Braille

[Antariksh Bothale]

Just a passing idea? Anyone enthu to learn Braille?

It can't be too difficult, it's just a matter of memorizing a few combination of dots, what is going to be tougher will be to develop enough tactile sensitivity.

I never thought of doing it, but after reading this, I don't think it will be too much of a hassle.

So, any takers?

We will fix up a time and meet, mostly in my room.

Can anyone jugaad actual Braille? Otherwise we will have to learn from pics, which will be useless, because we should be able to feel it

On thursday, I have two quizzes, so if possible, please fix the day after or on thursday evening.

I normally count 3 hours for a medium level difficulty script like Japanese, 2 hours for a simple one like Tamil, 4-5 for something like Urdu. Braille seems to be a 2-3 hour thing :D

This is still on. 

I will learn in sometime in June. If you enthu, reply here so that we can do it together. It is possible that those who said Yes last year might have lost enthu, so it will be best if you confirm. 

Those not interested, please mute this thread.
