Such a fun way to celebrate! I’d love to know more about your journey with the language in this little town and the interactions with everyone now a year later.
All of it is really sweet! The town we live in has a population of 6,000 and the village we were married in has a population of 1,000. The main language is French, a smaller percentage also speaks Basque, and a teeny, tiny portion only speaks Basque.
I can navigate the French part with zero issue, but I only know a few words in Basque! Every time someone tells me the Basque word for something, my brain definitely glitches. It's something I want to work toward accomplishing, though!
This is such a beautiful peek into your wedding! It was so special to finally meet you and experience a bit of Basque Country life! Looking forward to another indulgent catch up soon xx

I wrote a little bit about my experience living here in this post: kelseyyrose.substack.com/p/living-in-a-french-village
