I'm a Spanish teacher but I also speak German. I read and write in both languages. If you can give me a couple days, I will obtain some resources for Spanish Braille.
 I will also obtain  some German resources.

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!! :)
