We Tried to Learn Europe’s Oldest Language in 7 Days

In a moment of stupidity, we thought it would be a good idea to try and learn a language in a week.

It was a gruelling challenge and we owe a debt of gratitude to many people. This would have been a very different (and less interesting) week without the input of Eider, Maite, and Aitor who helped us immeasurably.

Also, thanks to Mikel and Gurutze at the Euskararen Etxea. We recommend it thoroughly.

Finally, thanks to the wonderful Basque band Skabidean for letting us their song 'Betirako'.

Basque is a jewel that has survived thousands of years and is now thriving especially among the youth. It was an honour to study it and we hope other people decide to do the same.
