Those who decide at the last minute can still join in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic form of Braille consists of six raised dots arranged in three rows and two columns. The meaning of a symbol is determined by the number of dots and their position. A minor disadvantage of Braille is its considerable space requirement, as in the basic script each symbol represents a single letter. The full Braille script combines frequent letter combinations, such as ie, sch, and eu, into a single symbol. The abbreviated Braille script allows Braille to be read just as quickly as printed text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the guidance of experienced teachers, the aid organization offers one course session per week for <strong>Full text <\/strong>and an appointment for <strong>shorthand <\/strong>on, with shorthand recommended for advanced users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry into the course program is possible in February and September. The program is free!
