This joint venture by NABO & HABE is to get Euskara classes up and
running in our Basque clubs; i.e., we cannot at this time offer our
club program for independent learners who are not affiliated with a
NABO club that has classes. We're sorry but we have limited
resources at this time, but this does not bar you from learning Euskara
because there are other alternatives.
Option 1:
www.ikasten.ikasbil.net
So if you are a member of NABO club that does not yet offer classes,
we need your help to get things moving in your community. Talk
to your directorship to see what can be accomplished and NABO can
assist you.
If
you find yourself outside a Basque club but have a desire to learn
Euskara, check out these following options that are available:

The Basque Language by Alan
King is a comprehensive introduction to the learning of
Euskara for beginners. It has well organized lessons
that revolve around real-world encounters in the Basque
country. If you prefer to have tapes to hear what the
language sounds like, then his Colloquial Basque below is
recommended.
Find this
book at www.amazon.com
|
 |
Colloquial Basque is easy to
use and completely up-to-date. Specially written by an
experienced teacher for self-study or class use, the course
offers you a step-by-step approach to written and spoken
Basque. No prior knowledge of the language is required.
Cassettes accompany the course to help you with listening
and pronunciation skills. By the end of this rewarding
course you will be able to communicate confidently and
effectively in a broad range of situations. Find it at

or Basque language schools offering various levels and
durations of classes.
Type "euskaltegi" into your
search engine (e.g., google) and many options will pop
up. Then find the town(s) you would be interested
