Grade 2 Braille [2/7] - Numbers, Capital Letters and Italics

Braille numbers use the same cells as letters A through J, just with a special "numbers" cell before them. Capital letters and italics are similar. Learn about these special characters that are used in both Grade 1 Uncontracted Braille and Grade 2 Contracted Braille.

I have no reason in learning Braille other than just being in a museum with some friends one day, and read a Braille sign and blow everyone's mind

[@controlafghane6303]

but it'd usually have the same words in english right above the braille so it wouldnt be surprising

[@InOneLesson]

@AlyciaBarras Thanks for the comment. That's what I was hoping for, making braille less intimidating. I am able to read contracted braille, but only by sight, not by touch. I don't teach or have any affiliation with any organizations for the blind. I just enjoyed learning braille and wanted to share that experience with others.

[@louellapalomar]

can you give like a test..?..thanks for the vid.. i have been having a hard time learning braille.. my interest in braille started when my blind student (she was blind since birth) in a regular class wrote me a letter using the alphabet, and considering that this student has been learning braille since. It was such a big effort for her to write even just one sentence ( she wrote: Thank you teacher for teaching me. I will miss you).. ..then I was inspired to learn braille myself..

[@andiloch8873]

love it! the memorization phrases really do help

[@liliacfury]

If you wanted to capitalize a whole passage until saying otherwise, would you do the same thing as the italics except 3 cap signs instead of 2 in the beginning?

[@InOneLesson]

@macf1soon Thank you for the comment! That's just what I was hoping for when I made these videos.

[@eyaz3097]

Not accessible for a blind individual learning braille such as myself.

[@PabloDeLafuria]

In one lesson: lesson 2 xD good vid anyway

[@jamesjacobs6581]

. To be recalled what range to be recalled

[@lllexoduslll]

Instead of F6 = f-16, you could use the word Fix. And instead of H8 = height, you could use the word Hate.

[@allaboutglaucomajasmynpoli7681]

I love grade 2 Braille! It’s more words to use!

[@CC-hx8gj]

1:04 It makes the U capitalized

[@InOneLesson]

@louellapalomar I don't have any tests for you unfortunately but you can find those on the brl.org website. It's a great resource. You can also find some other helpful links in the description of the video that is last in this series titled Grade 2 Braille [7/7] How to read Braille. Thanks for your comment and thanks for learning Braille. God bless you.

What about GRADE 3 BRAILLE?

[@ghanielane]

Do you think you might create a UEB version one of these days?

[@xavierhale6639]

I love braille

[@alexisalexannis4684]

I am blind and ready Braille just to let you know you need to update these videos because the English braille system has changed slightly

[@rizzwan-42069]

How to read up on updates?

[@Saphman4]

Typing out this video for Braille challenge practice

[@legendgames128]

0:18 more like... "0 - 9"

[@canaDavid1]

But it goes 1234567890, with 0 at the end, so it kinda makes sense but idk

[@ethanshohet]

Wait can someone tell me what zero is???

[@liliacfury]

J with a number sign in front of it

[@legendgames128]

Translate this Hexadecimal number into Braille: 19D63BE

[@gobbledygook5011]

[@gobbledygook5011]

Wait.... did I have to convert it to decimal? 🤔😂 (Idk if I get myself understood)

[@mynameisjustt]
