He first studied the language in a Jesuit school: from this time on he enjoyed a long friendship with a Jesuit priest, even though he didn't consider himself Catholic, at least that's what I think. Once, when I was at that house, I met the priest. After those initial studies at the Jesuit school he finished up his bachelor's degree at the University of Amsterdam and completed some further doctoral studies, equivalent to a master's. Although we know him here as a linguist and Bascologist, all of those studies were linked to mathematics, astronomy and physics, yet when he did his "Doctoraalexamen", he also touched on general linguistics.
