Wow, I'm not sure what your native language is, but I gather most native speakers of Indo-European languages find Basque to be quite a challenge, just because of how different the grammar is.

I really admire the effort you made, understanding how hard you must have had to focus. I speak other languages besides my native English, and I know how challenging it is (and that's an understatement!) to really master another language.

Thanks for sharing this inspiring story!
