Hello, my name’s Aizpea Goenaga,
I’m the Head of the Basque Institute “Etxepare”.
I’m contacting you from our headquarters, in San Sebastian.
Although many of you will surely be far from here,
let me say that this is also your home.
We would like to spread the Basque language and our culture throughout theentire world,
and to also let it be known, that we attempt to make our language more worldwide.
Not only that but we also want to make the world more Basque-like.
To achieve this dream,
we have put in place a bit of an unconventional campaign.
“Euskara Mundiala”.
This also includes a website, available at the following address:
www.euskaramundiala.net
Please feel free to enter the site
and record yourselves speaking in Basque.
Simply record and upload your piece.
We want everybody to be Basque, that’s right,
I mean everybody speaking in Basque.
Please send this on to all your friends and people you know,
and please, ask them to speak in Basque too.
On the site you’ll find words, tongue-twisters, jokes, everything.
And that way you can listen to them before you record your own.
Hello, my name’s Aizpea Goenaga, I’m the Head of the Basque Institute “Etxepare”.
Just logon to the web and simply press record, then upload.
It takes no longer than two minutes, at most.
This way the world will be more Basque-like.
We even want to reach out to those remote places/areas
where Basque is not even known or ever been heard of,
that’s our challenge.
We ask ALL of you, our new ambassadors, only for a small favour:
Visit the site, record a word, a sentence or whatever you like, even a song.
It doesn’t matter…
just tell all your friends and all the people you know, to do the same.
You are the driving force behind this campaign.
I’m very grateful, thank you.
