[nabs-l] learning Russian

[Tatyana]

Hi Nijat,
I'm Russian living in the states and I use both English and Russian on my 
computer. I use Russian speech synthesizer and for Russian web sites I need 
to swich it on manualy and Jaws doesn't  swich on Russian automaticaly.
Russian Braille is easy to learn it's similar to English. Russian  books 
generally don't use contracted Braille so you really don't need learning 
Russian contractions.
I can help you with your questions and learning Russian. Write on my address
tagrig at verizon.net

Tatyana.
