Cultural Post 5

[Maddie Philips]

Although I already did a brief description of this in a previous learning journal, I think that I'm going to do my Culture Project on Basque surnames, because it is a concept deeply ingrained into Basque culture, and it helps show off the language in a very simple way as well. My learning goals are to learn some basic suffixes and stems that are commonly used in Basque surnames in order to better understand the language in general, and also be able to make the connection to Basque surnames I might encounter. I want to be able to invent surnames as know what they mean, because I think it can be useful for using the Basque language in general.
