SoSe 19: Baskisch 2 (Euskara A1.2)
Amaia Orbe Barrio
Comments
This course is a continuation of the introductory course Baskisch 1 in order to complete the level A1 in Basque language, Euskara. This course is offered every Sommersemester.
The aim of the course is to get to know better the grammar of this isolated language and to review, deepen, and enlarge the basic language skills in Basque (useful in daily life, at work, family, health, nature, hobbies, art…). The course will focus on the systematic acquisition of the syntactic and morphological structures of the language, which support the development of language skills in self-study. At the end of the course, the students will be able to communicate in basic ways with Basque speakers, and will develop a better understanding of the structure of the language.
The Basque language attracts the attention of linguists because it is said to be one of the oldest languages in Europe and the only surviving pre-Indo-European language in Western Europe. The origin of the Basque language is still unclear and often myths and false assumptions have been created on this subject. Today, Euskara is present on the internet, at university, in literature... It is a very lively language, although it lives in a situation of diglossia, and the coexistence of languages (Basque, Spanish and French) and various social factors sometimes cause conflict. It has 800,000 speakers in northern Spain and southern France, and a hard-to-predict number of diaspora speakers (especially in the US, Paris and several Latin American cities).
Keep the journey to the wonderful language of the Basque country, full of enigmas, strong and peculiar customs that will be discovered through very dynamic activities, such as interactive presentations, brief dialogues, games, songs…
These courses are organised in cooperation with the Basque Language and Culture Institute Instituto Etxepare and every year students from the Institute´s international network of universities will have the chance to apply for scholarships to study Euskara in summer at the Basque Country.
