Quite a personal choice I'd say, but it also depends on the circumstances.
One of the most brailled areas of my life is games with my child, so in that sense I'd be much less able to participas without it. On the other hand, a full and fluent knowledge of UEB isn't necessary to read braille in household use for me: games aside it's mostly food and media labels. The alphabet would suffice for much of that.

All my longer braille actually comes from other electronic forms anyway (kindle in my case, 9 times out of 10). Obviously I can read faster than I could do an audiobook, but I don't know how much of that is because of learning it as a child myself. II I think it rarer to gain such speed at if you learn older.

There's literally been nothing in the last decade of my life in braille and nothing else, excepting content generated by other braillists.

I’ve been very low vision all my life. I can read large print, but the way my brain processes it means I read very slowly. It’s absolutely not worth it in the long run. I find braille to be a very useful resource to know. Well I don’t use braille a lot anymore, I’m still very fluent in it and when I do need it, it’s there. I think if I was faster at reading it I would use it even more than I do. So yes, I do think it’s worth learning.

9 years a at 34 I asked my O&M about i. He said no. In 3 months I start school for my VRT MA guess what class is in my first semester? “ Braille and Other Tactual Communication Systems”, if it’s important enough for VRTs to learn in 2021 it’s important enough to learn.

Yes it’s worth it.

Grade 1 braille didn't take me that long to learn visually, and it's the commonly used type. Day to day I think it definitely has it's uses, so if you have the resources to learn how to read it properly (fingertips) then I definitely think you should go for it. Try not to let yourself be intimidated by Grade 2, because unless you're going to be using braille all the time and for reading and things like that, you may not even need Grade 2

That really depends on you as a person if that makes sense and what you want to do with it. It is a bit harder to learn brailke when older but. You can get faster at reading and such. And. It really helps with labels and what not in some cases.

As someone that learned braille later in life, i found it MUCH slower to read compared to large print or audio. But it's up to you. I also never too the time to get fast

It is important if you are ever interested in learning another language.

Currently discovering this myself and hating life.
