[Electronics-talk] email, highlighting, and languages

[George]

Anna,

If you know Braille, I think using Braille would be the easiest or most 
comfortable way for you to learn Spanish. Of course you can also use 
your pc and your iPhone, but you'll have to change the language of your 
speech synthesizer from English to Spanish and vice-versa and this is 
very annoying.
I don't use Braille displays, but I assume you may have to change 
Braille tables, too, because of the Spanish special characters (accent 
marks, etc).

Personally, I don't like Braille, but I think that this is the best 
choice to learn Spanish now if you can get the necessary materials in 
Braille.
Here is a Spanish dictionary on the web that might help you a lot if you 
are patient enough to use Spanish and English with voice synthesizers.

Good luck!
