Registration in the Euskaltegis begins with the premiere of 'Euskara Bono'

The registration campaign in the Euskaltegis started this Thursday and the main novelty is the 'Euskera Bonus', a mechanism that reduces the cost of tuition and the bureaucracy involved in the procedures for applying for aid, as well as offering flexibility to students.

Thanks to the bonus, those who start learning Basque will have to make a one-time payment of 120 euros and have a period of four years to move from the initial level to B1. On the other hand, those who have started studying in previous courses will gradually make the transition to the new system.

The Minister for Culture and Linguistic Policy of the Basque Government, Ibone Bengoetxea, who participated in the campaign presentation in Vitoria-Gasteiz, stressed that the 'Euskera Bonus' facilitates access, promotes continuity and seeks to make more and more citizens' independent users of the Basque language '.

This initiative is part of the Basque Government's strategy to expand the knowledge of the Basque Country, which, between 2022 and 2026, has allocated EUR 25.1 million to different lines of aid, from which 43,500 people have benefited.

Humorous messages

In the last three years, 100,000 people have passed through the Euskaltegis, and now the challenge is not only for more and more people to start learning this language, but also to move forward in the process and acquire the ability to use it in everyday life.

The new enrollment campaign encourages you to take the step from the mood through messages like, "The first interview you're going to do in Basque is going to be regular. As every first time," "Spoiler: nobody started telling you," "Hello can open many doors," or "The most special language in the world, we teach it the easiest way."
