[Trainer-talk] students in spanish class

[Dean Martineau]

Hello.  I can probably help you with this.  Forget Rosetta Stopne, Pimsleur
sill be much better.  Yes, rosetta Stone is interactive, but it is also
inaccessible.  There are also oodles of podcasts available.

The student should be able to imput Spanish using the JAWS insert+4 dialog
if using JfW.  If not, the accents can be entered in word with the use of a
"dead key," ctrl+apostrophe, followed by the letter to accent. I've seen
this not work, nowever, and if this happens it is easy to assign keystrokes
to the accented letters.  In braille, there are symbols for each of the
accented letters.  Assuming his materials have been transcribed at all
correctly, this should pose no problem.

Hi. I have a student who is taking Spanish. There seems to be a bit of a
communication issue between reading the Spanish Braille, reading Spanish in
ms word, and writing Spanish on the keyboard. Was wondering if anyone had
any resources to help this young man.
Also, at his school they have a language lab with a selection of software to
learn Spanish. Has anyone had any experience with things like Rosetta Stone
or Pymslar while using jaws or window-eyes? They have old videos he can
watch but all of the other students are using interactive software.
Thanks for your help
