Love the rice idea I loved teaching Braille I’m sighted but learning Braille helped me with my dyslexia. Concentrating on the touch and learning the grade 2 contractions was like rewiring my brain for spelling
@@elyska_singer for me closing my eyes and feeling the braille meant that I had to feel each symbol in correct order. There are different types of dyslexia. I taught myself to read via whole word recognition as parents read to me. They also read their own books out loud while holding me so I picked up those words as well. I could not break down words into Smaller bits eg Stephen is step hen but sounds like stee fen. To me it was a whole word pattern that I recognised but didn’t know how to reproduce the letters myself! I would write the same word on a page in different ways. My own name Julia, I spelt Juila consistently until I was 10. I have seen some people use wooden letter shapes and encourage learners to use touch rather than sight to ‘read’ and ‘write’. A “feely box” set up can work. Cardboard box cut so that it covers the letters or other objects on the table with room to put your hands in to explore the items. That way you don’t have to close your eyes. The feely box is great for establishing tactile recognition with all sorts of items.
@@julia2jules I am also dyslexic and this is really interesting to me. My mom hid the fact that I was dyslexic from me. I was in special classes but no on explained it to me. I found out recently a few years ago from my sister. It explains a lot and your description of how you learned to read sounds spot on for how I did too. Whole word recognition, so I used to read quite a lot as a kid but spelling was very difficult for me. I also struggle a lot with numbers and math. I've never thought of using Braille but that would be interesting to see how my brain reacts. I've also had the desire to learn sign language. I can hear but I think I have a processing disorder, making it really difficult to understand what people are saying especially in an overstimulating environment. These alternative ways of communicating developed for disabilities can really have applications beyond what they were developed for. If everyone learned Braille, if everyone learned sign language it would create a more accessible and inclusive environment and eliminate the isolation that can happen when disability accommodations are not universally designed and used.
As a fellow blind person: I think braille is easier to learn than the "normal" alphabet, because technically you only have to learn 11 letters, the others are logical. For everyone considering to learn it: Just go for it! It's really not as hard as you think, at least remembering the signs isn't that hard, but it may be more difficult for you to get your fingers sensitized. But every blind person will appreciate your learning efforts and it's a nice skill if you want to read medicine packages in the dark :D
@@camreyes1819 I meant that there's a logical way of finding out what they are: Braille consists of 6 dots (or sometimes 8, but the last two are rather unimportant). The dots are in a 2x3 square and a letter is a combination of a few dots in one of these squares. The first 10 letters only use the four upper dots of the square, then, for letter 11 to 20, you just add the dot that's left in the lowest corner of the square. For 21 - 26 you also add the one in the lowest right corner, but the W is an exeption. So only A to J plus W are really new for you to learn, the rest is logically structured: A is letter 1, K is letter 11, meaning that K is an A with the left bottom dot added. Does that make sense? And sorry, I'm not a native speaker.
This is how I learned Morse code. I trained myself to distinguish the letters by associating them with a phrase based on what they sound like. For example, the letter "B" in morse code is -•••. One dash, then three dots. I remember it by saying "Booooob is the man". I give the dashes long sounds, and dots short ones. Now when I hear or see the letter B in morse code, I can immediately recognize it because I hear "Boooob is the man". For this reason, it helps to make your phrases start with the letter they are associated with.
i always thought there was something wrong with my sense of touch since i would feel braille and not really be able to distinguish different patterns, it never occurred to me that we need to condition our fingers to feel them!
I posted this on your TikTok but just to get it all into one comment: I heard a podcast featuring a lady who had been blinded in the Omagh bombing (Claire Bowes) and the interviewer was a man who had been blinded by a British rubber bullet in the 70s, age 10 (Richard Moore) and they both said they found Braille very difficult and had never really used it for more than everyday necessities such as labelling jars and medication. When it comes to email and book reading, they use audio. (I'm quite surprised that the man felt that way, because he spent most of the 70s and 80s blind and talking computers weren't a thing for much of that time, or were extremely basic, and Braille was where it was at for blind literacy.) Edit: the podcast is "What About You?" and is on Apple Podcasts.
I've been watching your videos and you have such a beautiful soul, you so happy and when I watch these videos I feel a rush of confidence , thank you. Take care!
While I’m not as young as I would have liked to be to start learning Braille, I’m taking it in quite well and thanks to UA-cam and my curiosity before, I already self-taught the alphabet over the last few years before.
I was trained to re-braille when I was young person. Did not do the whole race thing. We learned by going through the alphabet. Repetition. Memorizing how each letter is made so that we would recognize it when we saw it. And a lot of grade one braille reading. Those of you who don’t know what that is it’s the one that’s just straight alphabet. There are no abbreviations or signs in it.
You are amazing. I pray I never go blind or deaf. I love to read and think I'd have a really hard time learning (I'm also not as young or as smart as I used to be) lol.
When I first saw you hold up the jar of rice, I thought this was going to be a cooking tutorial short. Lol. On that note, I think you’d make a really great chef, Lucy! Not being able to actually see the food yourself makes flavour and texture the forefront of the dish, as it should be (in my opinion) I love that your Braille teacher used rice and pasta to help you get used to the intricacies of reading with your fingers!
I mostly use audio books these days instead of reading braille. However, I do write in braille quite often because As I’m composing this youtube comment, I’m writing it in braille a bluetooth keyboard called the Hable One. called the one. Braille is a very necessary skill that every blind person should know how to use even if you just use it for labaling things around the house. I liked the tipb the rice to sensatize your fingers.
