[nabs-l] Studying Foreign languages

[Josh Gregory]

I myself took Spanish in high school, and used a braillenote notetaker. I, like Sophie, use the Spanish option in the utilities menu. I find that I was mainly able to pick up the lecture through both braille and the spoken lessons.

> Darian, I currently take french II. I'm a sophmore in high school. Braille is the best way to learn a foreign language. That way, you can learn what the different accents feel like. I use a braillenote for the class, which I find very easy because it has a french option built-in to the utilities menu. Is this the first language class you've ever taken? Because if so, they should teach you the rules of grammar in the class itself.
