Hello :) So, not stories per se, but my language learning guide on this sub has quite a bit of content on this topic. If you have specific questions about something I'd be happy to follow up :)

I'm not blind, but i have written a program that makes audio only language decks for the "Anki" flashcard app. İ use it while i am running instead of just listening to non-interactive audio lesson. Anki uses spaced repetition learning, and gives you cards more often if they are difficult for you. İ use a little Bluetooth remote to give feedback so i don't have to have my phone out. Let me know İf you are interested in the code or want me to make you an audio only deck for any language pair.

Also, there is braille in other languages, and there are rules for English braille when writing other languages so that you don't need to learn a whole new system of braille to learn a language

I'm very slowly working on learning Norwegian with DuoLingo and tbh my biggest issue with it is always when I accidentally swipe into the wrong braille keyboard and put hvorhat or hvorill because w isn't a letter in Norwegian and the dots for "w" in english braille is the contraction for hvor.

I'd love to learn chinese, japanese, korean or arabic but they don't work on duolingo obv and I haven't particularly looked into other accessible language-learning apps for iPhone or mac.

I am taking an official class to learn Spanish. For some reason, they haven't required me to learn the braille, since I do all my Spanish coursework on google docs. I imagine this is a quite unusual experience, though. I am learning and trying to use it outside of class.

But, yes, there is some differences. For Spanish, the only things that are different are the accent letters and the letter ñ. There might also be other differences that I don't know about yet.

Also, different languages will have different contractions, obviously. Knowing Grade 2 is of varying importance. For example, for English, it is pretty important and practically expected for long term braille users. However, some languages don't even have a grade 2.

You can usually find a good conversion table for your particular language's writing system to it's braille equivalent on the internet. I found a quick one for Russian by Googling it. The table is on the website Pharma Braille. This website isn't meant for this purpose, I'm pretty sure, but the table was very nice, so I keep it in a bookmark to reference.

Sorry for how long this got. I was board.
