Learn to speak Basque out loud

Most Basque courses stop at recognising words. In 4ToSpeak every Basque sentence ends with you saying it, so the skill you build is the one a real conversation asks for.

How it works

Four steps for every Basque sentence

One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Basque out loud.

  1. Step 1

    Order

    See a Basque sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.

  2. Step 2

    Translate

    See the English and build the sentence in Basque, word by word.

  3. Step 3

    Listen

    Hear the sentence spoken in Basque, then type what you understood.

  4. Step 4

    Speak

    Say it out loud in Basque and see which words landed and which to try again.

Speaking Basque

Why speak Basque from day one

The sounds, rhythm and word order of Basque stick when you produce them, not when you recognise them. Each sentence you say out loud gets you closer to the way a real Basque speaker talks, and the speaking step shows you which words you landed.

Basque questions, answered

Can I learn Basque for free with 4ToSpeak?

Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).

How does 4ToSpeak teach Basque speaking?

Every Basque sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.

Do I need a microphone to practise Basque?

Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.

Do I need to know any Basque already?

No. Lessons start from short everyday Basque sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.

What script does Basque use?

Basque is written in the Latin alphabet, so you can start reading it straight away. The speaking steps cover the sounds that differ from English.
