## What is Ikasi & Go?

Kaixo! Ikasi & Go teaches Euskara, the Basque language, directly from English: fast, beautiful, and rich with the culture behind every word. Whether your grandparents spoke it at the dinner table or you are starting from absolute zero, this is Basque built for the way you actually live and learn.

DESIGNED FOR RIGHT NOW
A clean, joyful interface with satisfying haptics, playful animations, and sessions sized for real life. No clutter and no ads. Open it, learn a few words, get on with your day. Works fully offline.

THE CULTURE IS BUILT IN
Every one of our 941 words and phrases carries its story: the etymology, the history, the way people actually use it. Learn etxea (house) and discover why Basque families so often took their surnames from the house itself. Learn sagardoa (cider) and meet the sagardotegi tradition. You are not memorizing a list. You are meeting a culture.

REVIEW THAT RESPECTS YOUR LIFE
Spaced repetition brings each word back right before you would forget it. Streaks are built to forgive: miss a day and yours survives, and a streak freeze covers the day life takes over. Your words wait for you, with a daily goal that fits your life.

A GUIDED PATH, A1 TO B2
Ikasbidea takes you from your first hello to real sentences: 50 lessons in 15 chapters, each one opening the next. Around it, 941 words organized by CEFR level across 17 topics: greetings, food and drink, family, home, city, animals, nature, emotions, culture, and more. Quizzes with multiple choice, typing, and fill-in-the-blank. Six games, including the Basque Kitchen, where you cook 28 classic dishes by learning their ingredients. Short stories to read your first Basque.

EVERY WORD VERIFIED
The vocabulary is checked against Xuxen, the official Basque spellchecker built on the Basque Language Academy's standards, and every example sentence is reviewed for real, grammatical Euskara. Pronunciation guides use plain English respelling: kaixo (KAI-sho), eskerrik asko (es-KER-ik AS-ko).

FREE TO START, YOURS FOREVER
All 17 topics are free at the beginner level, along with the first 19 lessons, with quizzes, spaced repetition, and daily goals included. One single purchase unlocks everything: all levels A1 to B2, every topic, every game, the full lesson path, and all future vocabulary updates. No subscription. No recurring charges.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account required. No sign-up. No tracking. Your learning progress lives on your device, not on our servers.

Euskara is one of the oldest living languages in Europe and the only one with no known relatives. It survived empires. It deserves fifteen minutes of your day.

Hasi gaur. Start today.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-15

Kaixo!

TWELVE MORE LESSONS
The path now runs to 50 lessons. The new ones fill in the level just past the free tier: reading a menu, sweets and snacks, the road, tickets and papers, the body, being ill, trees and the coast, weather and wild animals, around the house, wider family, and keeping a conversation going.

NEVER SCROLL TO FIND YOUR PLACE AGAIN
The lesson path now opens with a Continue card that takes you straight to the lesson you are on, and marks it in the list so you can spot it.

A CLEARER HOME SCREEN
Your daily goal now says what it counts. The seven day free trial is visible instead of hidden away, and it still needs no card and ends on its own.

FIXES
Two free lessons were teaching words that then disappeared from your word list. One word was taught twice. A quiz could offer two answers that were both right and mark one of them wrong. All fixed.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-08

Kaixo!

YOUR PROGRESS IS SAFER
Streaks, word memory and finished lessons are now stored where iOS keeps them properly, instead of somewhere the system could clear when your phone runs low on space.

TWELVE NEW LESSONS, FOUR NEW CHAPTERS
The path now runs to 38 lessons. Saying it yourself: the days of the week, the verbs you will actually use, and the small words that join your thoughts. Where you come from: the family line, leaving and returning, and the language itself. The world around you: the Basque kitchen, the land and the coast, and how you feel. Words that carry weight: society, the harder feelings, and the living world.

SIX NEW STORIES
At the Sea, At the Farmhouse, Olentzero, My Family, Where Are You From?, and The Letter, which follows the Basque shepherds who left for the American West.

ALL TWELVE MONTHS
The months lesson was quietly teaching ten. October and December are now where they belong.

Stories can now reach you without an app update, the way your vocabulary already does.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-05

Kaixo!

THE LESSON PATH NOW HAS CHAPTERS
Ikasbidea is grouped into six chapters, so you can see the shape of the whole course and how far you have come, instead of one long list.

SEVEN NEW LESSONS
At Home, Animals, Places in Town, Counting Past Twenty, The Four Seasons, People and Nation, and Opposites. Lesson 20 and everything after it is part of the Lifetime Unlock.

SMOOTHER QUIZZES
A wrong answer no longer makes the screen jump. Feedback now appears below the options instead of shifting them, and Reduce Motion is respected. Multiple choice options no longer give the answer away by their punctuation.

ALSO
The LIFETIME badge on the purchase screen is no longer clipped, and cultural notes were refreshed for several words including etxea and lauburua.

Your vocabulary still updates on its own, so new words and corrections reach you without waiting for an app update.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-22
