[nabs-l] Languages

Wed May 7 23:50:52 UTC 2014

Hi all, since you are talking about languages! I would like to learn how to 
speak Hebrew, German, and I would like to know how to read and write Hebrew, 
German, and Spanish in Braille! As you all know, I'm from Peru and my name 
and last name are German! And the reason I want to learn Hebrew is because 
I'm curious since I'm  part of a Jewish descendant due to my dad's side, 
which his grand father was from German! And I'm curious! to learn the 
Language! Just to let you know, I'm not Jewish, I'm Christian! Do you know 
where can I find Braille books or links that will help me to learn the 
Braille codes, and who can teach me how to speak the languages? I will 
really appreciate it, if you could help me and give me some suggestions 
regarding this? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!! 
:)

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
