For the Basque #87: have you heard these Basque songs about winter?


Ongi Etorri, Welcome to the For the Basque Weekly!

ohhhh last week...

I was wrapping up school before the holidays, teaching the last NABO Basque class of 2025 and started the Abenduko Erronka - the December Challenge in Basque Skool.

And somewhere in all of that I forgot to invite you to join us for the challenge. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ Oops. Time got away from me.

Yesterday was the start of the winter solstice here in the northern hemisphere. In our Day 6 lesson, we looked at the Basque seasons and the months that belong to each one. Since we've officially stepped into negua, I wanted to share the two winter songs I chose for our listening practice.

Here is your plan for the week: Put one of these songs on the next time you review your Basque notes or practice a phrase. Let winter settle in. Listening is one of the easiest ways to stay connected when life is full & you can't sit down to review vocab, grammar, etc.

And if you want to join us for the Abenduko Erronka in Basque Skool, it's not too late. You can join us right here!​

I am prepping Day 7 later today: after I hit send here and after my walk. πŸ˜„ You can start at Day 1 whenever you join. ​

Oh bai. Oh yes.

Small action. One day at a time. That is how Basque grows in your life.
​

And since officially, I'm on Christmas break = Eguberriko oporretan, my nieces and I got busy on decorating our annual gingerbread houses. What have you been up to in this time right before the holidays?

​
πŸŽ„ And if I don't talk to you before Eguberri-eguna = Christmas Day, have a blessed Eguberriak = Christmas season surrounded by family and friends!

πŸ‘‹πŸΌ Egon bizkor,
