[nabs-l] blind person becoming a teacher

[Joshua Lester]

Hi, Helga.
Check with your college and see if they teach Frinch.
If not, I have a friend who used to teach Frinch in our school, and now she teaches Algebra.
Blessings, Joshua

Hi Chris, this is Helga. I just wanted to tell you that I'm interested in
learning the French language. Do you know, where I can learn it, or who can
teach me the language? I will really appreciate it if you could give me some
suggestions. Thanks and God bless!!

Kelsey,

If you are interested in teaching French in the public schools, I can
put you in touch with a blind person who has done this successfully
for over 30 years. Please write me off-list if you are interested in
talking with him.
