How to memorize BRAILLE

V looks like a vacuum

Watched your video as soon as it came out. My grandson was playing on the floor, I didn't think he was paying attention. But he just brought me my 12 hole muffin tin and said, "Gran how are we going to do our braille with this. There are too many holes!". He was able to repeat alot if what you said Paul. You are an excellent teacher. Now I have to go to Walmart and get a six hole muffin pan. And some tennis balls. See what you started!

I’m hearing impaired and learning the letters in sign is a lot like learning in braille … it’s a new skill that most people are never exposed to. Back in the 1960’s, I took the school bus with a few blind kids and they were always reading from these THICK books… fascinating! They also had a braille typewriter thin their classrooms.. what an invention that is! Thanks Paul, for such a great braille lesson..😀

My blind friend taught me Grade 1 Braille a few years ago. I started to get into Grade 2 but it was tough and I gave up. I can also sort of make out Braille with my fingers. My friend gifted me an index card slate and stylus set to keep practicing. It’s really fun to learn. 😊

I loved the Shorts on recognising the Braille alphabet. Paul is a good teacher ❤

Writing braille backwards sounds very fascinating. It must take much energy after so much concentration.

I love that all your (alone) videos are genuine. You keep all the flubs and incidents in. Thank you for the Braille lesson and history lesson. I would love to learn more! ❤❤❤ P.S.: Maple being sassy over not getting dinner....needs to be a comic 😅😂

Super clever way to show and learn. I live in France and I swear I see/feel more Braille here. On my health card, which is called la carte vitale, there is a letter V in the corner. Prescriptions come in boxes with Braille on the box!

You 3 make me happy. Our world needs more people like you!❤️

I had a professor in university who was blind, and his binder that he read his notes from was GIGANTIC. Now I know why. He held it against his body so he could use both hands to read, and now I understand why! He had no vision, and it was the only class I ever took that I would occasionally put my head down on my desk during the lecture...

Braille was one of the hardest things I have ever learned. You did an awesome job showing the alphabet and your memorizing tips were adorable.

My great aunt went blind from glaucoma at a young age, but she loved to write poetry. She had a braille typewriter she taught me how to use, it was really cool. It punched the letters into paper as you went along and seemed to be much quicker than a stylus. I remember it only having maybe 8 keys or so in total which blew my young little mind lol.

I do know Grade 1 and 2 Braille. I was taught it in Middle and High School and use it almost everyday.

Hi from England, Paul I am a 71 year old lady and always wanted to learn the Braille alphabet but failed miserably using dots and gave up. At midnight I was about to sleep when I saw this video. I thought I’d try again to learn it with your visual technique. Wide awake and 20 mins later I had consolidated it ‼️ next day I bought a patty dish and small balls and going to teach my grandkids. I’m so happy Thank you ❤ love you guys and Mr.Maple I always use Never Eat Shredded Wheat Xx

I Manage a retirement apartment complex. We recently had a lady move in who has limited vision. I am amazed by all the gadgets she has. Actually, watching your videos the last year has helped me a lot understanding her needs.

OMG, thank you so much for this video! Paul, you explain everything so well and in a very fun way, I think I have already memorized like ten letters. I have wanted to learn braille and sign language for a long time and I think the universe is telling me to do it. I'm going to start learning braille with this video as soon as my winter vacation starts ❤ (it's winter here because I'm from South America, so it will be soon). Paul, you could be an amazing teacher if you wanted to be. Thanks again for doing this, love you guys!!

Thank you for this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it! In a way, Braille reminds me of Morse Code. I had to learn that years ago in order to get my amateur radio license. It's no longet required, but I still love the "language".

I learned braille at university as a sighted student so I could braille things for students that read braille. It was the mid 90s so no voice messages or texts, just pen and paper notes on our doors! Took about twelve weeks to learn grade 2 sighted. I also learned how to read braille by touch, just so I could really appreciate the challenge. Took months, and I am very slow. I can discriminate the individual cell patterns quickly, but my dyslexia means that it takes time to work out what the string of letters and contractions are saying. I learned to read using 'look and say' whole word recognition and learning braille actually helped me learn to spell! The braille writing frame is like learning a whole new language as it is backwards. I don't know many who use it. The Perkins brailler was given to most braille learners in the UK in the 90s. Technology is so different now. Even in the 90s there was an electronic braille note taker. My career went in a different direction and has changed lots in the last 30 years. I no longer use braille regularly, but I try to keep my basic skills.

my sentence to remember the directions is a german one: "Nie Ohne Seife Waschen" which translates to "Never wash without soap", learned that at some point in my childhood and have used it ever since 😄

This Video is Brilliant. 👏 I often wished I could read the braille on packaging and it is on the boxes of my medicines, so I am definitely going to try reading them. Thank you Paul. Love all 3 of you. ❤❤❤🦮🦴📚
