Zergatik ikasi euskara?

Picture
Boise’s event took place in the Basque Block downtown. It started out at Leku-Ona and then moved to the Basque Museum, where the kids watched the Olentzero movie while the adults were mingling over a couple of drinks. There was food and  music performed by local triki trixa(accordion) and pandereta (tambourine) group Txantxangorriak. Then John Bieter, History Associate Professor at BSU, explained why it is important to learn Basque. I was going to put what I took from his speech into my own words, but then I thought you’d probably enjoy it better if you watched it yourselves. I have no doubt you’ll be signing up for classes at the Museum before you even finish watching the whole thing!
