I have taught Braille to two sighted persons and both of them learned it in 16 sittings. Learning is not difficult but one has to keep practicing, otherwise one tends to forget whatever one has learned. Braille has to be taught in a step-by-step manner. once the logic behind it is properly explained, a student can grasp it quickly. Professor Shyam M.
