As I see it, BOGA is "a" useful tool for us in the teaching of Euskara in our communities but it is not "the" only tool.  One way to supplement our NABO effort to promote Euskara is with our own version of a Barnetegia. 

There is no one way to learn a language, especially Euskara the way we are hoping, because of the many variables that arise; e.g., can't make it to class, busy with work, etc.  So our NABO effort needs to look for ways to supplement BOGA with other alternatives.  So in addition to further developing our BOGA program, an alternative/supplement that I'm exploring is the possibility of creating a Barnetegi concept.  Barnetegi is an intensive Basque langauge learning program.  While long established in the Basque country, we need to explore the possibility of creating a version of that here.

An option we need to develop is a "fluency-fast" model.  Accordingly I am exploring a teaching technique known as TPRS that makes the promise of "learn a language in a week." [see http://www.fluencyfast.com/ ]  Now I'm not expecting a miracle, but I purchased the instructional DVDs to to look into this method which some people have praised. 

If this proves beneficial, we might well have the key to a barnetegi model for us.  A person or two could travel to various communities on put on this four-day intensive workshop.  The advantages would include:
> A quick boost in getting started learning Euskara
> A way to put enthusiasm into local learning classes
> Serve as a way of recruiting more students in our classes
