Very interesting channel Anne Marie :) I'm myself half basque & half kabardian, born in Uruguay and now living in Scandinavia, wish you to enjoy your time in the motherland.

Hi Ann Marie, I’ve been away from Hella Basque for the last several months so it was a surprise to hear that you were on a sabbatical from the channel. I’m glad your dream of being in the Basque Country, learning Euskara, has come true. I’ll jump on Instagram to follow your adventures.

Barnetegi!!! You are going to have SO MUCH FUN, I have always been jealous of barnetegi experience, but it is my mother language so I don’t qualify 😅

lol same! I'll be spending a month in Bilbo / Bilbao and exploring smaller towns around there. Although I won't be doing a language school, that sounds like a great experience :)

I love your channel Anne Marie. You and I might be cousins. My Grandfather was from a village called Banca on the french side in the Pyrenees. He was a shepherd who moved to California as a young man and eventually bought land in New Mexico where he became the father of my mother. Jean Iriart was his name. I myself and French Spanish and Basque. So in some ways I am my own worst enemy. Love your channel. Can't wait to see your trip. Mom is a fan as well. I told her to subscribe. Your father reminds her of her own.

Glad to see your back !!

I am so excited for you!!!

Yay, eat some great food for me! I cannot wait to visit some day. Such beautiful people and food it seems. Great channel here.

Cool! Very happy for you! I have Basque on my father's side. Can't wait to visit the Basque country someday too. Enjoy your visit!!

Awesome news! Please take care and have fun!

So happy for you - what a conquest! You will do GREAT!!

Best of luck. Sure you'll have a great time and, at the same time, you'll manage to improve your basque skills. Ondo pasa!!

Visit the technological schools, the cluster of innovative industries that represent the mentality of the basque entrepreneurs.. Visit CAF, AMPO, IRIZAR, and MCC. Please discover as well the museums about the origin of the industrialization.

@Alazar Wanderer Literally... "Ardo gaztea", but people of my area asks for "urteko ardoa", wine of the year when they want young wine.

Tell us all of your adventures. 🙂

Hi Anne Marie , do you know how much influence does Basque have in gypsy culture in Spain ? Thank you

Bon voyage. So how did you choose these 2 schools over others? Reputation, recommendation, or invitation?

Wish it was that deep! Literally it was just what fit into my schedule and which programs had beginners classes during that time.

I have a question: does it make sense to attend one of these enrollment programs, if you dont know any basque. (or just a tiny bit?)

It does. You learn a lot there, even if you don't know that much at first!

From the people I’ve talked to who have done it, they say it’s definitely worth it! Super hard when you don’t understand much but they said they learned a lot in a very short time.

kaixo anne,donibane garazi inguruan nabil,ea ezagutzeko aukera dugun.....ikusi arte.....

Ondo pasa!

How is Covid in Basque Country? How has it been hit? Does them having RH- blood type make Covid less severe? Since the new theory is rh- blood makes people resistant to Covid

I feel the need of visiting Euskadi but im afraid of discrimination coz my color is asian. Lol

My favourite Basque pop band is The Basque Street Boys! Hahahaha.......ok ill let myself out...

I did some further digging and my grandparents said their great grandparents were from the Eastern Pyrenese from eastern val de arran. sadly we only speak spanish now. i hope one day to visit spain and that area. good luck sounds like so much fun.
