Kaixo, lagunok! 7 egunetan mordo bat euskaraz ikasi duzue, zorionak! I was so excited to see your first tool to learn survival Basque was the Intrepid Guide's 99 phrase, as I wrote them and recorded them myself for Michelle Frola, the site's owner. I'm a Colombian Bascologist with Basque ancestry (C1 in Basque). Galdera bat: euskara ikasten jarraitu ote zenuten? Zein mailatara iritsi zarete? Besarkada bat Kolonbiatik eta eutsi beti goiari!

You have learned more euskara in 7 days than some people who live here all their life. Congrats! You two are great. Zorionak eta mila esker gure hizkuntza ikasi daitekeela frogatzeagatik. 💝

That's entirely true. Some people from Extremadura or Andalusia living here since 1960 won't even try it. Mila esker Agur!

It is very much appreciated the interest you have shown!! Zorionak eta eskerrik asko!

Congratulations!! And thank you for your effort 👏👏 you are more than welcome to come back to the basque country. If you have learned so much in just seven days😱 I can’t imagine what you can learn if you spend a month here… well done guys! Eskerrik asko eta laster arte!

Zorionak bideo ederra egin duzue! Nire neskalaguna italiarra ta bi urte daramatza euskara ikasten eta oso zaila egiten ari zaio. Bideoa erakutziko diot zuen energia isladatzeko. Eskerrik asko!!

Kaixo! I enjoyed my time working for a company near Loyola. Spent a whole summer there. Quickly learned, "Beste bat/bi." As an Asian American dude saying egun on, eskerrik asko, iz horriegotik, and other small greetings/gestures, the joy/pleasure from the locals was just priceless, and I feel like they saw me more then just someone visiting.

Zorionak!!! Well done and thank you for making Basque a more visible language 😊.

Astonished. Good job and great respecto for our language, culture and land. Mika esker eta jarraitu ikasten!

Among the most difficult things when learning Basque are the conjugation (especially NOR-NORI and NOR-NORI-NORK, most of my non-native friends have a hard time with this), and the dialects. As a northerner, some southern accents and sub-dialects are quite tricky to understand, even though I'm native speaker

So impressed, guys! Thank you !!!

Another great video lads! Very informative, especially as I never knew about this language! The video also reminded me of some of the best elements of travelling, like meeting up with a variety of new people quickly in different settings, and often randomly!! Top effort on learning the language as well - impressive effort for seven days. You're both clearly very good linguists! Nice touch at the end too, making the point on just how hard it is to learn a language, appreciated that! 😀

This is such a good video - interesting topic, well shot and edited, perfectly paced. I'm surprised it's not on a view count ten times what it actually is. Well done fellas

Wow, one of your best videos so far guys. Really impressive, what lovely people. I felt I was there with you. Keep these videos coming, they are so interesting. Enjoyed the comedy of Ollie being constantly eating when he should be talking 😀

The end got me surpised haha It proves to me that the other people who claim to "learn" a language in only "7 days" are liars, or most of them Others even want to achieve fluency in that short period of time, others select languages that they already know properly, others learn for a month or more but it was "7 days" (cutting parts in their videos and changing date on their devices), even I found a Mexican guy who was learning Spanish in 7 days but lol, every time he spoke in English, he had a Spanish-native speaker accent from Mexico and no, I'm not exagerating, my native language is Spanish and I know overly well how people sound when they speak English :/ Tho, you learned more than one could do in a week, you were vey honest with it You guys are such an inspiration for me, I really like your content btw :D

All Mexicans Don't speak Spanish; he might have had an accent because his native language is an indigenous language. I know families who speak an indigenous language in their homes, and not Spanish.

I really enjoyed your video, guys! It is incredible what you have achieved in only seven days. I am Catalan and currently studying Basque. Badakit euskara oso hizkuntza zaila da baina egia esan hizkuntzak maite ditut eta arrisku handiak ere bai.

Amazing, it just goes to show that if someone really puts themselves into learning something it can be done, great content again and inspiring.

Mila esker, Ollie and Sebastian!

Good job boys! the best way to learn a language is to practice, comunicate and not have same. Txalo handi bat zuentzat, lan ederra egin duzue. Since I was very young I wanted to learn English, finally with more than fifty I did it. Egunero landu behar da. 👏👏👏

I was very pleasantly surprised by your progress in such a small amount of time, from someone who has been speaking Basque all my life I invite anyone who is interested to give it a try, there are many people here ready teach whoever they can

Dut and so on is the helper of the verb. It means the time and subject of it. As they told you we have names and the final of it will tell you what we're talking about. Laguna means friend, lagunarekin means with the friend, lagunarengana means up to the friend, lagunarekin means due to the friend, and so on.

The video is excellent, BUT starts with a Flamenco dancer which is typical from Spain (or the rest of Spain), concretely from Andalusia, almost 700 kms away from there...

I've known about the existence of Basque language and location..... But never in my deepest thoughts I've says it was extremely difficult to study because it is not related to any other language known..... It is horrific 😐 I've learned Italian from Romanian ( both Latin) in 3 weeks and perfextiones accent in 2 months.... But holy shit this is too much

There is a vague resemblance to gaelic, albanian and to armenian ,but only barely so.

Regardless the age of the language, I like Basks and their country. I couldn't believe that during Franco's dictatorship this beautiful language was forbidden!

Jajaj mutiko ea ulertzen dozun hauxe 😂😂

Methinks, they had to have migrated from legendary ATLANTIS, as recorded by Solon, when visiting ancient Egypt and Plato, in his Dialogues! Something WARNED these Proto-Basques to very-hurriedly get out of there, before it sank below the ocean waves! But who knows? Maybe these very Atlanteans thought these proto-Basques as SO UNLIKE Them as well!

Spanish was born in La Rioja derived from vulgar Latin written and spoken by Basques. That`s why Castilian or Spanish and Basque share the same phonetics. Hence Spanish has Basque origins. Furthermore there is theory, albeit debated, that old Iberian was Basque or close to Basque.

I m curious if a Turkish, Japanese, Nahuatl, Quechua, or Georgian speaker went there to learn Basque, how much easier would it be for there.

I wonder; if we don't know the origin and the age of a language, how we know that is the oldest in Europe? In the other hand, we have found Greek writings from 21st century BC (till today at least) hence we assume is much older.

@velouris76

Think it is based on several things: there are various theories as to the origin of the Basques, but the one most commonly held today is that they are direct descendants of the indigenous people of Europe, before the Indo-European migrations…so well before Ancient Greek (which is Indo-European) one pointer is that the words for certain basic tools all have the same root for the word for stone (which I think is “Aitz” in Basque)..that strongly points towards the fact those words originated when stone was the main material used for making these tools (i.e. the Stone Age, as opposed to bronze, iron etc). You say that there are Greek writings from 21st century BC, that cannot be correct, Greek is definitely in the Indo-European language family, and the Indo-European migrations were known to have happened between 6000 to 3000 BC….with these migrations, the Indo-European languages evolved…
