Autumn and Spring Basque courses (face-to-face/online)
The aim of this course is, not only that you can begin learning our language, Basque, but also to let you know our culture through the face-to-face classes and the activities that will be held outside the classroom. We want you to be able to communicate in Basque in everyday situations and, at the same time, know us better taking a closer look at the traditions, gastronomy, culture and mythology of what will be your house the following months.
