[nabs-l] Learning Japanese

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Beth,

I took nihongo (Japanese language) for 3 years in high school. During 
that time, I acquired a certain wherewithal, with nihongo tenji 
(Japanese braille code) you convert all kanjis into 
hiragana/katakana, characters you know with your a, i, u, e o, 
syllables. If you contact me i can give you specifics... Nihongo 
tenji, is actually easier than you think. 408-209-3239 
carlymih at comcast.net ight be able to see something about the Japanese 
Braille because she has learned Japanese and teaches Japanese 
students English.  She has beeen a friend of mine since midle school, 
and I've watched her progress in Japan, and it's awesome.
