I am
Unai Nafarrate, I am 23 years old and I come from
Arrasate (Gipuzkoa). To be certain, Arrasate is
located in the county of Gipuzkoa but the dialect
that I speak is the western one (itīs called
mendebaldeko euskara).
I
studied Euskal Filologia in the University of the
Basque Country and before coming here (to Scotland)
I was working as basque teacher in a Euskaltegi, in
Gasteiz. To be honest I like very much teaching
basque, I enjoy it a lot. But my real passion is the
nomalization of the language, and everything that
has something to do with the basques language
behavior and the basque diaspora. The Basque
diaspora is something that Iīve always been
interested in; the history of the basques abroad and
these kind of things.
In the
basque country I dance euskal dantza in the group "Txikitxu-Arrostaitz"
too, in Arrasate, I began as a child (my two sisters
too) and I really enjoy it, I love to dance. Not
only basque dance, I love dancing and I love all
routings. I enjoy watching many diferent kinds and
styles of dance. I find myself that I am quite
active person. I like going to the mountain,
traveling... and currently I am living in Edinburgh
as I said above, working in a restaurant and
learning english. By the way, there are many basque
people here aswell, and we are arranging a basque
weekend for the middle of march. Furher more, we
were talking and working out about a kind of a
basque house here :)
I would
like to go there on summer because as I said before,
I like teaching basque and I am apasioned and really
keen on the basque communities abroad, and would
really like to know USA. In fact, I applied for a
grant of Eusko Jaurlaritza to especialize myself in
how to manage the basque houses and basque
communities abroad. I canīt wait for hearing from
Eusko Jaurlaritza about that, really lookng forward.
I would
really like to know California (either a town as
Chino or a city as San Francisco or whichever), but
to be honest I would be very happy to go anywhere
there and live that experience myself. I donīt know
about the moving days because I donīt know how long
would I be allowed to stay there but I would try to
stay there as long as posible. Maybe from June until
september/october? could it be possible? I donīt
know.
My email
address is this one (

I am Elena Guzón Arrese. I am 27 years old. I was
born in Irun, Gipuzkoa and my mother tongue is
Euskera. I have a degree in Art History from the
University of Basque Country. While studying at the
University, I tought Euskera in Vitoria-Gasteiz. I
am a licenced teacher of Euskera and I teach
different idiomes. This year I am working as a
the geography high school teacher. I would
like go to the USA to improve my English, so I offer
Basque language classes in exchange of
accommodation. I plan to visit between July 1st
and September 1st. I have no particular
preference as to urban or rural settings. I would be
open to just about any living situation. My only
concern is that I am allergic to pets, ej. Dogs,
cats, rabbits...I am a simple person. I like sports
such as going to the mountain and going to beach. I
dont smoke. I like people new places and cultures.

LEARN
BASQUE WITH A BASQUE FAMILY. We are a Basque family from
Busturia in Bizkaia. For many years we have hosted Basque
students from all over the world who have came to our house to
learn Basque. They usually attend the euskaltegi in Gernika in
the mornings. We would like to host a North American person
interested in learning Basque during the year because in the
summer we usually host the students that have a high level of
Basque that are part of the program "Euskal familiekin
egonaldiak"organized by HABE. We are musicians and play
actors. Ama Rosa is a teacher of Basque language. The aita Doro
is a musician and actor and he used to teach Basque too. The two
daughters are Andere (actress) and Maialen (musician). We have a
dog and we love people from all over the world. We can negotiate
the price of the stay. In order to get in touch with us write
us an email to:
