Donostia-San Sebastian.   For many men and women learning Basque in the Diaspora is one of their dreams or more personal goals, a link to their origins and their identity as a Basque.  Nevertheless, you have to admit learning Basque thousands of miles from the Basque Country is not easy.

Even so, at the heart of Basque communities every day more and more try, encouraged by the closeness and facility provided them by Basque clubs who teach language classes.  There, besides being surrounded by euskaltzales, students get together and share their desire to learn and their excitement.

Today they are starting, or have started in some cases, Basque classes in North American Basque clubs and in the Caribbean, but anyone wishing to join in is still on time.
