[nabs-l] Learning Braille

[Karl Martin Adam]

As others have said, Hadley is a good resource.  Your notetaker
could be useful too because you can set it to display in 
contracted or uncontracted Braille, and if you have it set to 
contracted Braille it will uncontract things you put your curser 
on, so you can find out what unfamiliar contractions mean very 
easily.

Subject: [nabs-l] Learning Braille

Hi all,

Even though I can use assistive technology fairly well, I think
Braille would be immensely useful for me in several contexts. At 
this
stage, I only know the basics i.e. how letters/punctuation
marks/numbers are spelled in Braille; I don't know any 
contractions
and cannot read large chunks of text In Braille.
Unfortunately, there are no Braille instructors in my town who 
are as
proficient in the English language as I'd like them to be, so I 
need
to figure out an efficacious way for learning Braille on my own. 
What
techniques should I adopt for attaining this goal?
Would devices like the Braille Note be of any use from the 
standpoint
of learning Braille?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Rahul
