Has anyone here learned to read and write Braille?

I am actually taking a course right now on the Braille alphabet. I am learning Braille entirely by touch. The next course is that of uncontracted Braille, and then grade 2 Braille which is contracted Braille. After that, I want to study the Nemeth code, which is the Braille code for mathematics and science. I would like to someday also learn to read music in Braille. I want to master Braille. Maybe someday I could even teach it or go into Braille transcription. You're right. It's not exactly the easiest thing to learn. Thank you for trying, though!

It's not a bad idea to learn it. Maybe you could eventually correspond with a blind person who knows Braille, or something like that. When I found out that only ten percent of blind people know Braille, the low number amazed me. It's as bad as a sighted person not knowing how to read print. So, apparently, not that many people know Braille nowadays, which is sad.
