[nabs-l] foreign language

Sun Mar 14 00:22:25 UTC 2010

I know both Spanish anf English. I use braille for both. Since Spanish
is a very comman language, it is easy for me to get books in Spanish
Braille. It is even easier than English Braille. As for my Japanese, I
have yet to find good books in Japanese Braille. I am just learning
the language through online pages with English Braille until I can
find some books and sources in Japanese.
