[nabs-l] foreign language

[Josh]

Have you ever seen Icelandic before? it is a very interesting language! the icelandic people are genetically 60% Irish and the language sounds kind of like Irish, somewhat. Here is a sample of Icelandic. Icelaandic is very old, just like Finnish it has not changed much if at all since the 10th century or sso. 

Halló til allra sem blindir búa í Írland Ísland arabíska tal ríkjum Íran, og Finnland og Noregur!

      The University provided me the textbooks in .doc format. I went to the bookstore and purchased them. Then took them to the disability support services office and had them remove the bindings and scan them for me. Are you interested in learning foreign languages?

        how did you get your textbooks? what format did they come in, or did you have to scan them?

          I used a braille note and received texts in .doc format to study Spanish and German.  I did the tests the same way. Teacher would send me the tests ahead of time because they trusted that I wouldn't cheat and I took them in the same room with the class. If I needed extra time, teachers would allow me to take them home. Again, they knew me really well it's a small university that I attended.  
          HTH.
