Please help me to learn contracted Braille (self.Blind)
submitted by maniana012
Hello I'm Mariana I'm from Bulgaria. I learned English Braille at school I don't know how you call it but I read it when absolutely everything is written but this days I think most used is the contracted braille. Do some of you know where can I learn it and I know there's American Braille and ueb which one is better?

Everything will now be published in UEB.
I suggest Hadley https://www.hadley.edu/. I they offer courses to learn contracted Braille code. I believe it runs through the mail, so I’m not sure how that would work with your location. Hadley is in the US.

Everyone's being taught UEB, these days. If you intend to read anything published before the move to UEB, there would be the problem that UEB loses several contractions that US Grade2 has, which might be confusing. On the other hand, UEB is meant to work better with things such as programming and the internet. So I'd argue that it depends what you intend to do with your Braille skills. Probably go with UEB, if you're not going to be reading physical books from America.
