{"product_id":"beginners-basque-with-online-audio-wim-jansen-9780781813785","title":"Beginner's Basque with Online Audio","description":"Basque is a language spoken in Europe's Basque country, a region in the western Pyrenees that includes parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. Basque is considered to be a language isolate, or one that has no genealogical relationship with other languages. There are over 700,000 native speakers in Basque country and nearly 2 million non-native or \"passive\" speakers worldwide. Because it is unrelated to other languages and has a complex grammar system, it has been deemed the hardest language in the world to learn. Scholars, polyglots and anyone interested in studying a linguistic mystery have enthusiastically taken on the challenge of learning Basque. Ideal for those new to Basque, learning at home or in the classroom, Beginner's Basque with Online Audio includes a brief introduction to Basque history and culture; 12 carefully-paced and practical lessons with dialogues, vocabulary, and expressions; exercises for each lesson with answer key; Basque-English and English-Basque glossaries; an alphabet and pronunciation guide; and online MP3 audio files for free download featuring pronunciation by native speakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wim Jansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0781813786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780781813785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hippocrene Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Wim Jansen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988249247999,"sku":"9780781813785","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b4701c1-f617-4d48-9358-37fa1973d2d9.jpg?v=1683293461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beginners-basque-with-online-audio-wim-jansen-9780781813785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
