Would anyone have a template for braille letters in the correct dimensions and spacing (e.g., Marburg Medium) for printing on letter-size pages in landscape orientation, 39-40 letters per line (or a link to same)? I would like to print "blanks" from Word or LibreOffice Writer and emboss on my own, as a way to sensitize my fingers for reading. TIA

I found a digital children’s book written in Korean and English with audio recordings of both. It’s by the Kid’s Book Project. Apparently the Korean introduction translation indicates it was written in several other API languages (I was trying to learn the word “English,” but apparently the Korean translation makes no mention of it (as the English translation does)).

Hold on. Apparently “영어” translates to both “English” and “prison” which has me wondering about the etymology. I am fascinated. Translating out of context doesn’t work so great. 🙃
