[NABS-L] Environmental Science and Foreign Language Courses

[Emmanuelle Lo]

Hi Justin,

I'm currently taking Chinese, and I use my Braille Note Touch to read BRF files that my transcriber produces. I took Latin in high school, and since that used the same alphabet as English and only really had one accent mark, it was easy to switch between English and Latin braille in the same digital document. I've never taken Spanish, so I'm not sure how different that is. But if you're reading BRF files, they can have both English and a foreign language without you needing to change any settings.

I hope this helps,
Emmie

I looked through Independence Science, and did not see anything that went with LabQuest, though I'm not a science major so I could have easily missed something. Has anyone used a colorimeter before, and if so, how?

Should I have as much material produced in Spanish braille as possible? I am an efficient braille reader, and my college will do this with ease. Or is there a digital route that I should take? Just so you know, I read all of my textbooks on a braille display because I learn better that way. I'm not sure how well I could switch from English to Spanish braille though. Has anyone tried learning a foreign language this way before?
