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

[christopher nusbaum]

Braille would probably be the best way to go for this. As far as
learning Arabic braille, I don't know any of it, so I can't tell you
any of the symbols. However, I believe Hadley has a course on Arabic
braille. Check out www.Hadley.edu.
Hope this helps,
Chris
