Profiadau wrth geisio dysgu Basgeg. Erthygl Salon.

So I e-mailed my dad, “How’s the Basque going?” Reply from the MIT professor emeritus of linguistics: “F—ing language from hell. This is a waste of my time.”

We gave up. Our running joke was: “Well, we’ll be fine as long as we learn to say, ‘I support your cause. Please do not shoot.’” Really, it’s just a joke — I have no idea how to say that. And I’m thankful it didn’t come up.
