Review that forgives.

For centuries the etxea was the basic unit of Basque law and life. Surnames came from the house, and the house was named for the land.

Whether your grandparents spoke Euskara at the dinner table or you are starting from absolute zero, Basque should be within reach in the language you already speak.
