[nabs-l] Fwd: [BANA-Announce]BrailleFormatsImplementationDateRelease

Sat May 26 02:07:29 UTC 2012

Hey Brandon,

You know, I studied in the states for a year before, then moved to 
Stockholm. Well, I don't think I speak better than natives, but certainly 
have the possibility to communicate without any barriers. I am just trying 
to figure out this crazy SAT test that I wanted to try for many years.

Regards,
Crystal
