[nabs-l] Online Courses

[Kirt]

If it were me personally, I think I would opt for Latin although I can understand why you would want to do Spanish. If you are set on Latin, I don't really see why you would need an eloquent synthesizer for it. It's not like Latin is something you would have to learn to speak perfectly, with the right accent, So I can't imagine pronunciation would matter nearly as much as it would with something like Spanish. However, I can see how having access to some sort of a braille display would be very helpful, although I imagine you could get by without one.

>> Jaws has a built in synthesizer for Spanish but, I can see why you want to take Latin. I would take Spanish only because of the fact that you must take the class on line. I know a jaws user who took Latin for three years but, I am pretty sure they used braille. I can ask them and get back to you ASAP if you would like.
