Abstract

Study and acquisition of the second language primary foresees gradual development of the lexis. A rich lexicon of the person directly promotes easy acquisition of the second language.

In our reality, at Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, we deal with different groups of the Armenians, Azerbaijanian, Turks, Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs and other people, prompted with different aims to study the Georgian language. Some of them acquire the Georgian language easily, some with difficulties. In order to detect the factors promoting and complicating acquisition of Georgian vocabulary, we’ll discuss the following cases: 1. The vocabulary, which is common for all ethnic groups (the international words); 2. The vocabulary, which is allied to some ethnic group; 3. Fully new vocabulary (according to the aims of studies); Thus, these and other related issues will be covered within the frames of the paper.
