    In the late 90s I remember driving from Barcelona to a hotel my wife had reserved on playa de la concha in Donostia, and somewhere along the route there was this huge hand painted sign in English: "Remember Friend, you are not in Spain anymore"
    Stopped at the next petrol station. There were Eurskara dictionaries or phrase books to be had, and the guy running the place, sensing our disappointment and desire to "do the right thing", closed his little shop and spent the better part of an hour giving us an impromptu lesson, scribbling things down on bits of paper. Zein gizon zoragarria!

    I have a story with the word "bai". My mum isn't basque as my dad is, but she knew some words that leart from my dad, one of those words is that one "bai", of course, as it's the first you learn. Well, in 2001 I used to be living in Ireland and had an Irish boyfriend. Once a year the hotel I was working at used to close its doors for Christmas time and then I would go back to Spain, well the Basque country ;).
    During Christmas, I could speak to my boyfriend on the phone, but this day I did not pick up the phone, but my mum instead. And my boyfriend asked for me. My mum cannot speak a word of English and she was trying to make herself be understood, and for some reason, she thought that speaking in basque my Irish boyfriend could understand her better 🙄... So she said: "Oh, Izaskun, bai, bai, etxean dago, bai, bai, bai!"... So my boyfriend all he could understand was: "bye, bye, bye, bye!" So he hung down the phone!! 😂😂
    And my mum came to my room and told me: "I don't understand, he hung me down!" Hehehehe!! That was so funny!...

    I an from Azerbaijan (in Caucasus) and we speak a Turkic language very similar to Turkish. All these basic basque words have similarities with my language, just little changes and similarities with some synonyms we dont normally use. I guess, scholars never thought to compare Basque with Turkic languages! Add to that Caucasian languages (Georgian, Chechen) and you will get full picture where Basque originates from )) by the way grammar for Turkic, Caucasian and Basque languages (also Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian) is the same type: ‘agglutinative’ versus ‘flexive’ of Indo-European languages ))

    went to Euskal Herria for the first time when I was on tour with my punk band (hardcore punk is very popular there) and was fascinated by the language. I then attempted to learn Euskera for many years. While I did make some progress, I am still unable to have a conversation in the language. Euskera hizkuntza oso ondo da, baina oso zaila ere bai.

    I love your video!!! It warmed my heart. I have been many times to the Basque Country both on the French and Spanish sides (On the French side, I always go to Sare) and on the Spanish side pretty much everywhere. I have done Camino a few times back and forth but never left the Basque Country. I absolutely adore the culture, the weather, the way people interact with one another, what people eat and how they treat others (AND the language of course). Interestingly, they are very proud of their identity, which I respect a lot, because I'm also originally from a different French minority. When they found out that I was neither a pure French or Spanish, they were instantly so much more hospitable. On the Spanish side, they can also speak English, especially the young ones and it's just English but super good English. I'm in love with the Basque people - my favourite part of Europe. However, as a lecturer of the English language, teaching in the top UK unis most of my life, I applied for many teaching jobs in the Basque country and I was always rejected. Apparently, that's because they don't want a foreigner to stay for too long. I was sad because how else can I learn the language if I don't live there for 2 to 3 years, and whats's the point if I don't live there to use it. It just sounds so nice.

I am reading the Basque History of the World for the 2nd time as a primer for visiting that part of the world. 1st i will need to learn some of the basic language terms. Eskerrik Asko - thank you.

    This video is so nice, thanks a lot!! I went to the Basque country with my parents when I was a baby/toddler and they learned the language in a barnetegi in Urepele. My parents divorced but when my sister and I were teens, my dad decided to visit the basque country every year for aberri eguna. My sister and I made friends there so we also visited in the summer and after that I decided I wanted to learn Basque as well and so in summer 2018 I went to Urepele as well and I had (looking back especially) the coolest 4 weeks of my life. During the weekends I had free time so friends would pick me up or I would go to one of my dad's friends, and after the ikastaldi I took 3 good friends with me to Belgium and they visited for another week. As someone from Belgium I loved how spontaneous the Basque people are, and more relaxed with the rythm of the day. I met lots of people and kept some very good friends, if covid is finally over I really want to go back. After the 4 week ikastaldi I only went back for aberri eguna in 2019 but since then it hasn't been possible anymore.

Until I had my daughter who did have B positive blood type. I needed medical intervention, and take a shot my entire pregnancy to prevent my blood cells from attacking my daughter's like a foreign virus. Thank God it worked 💜

      Hey RH, many Basque have these stunning eyes, do they seem like yours as well? I have been told this many times back when I was a single man. Thank you for being so negative.(LOL) I thought I was the only one left besides Hella.

    I’ve heard a handful of Romanians and Hungarians say it sounded similar to their languages, but similar in how Greek sounds similar to Spanish, but having little to no similar meanings except for a handful of loan-words carried over during the height of the Roman Empire and later through Byzantium.

    I just found out that my name is a Basque origin. My great grandfather was from Spain originally (my paternal last name as well). I see this language is beautiful. I'll learn some words 🤗

    Could you do a video on the song Agur Jaunak. I would love to know the correct pronunciation of the words. I love the Kelly Family version.
    Agur, jaunak,
    jaunak, agur,
    agur t´erdi.
    Danak Jainkoak eiñak gire
    zuek eta bai gu ere.
    Agur, jaunak,
    jaunak, agur,
    hemen gire.

    Amazing, thank you for this!! I learned Agur from my Spanish Basque friends, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't really working in Lapurdi. I kept hearing what sounded like A-O and couldn't figure out what was being said.

    What do the Basque say after someone sneezes? Sound like the set-up to a joke, but I'm actually asking!

    Hello Maria. Name drop: I work with Joe Goyaneche. Love your videos. I am thinking about becoming a member of the cultural center. Joe is president he keeps prodding me. I live in Alameda. It would b e an honor to meet you, my daughter is learning languages she finds the Basque language challenging.
