For the Issue of Language as a Relationship, Culture and Nation Awareness

Abstract

When teaching Georgian as a foreign language, not only the alphabet,
morphological-syntactic, stylistic and lexical queries
are taught, but also the details of the national consciousness are
shown. These details make one unity that determines the character,
habits, traditions and actions of the nation.
Foreign learner is interested in the whole cultural face of this or
that nation. This is why such request was brought by the life of
today`s world. American Erin Meyer answered the challenge with
the book “The Culture Map”. You can find many nations with their
practical views and cultural attitudes.
Georgia`s place in this culture map was very interesting. Language
is learnt because of the communication – communication determines
the cultural form – cultural view determines the mentality
of the nation, its consciousness. Language is an opportunity, it`s a
weapon to codify the nation. If there is not this or that word, signifies
that the nation has not thought of it, it hasn`t needed it.
It is a question statement. We should build our cultural map, which
implies and consumes of many things. Individuals, especially intellectuals,
create the epoch, influence the generation, but determining
the mentality is perceived according to the nation`s actions and
is represented by the language.
