Hello, I'm coming to travel between San-Sebastian and Bilbao, I speak Basque at B1 level(according to them https://www.zornotzakobarnetegia.eus/en/free-basque-level-test-online), but no Spanish at all(hyper interest in history, then particularly in Basque culture since they are isolated AF brought me to that point).

Wouldn't it create situations when I'm frowned upon? AI mentions no, but I don't know if that's believable as AI talks about it with such passion that it creates trust issues lol...

Is it better to totally hide the idea of trying to using it there and use English instead?

Thank you!

EDIT: I speak only Batua, can it create some attitude of why this foreigner using "fake"(not natural, not man-made) basque?
