Thank you so much! I would have never learned Braille if it weren't for these videos!!

Because these videos were made 11 years ago, they have some EBAE braille which is not in current use in the US. We use Unified English Braille (UEB), and some contractions were dropped. I hope new videos will be made soon! I need something explaining rules like when you can use Lower contractions.

Thank you!!! These videos are so helpful!

Ok, I was getting it until this video. Not sure but I think that's all I can do. It's so overwhelming.

I think I see an error in page 1 of the list of abbreviated words. (7 minutes into the video) You have the same abbreviation for both below and blind. Blind should start with a "b", not a "be." Can you fix this?

This video is not blind people friendly, as a blind person I cannot follow this video due to the lack of description.

(The anal nature of the braille courses must be getting to me) at :10 it should be 4 FEWER cells, not 4 "less." Fewer is used with countable nouns, like: 4 fewer cells, or 4 fewer cans of tuna. Less is used with uncountable, like: "he has LESS spaghetti sauce than I do."

This video is useless for people who are totally blind. Your previous videos were helpful, but this was just a waste of time.
