Ah, Truman, life is so short!
When I started with the language craze some years ago, I flirted with Swiss German (the apple of my eye) and some UK dialects such as Cockney Rhyming Slang and Brummie. I also flirted with a little bit of Irish, Estonian and I don’t know if Dutch and Greek qualify, but I will list them too.

Problem is: time!
So I started prioritising the languages I was studying that allowed me to communicate with more people (because communication plays a big part when it comes to learning languages for me).
I want to believe someday I will revisit some of them at some point in my life and I dream about places with dialects or where dying languages still exist (the New York language “scene” - can I use this word in this context? - fascinates me).

Good luck with your Georgian!
