My Languages Day VLOG in Tbilisi // Learning Georgian and finding home as a Russian immigrant

Published 2024-02-03
I've been feeling out of place in Georgia as a Russian immigrant. I don't feel connected to the Georgian culture, I don't speak the language, I don't have local friends and my life revolves mostly around other Russian expats. But recently I decided to change that, so I went to Georgian classes (again) and I started learning German at the same time because why not. So in this video I will share with you my impressions from these classes, show you my favorite Russian-activities places and explore the yards of Tbilisi. I hope you find this vlog interesting!

    Your English is fine...I like the way your videos are filmed/edited. Great to get a real street view of these places

    Hey, Natasha, i recently saw you on Latvian tv show "Aculiecinieks" even though it was filmed like months ago! I was so happy and even showed it to my mom and she was happy to know that there are such people like you! Warm greetings from Latvia 🇱🇻❤️

    The sign of a great storyteller… you frequently find things on your walks that speak for themselves, no commentary needed. Like the chair chained to the tree or the woman telling you to leave. It’s great how you include these things but don’t feel the need to speak to them. Great video. Thanks.
  • @rogerfarley3300
    I like the casual walk around tour/commentary. Most of us will never know what it is really like for you and what it means to live your life through your experiences. Please keep sharing. I think you are very interesting. All the best!

    Your correct if you live in a country you should learn their language just out of respect. I don't consider it as you showing off but showing respect. And the fact you can learn so many languages just shows how smart you are.

    I have followed you for a long time Natasha. I am an old woman of 81 who lives in Montreal Canada. I love your videos. You are a very talented young woman. I wish you could come to live in Canada. Canada is far from perfect, but you would have the freedom here to develop and express yourself freely.

    Natasha, it is always good to hear from you and to know you are well. All of your videos are interesting, so whatever you feel like doing is okay with me/us. We know you are in a challenging situation and are doing your best to keep yourself educated and motivated, all of which are great things. Any time you need support, we are here for you.
  • @bethan.gruffydd
    It's so fun to be along with you again, exploring interesting places while hearing your thoughts. Best of luck with your language learning efforts; I'm sure it will pay off for you.

    Hi Natasha, Thank you for this update . Even though we have never met and are unlikely to do so, whenever you post a YouTube video It's just like meeting with an old friend who always enriches your existence and gives you hope for the future. Always a pleasure.
  • @PhotoTrekr
    Good to see you again and that you are well.
  • @PVNInteriors
    Natasha: I love your "day in your life" content. Please, keep publishing your Vlogs.

    2:41 It just gives me chills everytime to see my flag painted on the streets in Georgia, this is not the first time I encounter it watching vlogs which were filmed in Tbilisi... A warm gamarjoba from a circassian! :face-red-heart-shape:
  • @Unknown5925-
    Natasha, you are one amazing young lady ! You have shown so much strength going from country to country! Not a lot of us could do what you have had to do! You're a very strong and courageous young lady! I love watching your vlogs! Learning other languages shows your compassion towards other countries ! You keep doing you. Your videos i know will get you places. This Meaning, someone needs to make a movie of your documentary and the life of a young woman have to flee her country due to an unjust war! Stay safe Natasha! And always know you have people around the world that care and are here for you! Take care of your self ❤❤❤
  • @Alvey_en_Ecuador
    Hi Natasha, yes, I really enjoyed this format. I was fascinated by the streets you explored and the things you recorded. The objects that catch your eye are very interesting. Thank you for sharing this and being so open about your thoughts and experiences. I really appreciate your work. Thank you.
  • @bitegoatie
    Thanks for posting. The walking meditation on the city reminded me of some of your old videos from your home region. I love your eye for detail, your sense of irony, and your kindness to animals - and your analysis of the places you go and your place in them. I encouraged you to take the Georgian-language class in another comment, and did so for exactly the reasons you cited in this video. Connecting with the place through the language, interacting with people while you learn, and keeping your mind active with work on achievable goals are all good things - and adding German classes doesn't hurt at all. So it seems you are making progress already with Georgian, which will only improve with time, opening more possibilities for enriching your time in Georgia. Whether that turns out to be a long or short time really doesn't matter right now - you have to make a good life wherever it is you live. Do what you can manage with the videos without worrying too much about a rigorous schedule. I am interested in knowing what life is like in Georgia, but I also enjoy hearing your views on society in general through the lenses of your experiences with social issues in Russia and in Georgia (and other places). You have said those sorts of ideas require more scriptwriting, but you are well capable of doing such things, and you have done some of this sort of work in the not-distant past. I am happy to watch those types of videos too. Be well, and keep us in mind when you feel alone. There are a lot of us here for you.
  • @PaulFellows3430
    This is great Natasha. I like all your videos. Please do not change anything. Just continue to do what you do, because you do it so very well. And learning 2 more new languages is amazing. Good luck!
  • @richkroberts
    As an American, I find your videos fascinating. Stay curious. You’re doing great.
  • @v1rtuo5o98
    You always make me feel like i am right there with you . I love the fact that you go in to every minute detail.
  • Georgian language sounds good to my years and the writing is the most aesthetic, my opinion. Your future plans may not include Georgia, but for the moment it is a country where you were able to live, relatively quietly from what I see, so it may be part of you forever, so it is good to learn the language.
  • @Silveirias
    I'm glad you're making effort to learn Georgian! And I love how you show us random details and things you find interesting.
