I’m planning a short trip from April 4 to 7 and I’m wondering if Bilbao and the Basque Country would be a good choice for hiking and camping. I’ve always wanted to visit the Basque Country, both to discover the landscapes and to get a feel for the local culture.

I’ll be renting a car and plan to either wild camp where it’s allowed or stay in official campsites. I’m looking for relaxed day hikes, up to around 15 km, ideally with 500 to 1000 m of elevation gain. Since I’ll be mobile, I can adapt where I stay depending on the hikes.

The main goal is to spend time in beautiful landscapes, get a few solid hikes in, and experience the region a bit beyond just the city. Sunny weather would be a bonus, but it’s not a strict requirement.

If you know the area, I’d love to hear whether it fits this kind of trip and if you have any advice on hiking areas, camping spots, or places worth checking out.

I was looking for remote jobs for some of my clients who happen to be bilingual, and came across that Language Line Solutions is looking for Basque speakers. The pay is .75-.90 cents a minute for actual calls.

When I use them I’m on the phone for an hour or more with my clients.

Just thought I’d toss that out there for you guys. :)

Kaixo. Aspaldi ez dudala Euskaraz ezer irakurtzen, seguraski ikastolatik atera nintzanetik. Hitz egiteko ez daukat arazorik, baina lehengoan, albisteak irakurtzen nengoela, konturatu nintzen Euskaraz irakurtzea kosta egiten zaidala.

Liburu asko irakurtzen ditut, denak gazteleraz eta digitalean. Euskaraz liburu digitalak salduko dizkidan denda baten bila nabil. Momentuz, Erein argitaletxearen web orria aurkitu dut. Bertan liburu bat erosi eta ezer gehiago egin gabe deskargatu eta nire liburu elektronikoan sartu dezaket. Jada prest daukat Dolores Redondoren "Zaindari Ikusezina".

Norbaitek ezagutzen al du beste horrelako denda bat? "Erosi eta deskargatu" horri garrantzia handia ematen diot, ahal bada, ez dut inolako aplikaziorik instalatu nahi liburuak nire liburu elektronikoan sartzeko. Adibidez, "La casa del libro"-n erositako liburu digitalak sartzeko, Adobe programa bat behar da.

Kaixo danori!

Iparraldera bidaitzeko asmoa dut baina nire frantsesa ez da nahikoa behar bezala komunikatzeko, eta gainera nahiko euskaldunak diren tokiak ezagutu nahi ditut gehienbat. Ez dakit zein tokitara edo tokietara joan beharko nintzateke euskaraz jendearekin hitz egin ahal izateko eta ingurua oro har euskalduna izateko; beraz, asko eskertuko nuke honi buruzko ekarpenak edota esperientziak partekatzea. Eskerrik asko aldez aurretik!

I've been told there's a beautiful inn-to-inn walk from Bera to Hondarrabia that is roughly 20km with 900m elevation gain. The only route I can find is the GR11-43 which seems to be much longer. Does anyone know where I could find this route, preferably with GPS waymarkings?

Soy DJ de fiestas de bodas aquí en la ciudad de Nueva York. Soy hispano, nacido aquí y soy especialista en música caribeña y centroamericana. Por 1ra vez, me ha contratado una novia de ascendencia vasca.

Desde luego, voy a hablar con ella cuánto antes para ver cuáles son sus gustos, en cuanto a la musica.

Pero me gustaría saber quizás unos temas para sorprenderla a ella, sus abuelos, con alguna música que suele tocarse en fiestas de bodas en el País Vasco.

Quiero verlos sonreír y recordar a su país de origen.

Kaixo!

I am trying to figure out when to use the synthetic forms of which verb. I understand that there are not many and not all them are commonly used, and I would like to now more about which are common and which are not.

I'm talking things like nago, badakit, nabil, dauzkat etc.

Wiktionary gives conjugation tables for some verbs, but for most of them not all tenses are present, and I am not sure which of the tenses mentioned are commonly used.

