  • Literally, the one video on my channel you don't need to watch.
    Jokes aside, I've always been fascinated by Braille, so here's my take on how to memorize it!
    Specifically, how to memorize the Grade 1 Braille System.

      So great to see this video! I’ve never seen a braille tutorial show the associations between letters like AKU and BLV that you did, that was *such* a nice touch and it helped SO MUCH! Thanks for all you do Nelson, you’re the boss & such an inspiration to me

    I am a braille teacher with 42 years experience. Great video! I will use it for my students. One small correction, though. A cell by definition is a 3 by 2 rectangle with 6 dots. W is dots (not cells) 2 4 5 6. It is one cell. W points west. That is my only improvement. Everything else is correct.

      It depends because the original language was made by a classical French speaker and because w isnt a part of the language there is some variants of it

    My notes/personal take:
    A: Apple
    B: bat
    C: car
    D: detour
    E: exit or empty gas tank pointer
    F: F-shape (dots 1,2,4)
    G: gas or full square (dots 1,2,4,5)
    H: house w/chimney or letter h shape
    I: ice cream (opposite of E)
    J: J-shape
    Letter associations:
    AKU = Alaska University (Apple => school)
    BLV = bee love
    CMX = CarMaX
    DNY = DeNY or Detour --> NY (New York)
    EOZ = Exit to OZ
    FP = The FP (movie) or similar shaped letters
    GQ = similar shaped letters (both look like Braille shape too)
    HR = Human Resources
    IS = the word “is”
    JT = JeT
    Others:
    W: sideways W
    Numbers: dots 3,4,5,6 (everything except 1,2 is how I remember)
    End of numbers: dots 5,6 (kind of like the opposite of 1,2 is how I remember... idk but it seems to work)
    Nelson is the boss, thanks so much! I mentioned this in another comment, but the letter associations is something that I’ve never seen before in a Braille tutorial and it helps *so much* with being able to quickly determine which letter goes to what.
    Something that’s slightly related: the letters in the word EJOTY are the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th in the alphabet, so you can use that little mnemonic word to help you determine what number any letter in the alphabet is.

    I self taught in elementary. A is alpha, always on top. B is beta 2 and below. C is CEE with two Es. D is pointing Right and F is pointing Left. E is diagonal Left, and I is diagonal Right. G is gangster in a group of four. H is a mirrored J, and J is J. K are snake eyes. L is lowercase L. M is two dots top, one dot below, mirrored with U. N is Arrow Pointing Right Up, and Z is Right Down. O is omega inside the triad. P is an upside down V. Q is literally P. R is R in dot form, and W is mirrored. S is an unfinished R. T is Tetris. X is connecting line dots. Y is a C that’s almost like an E.

    I immediately went and looked up a site for braille tests, and I started at 77%, then 88% and then 100%. This is so awesome.

    Just downloaded the Braille Academy app and did levels 1-5 fairly easily thanks to this video and the helpful reference notes in one of the other comments.
    Most of my mistakes so far have simply been my brain being too quick on the trigger Eg. sometimes going ‘Bee!’ instead of getting to the next bit with ‘Bee LoVe’ and entering L or V instead. So even when I make mistakes the foundational knowledge is still solid.
    I do like that so far the app hasn’t had a timer on things rushing me, which means I can also take my time and reference the video’s comment reference notes when a new letter combo appears.
    Repeating the key words/references out loud as I enter the answer also helps it stick.

    I am sighted, and I picked up Braille because I designed an application to read email and web pages over the phone, which was marketed to the blind. I had a Braille documentation book done for my application and got interested in learning Braille from seeing my documentation transcribed. Learning Braille made me realize what it's like to not be fully literate, because I find that I see words one letter at a time in Braille, rather than having them automatically come together real fast when I read print.

  • @elmalleable
    @elmalleable Před 3 lety +1

    Love how you are taking memory techniques to tackle new skills for fun and learn. I've been wondering, if muscle memory is really brain memory, then; shortcuting initial memory acquisition using memory techniques can leave us with more brain power to focus on practice rather than trying hard to remember what the next step of something is.
    I think you could demonstrate this by making a video series on acquiring a new skill like piano or guitar or asl but with a buddy who doesn't use memóry techniques. And try to Guage when the skill becomes routine for you VS the friend. You do have a leg up in braille, asl and cubing so maybe piano or flying an fpv drone in acro mode.

    This is just the easy part of braille. There is way more to memorize like punctuation and 180 contractions.

    Yeah, I have a feeling that Braille cared more about simplicity and memorization than readability.
    Some language engineers should probably get behind this and create a braille-system that is optomized for fast readability.
    If you have to use Braille your whole life, being able to memorize it fast shouldn't be your number one priority.

      this is just Grade 1 braille. It's like finger spelling in sign language. It's useful for beginners but you advance beyond that for practical daily use.

      You don't really seem to get my point.
