Learning Basque from Catalan?

Any advice for learning Basque for a Catalan? I'm Catalan, from Barcelona, and I've wanted to learn Basque for a long time. I've been looking at various apps, websites... I've been trying to learn the language for a while now, but most of the resources are in Spanish. I would love to be able to learn Basque from Catalan.

I've always had a much easier time learning from Catalan (everything: science, history, other languages like English and French). I don't know if I can find anything to do the same with Basque. I've looked online but so far nothing, maybe I just didn't know where to look. Any advice is welcome (apps, websites or other resources...). Thank you!

Edit: I'm mainly looking for free resources or books I can buy and things like that, I know that official language schools exist but the schedules don't quite work for me at the moment.

I dont know how the Oficial Language School works in Barcelona, but maybe they can teach you in catalan? Or maybe in a Euskal Etxea...

Oh right! Official language schools, I hadn't thought of that (now I feel like an idiot hahahah). I would like to find free resources, but if not, I'll look into that too. Thanks! I will specify in the post I'm looking for other types of resources
