[nabs-l] Languages

[sami osborne]

Hi Lizzy,

I think it's really cool that you want to learn those languages.
I personally don't know any of those languages fluently; I only 
speak French and Spanish other than English, but I have taught 
myself some Japanese and Italian.
I am intending to lstudy more of those languages and perhaps more 
when I get to college, as I am considering being an interpreter 
UN (the United Nations), and I heard that you need to "know at 
least 4 to 5 languages.
Currently, I am planning to learn German, as that's very similar 
to English, I would also to learn Italian and Portugese, as those 
are similar to French and Spanish, and then, some languages like 
Chinese or Japanese which don't use the Latin alphabet, first of 
all because I'm curious as to how other alphabets are used, and 
second because I know that will introduce a whole new catagory of 
languages of what I already know.

Btw, I can't believe that you and I have the same interest! 
That's cool, isn't it?
Good luck with your learning!

Sami.

Hi,
Does Estonian Braille use the regular alphabet just like
Lithuanian Braille does?

Good morning, Lizzy,

         In high school, I studied Japanese language and,
realizing that I
simply needed to learn tenji (Japanese braille,) my Dad looked up
the code
on the Net and I sort of taught myself.  At 03:12 PM 1/16/2014,

Hi All,
Has anyone here taken a language that is lesser known? I really
mean
anything other than french spanish or german; I'm thinking
languages
like Chinese, Russian and Estonian.  The college that I will be
attending next year offers some pretty cool languages that I am
hoping
to take advantage of.  Has anyone taken a language like this
before?
What resources did you use to teach yourself the braille code? Or
did
you go about it in a completely different way?
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Lizzy
