[NABS-L] Accessible Japanese Textbooks

[Carly Mihalakis]

Evening, Allana,

In high school, I studied nihongo (Japanese language) and was so 
moved to persu an understanding of reading nihongo tenji (Japanese 
braille  code) and ended up getting some blind  outfit there in Japan 
to give this little book written in braille (tenji) to some friends 
whom have connections there. Due to some changes in my physiology, I 
do not actually read braille anymore but know how to form the 
caracters using the familiar dot patterns. I would love to write a 
description of a, i, u, e, o, the syllable chart for writing hiragana 
and katakana. Essentially, the kanjis(Japanese caracters) are 
expressed in syllables called hiragana and katakana. This all sounds 
really confusing if you know nothing. Please call sometime and we 
might discuss it?
