[nabs-l] I would like to begin learning arabic... now what? how does it work for blind people?

[Mauricio Almeida]

hello all,

As i previously said, I am an international relations major, and I
want to focus on arabic studies to work better with arabic speaking
countries.
but in all honesty, I have no idea how a blind person can learn the
language. I have seen aramedia has a possible screen reader, but then
again I have no idea if it actually works.
I have heard braille might be the best alternative, but once again i
have no idea where one would learn arabic braille.
can anyone give me some lights on this matter before i actually begin
studying arabic next semester?

thank you
