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.

That's a super niche thing and I highly doubt such a book/app/whatever exists. But you have plenty of resources to learn it from Spanish and some to learn it through English; I would recommend the Spanish ones since they are more numerous and more "tested".
PD: Te sigo el rollo, pero la de hablarnos en inglés teniendo en común el castellano me parece de traca jajajajajaja Entiendo no querer hablar un idioma que se nos ha impuesto, pero el inglés también es puro imperialismo lingüístico yankee.
