Working hard here, mum!

Each Tuesday we get educated about the ins and outs of the Basque Country, this also includes ten minutes of Euskera(Basque). It's quite interresting realy, and if people hear that you bother to speak some words they appreciate it a lot! Oke, we're absolutely unable to have a conversation but I can say ‘kaitxo, zer moduz?’, order ’sagardo bat’ in a bar and some more basic stuff.. Maybe I should do more Euskera classes, but I'm unsure if I'll ever use it after I leave the country, that's why I'm studying some Spanish here in town.

Spanish might help me out just a bit more in the future and is A LOT easier to learn. As I was saying, I went to my language school in Arrasate to see if I hadn’t missed out on too much, and if I could still know what they were talking about. But what happened? My professor appeared to be sick at home.. Bummer! I was kind of looking forward to get started again, and I didn’t feel like waiting for him to get better.

The guy who told me though, happened to be the teacher for the higher level class (I started at level one, cause I hadn’t ever had Spanish lessons). He told me that I could have a trie in the second level class if i wanted.

And it was brilliant! The level was higher than in my other class, but in the end I went home with a more satisfied feeling than before..
