Finished

I am done with my braille for now. I got an A in the course. It was braille 3, which is un-contracted braille. That means I can now read braille letter by letter. I also know how to read symbols now. Now I can also write letters to the people that know braille. I am done with braille 1, 2, and now I just have to wait for braille 4.
So braille 1 was tactile readiness. It got me use to how to read braille. It was only six lessons and did not take me very long to get done.
Next was braille 2, that was all about the braille alphabet. I already knew this, but took it anyway. It was a good refresher. I was taught the alphabet by a blind woman and it was actually easy. I was unsure about that at first, but it was good learning it from someone who was blind.
Finally I did braille 3 which is grade 1 or un-contracted braille. Like I said earlier it is reading braille letter for letter. This is not that bad for me because I have a very good memory.
Yes learning braille is like learning a whole new language, but like I said I have a good memory. I can remember what dots are in letters, numbers, and symbols. The letter and number thing actually is not that bad. The first ten letters of the alphabet are the same as numbers 1-0, just have to remember to put the symbol for number in front.
Well I am going to go for now. Later.
