Europe and languages

Last thursday we went to Bilbo to talk about Europe and languages! There were four speakers and one of them didn't know Euskera...but he knew 11 languages! He said to us to learn languages when he was the only basque that didn't know euskera but knew 11 languages... I felt upset with him! A basque writer, Artze, said this: "Hizkuntza bat ez da galtzen ez dakitenek ikasten ez dutelako, dakitenek hitz egiten ez dutelako baizik."
