>> 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.

I took Spanish 1 for two years in 8th grade and 9th grade, and I also took Spanish 2 my sophtmore year of high school.
I used my BrailleNote for my classwork and homework assignments.
I like the different braille acents in the Spanish lanuage.
I wanted to do Spanish 3 last year, but my Mom told me that it was really hard.
She took two years of Spanish as well.
Thanks for reading, and good luck with your course!
