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. Some people want to know if it’s hard to learn, some ask how they can start learning, and others ask why bother learning it at all.
It’s rare to find Basque movies with English subtitles, so I wanted to share with you what movies from the Basque Country are available for streaming in the United States.

In this video, I talk about Handia / The Giant, Errementari / The Blacksmith and the Devil, and Loreak / Flowers. The first two are currently on Netflix US and the last is on Amazon Prime Video.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m sharing some research I’ve done on the different ways of promoting minority language. In my searches, I’ve come across several articles from Irish sources comparing the ways the Irish language is promoted in Ireland with how the Basque language is promoted in the Basque Country. This comparison provides an interesting case, because daily use of Irish is decreasing while the daily use of Basque is increasing.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m sharing some research I’ve done on the oldest languages of Europe. For years I’ve been told that Euskara, the Basque language, is the oldest living language in Europe, but I wanted to investigate whether that’s true.
What I found is that it’s a complicated question with no simple answers!
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m answering a common question I see about the Basques online: What languages do the Basques speak?
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.
