If you know anything about Euskera, the Basque language, you’ve probably heard it’s not the easiest to learn. But there are a surprising number of cheap or even free resources for you to teach yourself Euskera from anywhere in the world.
In this video, I’m sharing with you the pros and cons I’ve experienced when it comes to studying Basque on my own.
Got questions about learning Basque? As a beginner’s Euskera student and as someone who shares my language learning journey on YouTube, I get a lot of questions about the Basque language.

While it might seem like there should be a straightforward answer, this question is actually a little complicated and the answer depends on the different regions of the Basque Country.
