Now that I have found my old txapela (Basque beret), I can really start learning Basque! Greetings from Barcelona! #ImlearningBasque

I think an Iberian ham sandwich and a beer in Basque is "Urdaiazpiko iberikoa ogitartekoa bat eta garagardo bat" If I can learn that without stuttering or stalling, I'll deserve one. " #ImlearningBasque

Just learnt that "hot" in Basque is "bero". All good. But "cold" is "hotz".... #ImlearningBasque

A bit of pocket study for the metro. A long, slow road... Bide luze eta gogorra... (I think) #ImlearningBasque
