We are still receiving videos of activities at Basque clubs for Euskera Day, and we have to say that this year they are superior in both quality and originality. Here we highlight two of them: first from the Valentziako Euskaltzaleok where members took to the streets to encourage people there to jump into Basque (a brillian idea and easy to carry out); the second, form the Euskaltzaleak from Buenos Aires with a humoristic twist to learning nor-nori-nork with music.
