Do you need to speak English or Georgian to get around Tbilisi?

Before buying IMAX tickets, check the screening language — you can accidentally end up with a Georgian dub and no English subtitles, and switching afterward is hard.

English usually covers museums, restaurants and taxis, but learning a couple of basic polite Georgian words (hello, thank you) is appreciated by locals.

For closer interaction with locals (e.g., job hunting or renting an apartment), knowing at least basic Georgian words is often required, while English is helpful but not essential.
