Yes, the Basque language can be difficult to learn.

Specifically, there are seven main provinces where Basque is spoken: three in southwestern France and four in northwestern Spain. Each province has its own form of Basque. There also is an evolving standard Basque (Batua, "unified") which may overlap with one dialect and not with another and which may respect - or not - other attempted standards.

But all Basque adheres to some rules which many language speakers and students are unaccustomed to meeting. One of the most daunting challenges can be incorporating all the influxes, prefixes and suffixes which go in the middle, at the beginning and at the end of words. Another can be moving through the multitude of cases in which a noun can be declined. Still another can be sorting through the many moods in which a verb can be conjugated.

On the other hand, Basque includes loan words from English, French and Spanish. It is easy to pronounce. Its speakers live in areas where the language can be heard and practiced while appreciating beautiful scenery and finding interesting places to go, people to meet and things to do.

Yes, the Basque language is considered difficult. It is an isolate language, meaning it does not belong to any known language family and has no close relatives. This makes it challenging for speakers of other languages to learn due to its unique grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