Do you still think visually? For example, in your videos about drawing something versus a blindfolded person, can you create a visual image in your mind of it? If not, how would you explain what it’s like? I also wonder if you create a mental diagram of your home, such as where the furniture is. I would like to know these because I have a blind friend and I always wondered it but don’t know how to ask him. Thanks for reading comments and making educational videos!
I don’t know about Lucy but for me knowing where things are in relation to me is subconscious it’s like a mix of muscle memory, spatial awareness, and as if my brain has become a map app so it knows my location, both in my home and in familiar journeys. I still see light colour and blurry blobby shapes (except four inches from my nose where I see clearest and text is smudged not totally blurred to illegible) yet I don’t think if my relationship with objects visually anymore unless it’s as the item being a “different texture of blur”
Braille is one of the easier writing systems to learn. I taught myself in highschool and it was super fun. Unfortunately I didn't use it often so I've forgotten most of it. Like with any linguistic endeavor, practice is key.
Lucy, I hope you have a great day! I just want to say again that you have been such an inspiration to me and how you never stop giving up even if you’re blind. Look at you now. Or I could say this “show us why, show us how, look at where u came from (17) look at you now! 😃
Thank you for this. I've lost 80% since 2015 and will eventually lose the vision I have left and I have been wanting to start learning braile before I go vompletely blind. God bless!
I'm going to be learning braille! My classes start next month. I wish American schools taught braille to students going blind or are visually impaired.
We do, when there are qualified teachers available. The Braille Bill demands it in most states. Not many teachers know the training exists, and not many colleges train teachers in teaching braille. I'm sorry you were not provided free and appropriate resources.
@@melindaschink6072 Interesting. My school refused to teach me and the other 18 or so blind kids in the district because we weren't completely blind. And they think that only if your 100% see absolutely nothing blind, is braille useful to you. Even tho I can barely read a letter that takes up have the page.
@@A_Wee_spook Did a qualified teacher of the visually impaired actually do evaluations and such to see if you'd be a good candidate for learning braille? If not, I’m so sorry your school district didn’t find the right teachers who could provide accommodations for you and who could teach braille especially if you were in any way communicating that you felt you needed this reading medium to be successful in academia.
@@joannestark3023 I had vision evaluations few times at the school and saw a mobility instructor twice. But in every I.E.P meeting they said that it was district policy for only totally blind children to get braille. And said that most schools in the country operated the same way. I also had a few teachers not believe I had vision loss and refuse to get large print anything. And thanks💜
@@A_Wee_spook What a pile of crap! Your parents had the right to ask to see that policy. Your district was probably just trying to get away with breaking the law by telling you all of that nonsense. Freakin despicable. Yes, folks, this shit still goes on in the twenty-first century.
It depends on a person's feeling/sensitivity in their fingertips. My dad went blind when he was 25. He had worked w electronics and factory work before this. His fingertips didn't have the sensitivity to easily read Braille. (I've worked factory myself and can see what he meant. Depending on your job you can lose the sensitivity. )
Hey Lucy! I thought of a series that you could do! I thought it could be called “ things you shouldn’t say to a blind person” I’m really sorry if you’ve already done this , but I hope you have a nice day! ❤️
I've been thinking about learning Braille in case I ever randomly go blind...You can never be too prepared. 😂 And the rice thing is so interesting! (Even as a sighted person that would be hard; your fingers are probably much better trained than mine!) ~:~
I have a blind friend in my class and i learned braille when i was helping her type like telling her what to type and i really adore braille because i think braille is unique❤️
Here’s something I would like to show to u: I use to have a dwarf and blind teacher in 1st grade. Even though my old elementary school wasn’t that good, she was really cool. Every nap time, I wouldn’t nap, because at nap time, the teacher would tell us stories. I don’t remember the stories, but I do remember the way she told them. She read Braille on this cool keyboard that would pop up bumps so she didn’t have to flip pages of a book. That’s the only memorable thing about 1st grade at that school. I’m asking u though, do u know this keyboard? What’s its name?
Good to know. I know one thing in Braille and that’s the L on the left ear of my headphones because I just learned it from chucking if my headphones are on correct without taking them off
My Mum learned Braille when she went blind. I learned it aswell. Once you get used to it it's not that scary. Mum had a wooden Braille cell with removable rods, so she could learn the different characters.
Out on hen night we played an escape game and had to learn braille numbers pretty quickly to get the number combinations for some locks. They gave us the braille cells on pieces of wood that fit to pieces with the numbers written on them. So we had a „translator“. But you would definitely have been an asset 😜
I have neuropathy and have very little feeling in my hands/fingertips. And I'm going blind... I'm older and was told this was probable at a much younger age and feel lucky to still see as well as I do, but all of the practice learning braille ended up being for nothing. I'm lucky there is so much more technology now.
OMG I love that short I suck at Braille now I have autism so I don’t know if that makes it harder but I know the alphabet and I can figure out the right bathroom but I can’t read a book yet, my brain has a hard time going from reading to writing braille.
Hey Lucy, I just saw the video were your finance designed a game for you. It was so sweet and I never realised that it is hard for you to play games. There is a game I know that does not require sight. It is called nyctophobia. I am commenting here because the other video is a bit older and I hope you will hear the comment.

Sounds like a good way to learn anything !. Just seen your pantenne add on TV and you were so good !
the first tip is really good for learning anything, not just braille.
Braille is such an amazing invention! It just blows my mind!
Dang, do they make an electronic braille tablet yet like a blind kindle? Or would the audiobook just be better in every way?
I'm just guessing here, I'd think audio book just from the standpoint that your finger would probably get raw reading a whole book, but idk
There are refreshable braille displays such as the Canute 360 which I guess would be the closest to a kindle but honestly I love audiobooks 😊