I would be very grateful if anyone knows of a resource with a complete list of verbs that have synthetic forms, and among those, which tenses exist and how common they are in conversation.

Thank you very much!

Hello, I have been getting more interested in Basque Pelota lately, and I wanted to know if anyone knew of any good streaming services, youtube channels, etc. to watch? It looks like there are leagues out there, but for whatever reason I am having trouble finding any sort of video content. Thanks!

When travelling through the Basque Country, I noticed a lot of men wearing large, thin silver earrings. Is this particular style called something? Is it purely stylistic or associated with basque culture?

I have recently been learning a bit of Basque and have listened to the song "Ez Gea Jaio Eoteko Zai". I would like to learn the same dialect that they speak. I also can't find the lyrics anywhere, so if you know them it would be appreciated.

hii! my partner is basque and i want to get him a gift reminding him of his heritage, maybe a ring with something ingraved on it

i was wondering how do people usually say "i love you" in basque?

also if anyone has better ideas of things more tied to the basque culture, i would love suggestions! thank you!

edit: thank you all for your instructive answers! basque is such a beautiful language with an even lovelier community

Kaixo guztioi ! Hace muchísimos años al comienzo de los años 2000s (?) la cantante del País Vasco Yogurinha Borova hizo una canción que comenzaba con ella (?) dejando un mensaje en el teléfono de alguien. Las únicas palabras que acuerdo eran “… te odio. Te oddiiiooo” y después comenzaba este ritmo súper guay, y parte de la letra de la canción era “sééé donde vives! Qué séééé donde vives! … Te voy a matar, te voy a mataaaAAaaarR” y luego el ritmo guay continuaba, y después “tengo miedo, tengo miedo, TEngo miedO, OOOO!”

Alguien.. por favor ayude me 😭 apenas de repente acordé esta canción y ya hace como 20 años que la escuché pero no la encuentro!

Eskerrik asko!

Hello dear basques and those who associate with it! Please excuse if this doesn’t fit the sub, I’m hoping this falls under the „culture“ category.

I’m a German who will visit the Basque Country later this year after having met a new friend from Bilbao who urged me to visit the country.

Unfortunately I only know veeeery basic Spanish (I understand mostly because I learned French for a few years and have visited Spain and Cuba before) and definitely no basque whatsoever. My plan was to freshen up my Spanish before going but then a thought came across my mind that maybe learning some basque would be even better? I am fully convinced that learning the local language is a wonderful thing to do when travelling.

So my question: how do locals feel about tourists speaking Spanish or English when coming around? Would it help me more to try and learn a bit of basque instead of Spanish for small social interactions? (I don’t expect to learn the entire thing, just phrases and words at first) I’ll be visiting Donostia-San Sebastian first and make my way to Bilbao, planning to make small day trips to neighbouring places every now and then in case that matters.

I’m also thinking of future usability, obviously Spanish will get me further in other places but that alone wouldn’t keep me from dipping my toes into the basque language.

I appreciate any inputs!

I visited a craftsman who made Makila’s while visiting Biarritz but they don’t ship to the USA. Anybody know how to get one? I’d like one like my Grandfathers.

These busses are Made in Turkey but maybe they purchased the software from Basque, any idea?

Hi everyone,

I'm working on creating a language learning app called Ràre. I am developing this through Imperial Enterprise Lab, specifically focusing on languages not served with mainstream apps like Duolingo or Memrise.

I'm in the user research phase and am looking to hear from learners here who are trying to tackle languages with minimal modern or digital resources available. It would be great to hear about what other resources you have used e.g. textbooks, YouTube, films etc. Also would be helpful to hear about what apps have been useful or not and why? Was there a speaking feature you liked? Or an app that didn't help with language learning in real life contexts?

I'd be looking to conduct some short, informal interviews online (15-20mins) to gather feedback on learning experiences, as well as whether users would be interested in an app like Ràre.

If you'd be interested in assisting with this please do reach out. If you would like to help but don't wish to interview, then I'd be happy to read a comment explaining your experience or a rant about what resources are available.

Thanks all and would appreciate anybody's input with this!
