Learning Basque

Xabier Gereño’s timeless classic for studying the Basque language has been reviewed by the folks at Audio Forum, famous for their self-study courses. The course was originally created for Spanish speakers, but it was translated into English and includes brief grammatical explanations.

Part I provides vocabulary, basic sentences, and some grammar in 40 lessons. Part II presents verb organizations and declensions used in the lessons.

This book will be of special interest to those whose families hail from Bizkaia, for Audio Forum tells us, “the course is in the dialect of Bilbao.” Learning Basque comes with two (2) cassettes for learning pronunciation, a total of 2 1/4 hours of the spoken language. The book is 176 pages. The price: $39.50. Order number SBA001. (Add $5.00 shipping.) Available from:
Audio Forum, Suite LA9OA
