Do you want to know how to say Basque words in Spanish, French or English, or vice versa? Do you want to give a friend from somewhere else the gift of a Basque vocabulary from his/her own language? The Hiztegitxoa.eu website allows you to do just that for free, as well as print basic vocabulary from Basque into any of 35 other languages or vice versa. On another note, Kike Amonarriz reports about another website where you can choose a word in English and a European map appears with its translation to each one of the European languages superimposed on the area the language is spoken.

Argentina and the Southern America are in the middle of summer, but as far as Basque goes, there is no break for teachers and students. On the one hand, the summer barnetegi continues (will end this Friday, followed by a new course on Saturday and Sunday) in San Nicolas, in the province of Buenos Aires, with Basque students / teachers from Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina. After the weekend, a “topaketa” (gathering) will take place on Monday at Euskaltzaleak in Buenos Aires, even though this call will be special, since Euskaltzaleak will then receive 2013's ENE award presented to them on December 3rd by Eusko Ikaskuntza-Society of Basque Studies.

The club has carried out many activities throughout the year, and is very satisfied with how 2013 went, according to member Hagio Sho. One of the highlights of the year was the reactivation and renovation of its website that had been inactive since the Fukushima disaster. It has been back up and working since last October, and includes all the club’s news and activities.

The Basque Film Festival in Barcelona, organized by the local Basque club, will jump to the big screen this year, showing films in Girona theaters in the capital city. It is a big risk by the club, who is encouraged by the great reception that previous film festivals have received. Everything is ready for this year’s edition that will take place from February 13-22nd. Nevertheless the Euskal Etxea has begun a support campaign to raise money to help finance this jump through the micro-patronage platform.01/22/2014

Basque-Argentinean, Ainoa Irazusta, resident of Zarautz, who recently participated in the “Ask the Lehendakari” program asked Iñigo Urkullu if he thought that “The Diaspora plays an important role in the defense of Self Determination.” She says, that at the end of taping many asked her, “What did you say? The Dia what?” Ainoa, daughter of a very euskaltzale family from Bahia Blanca confesses that she was very disappointed when she realized that here “in the promised land” few knew about Basques in Argentina. “They don’t know that there is an entire country there immersed in Basque culture. They have no idea,” she laments.
