closest thing is the language requirement for citizenship of Georgia; it has a page of its own.
How to switch without starting from lesson 1
- Tap your level. The row of links below this page opens Lingofly in Telegram, no install or sign-up. If you are new here, the “Georgian” course and your Ling level are already selected: you only go through three short screens — language, goal and study time. If you already have an account, add the language and tap “Where to start” on its card in your profile.
- Take the check. Your first session is three minutes of “what does this mean?” questions, from easy to hard. Two failed bands in a row and the check ends: we do not drag you through what is too hard.
- Carry on from your place. The lessons before your place count as done. Their words come up in your warm-up a few a day: remember one and it is yours; forget it and it comes back again.
Frequently asked
Is Georgian in Ling?
Yes. The difference is not whether the course exists but what is inside it: how many words, whether each has audio, whether the script is taught from zero. We have Georgian in full: 4042 words, with audio, the script explained, a phrasebook and grammar in plain words.
What Georgian level do Ling levels correspond to?
«Beginner» — A1, «Intermediate» — A1, «Upper-Intermediate» — A1, «Advanced» — A1 and «Expert» — A1. Ling does not map its levels to the CEFR, so this is the word count of our course. A three-minute check will show your exact place.
Is there a Georgian exam for foreign learners?
We found no widely recognized CEFR exam in Georgian for foreign learners. The closest thing is the language requirement for citizenship of Georgia; it has a page of its own.
Will I have to start from lesson 1?
No. Mark your Ling level and your first session will be a three-minute check, not lesson 1. From “Upper-Intermediate” you would continue at unit 3 “In the city”, and the words you have covered come back for review a few at a time. If you already have an account with us, add the language and tap “Where to start” on its card in your profile.
