Even learning a foreign language is more difficult as an adult than as a child
as I found out a number of years ago when I was trying to learn Spanish.. Too
often the French word I had learned in school came to my mind in place of the
Spanish word I needed. I could and can read Spanish .o.k., . but speaking it,
and understanding it when it is spoken rapidly I 'm no good at. My problem in
speaking is that I'm too aware of what the correct grammar should be. Since I
was only speaking to uneducated immigrant parents I shouldn't have worried
about that, as someone told me, but I couldn't help myself. A course in
Spanglish would have been more useful to me than the college Spanish courses I
took.

Contracted braille takes a certain amount of memorizing. People who lose vision
later in life have a good many things which they need to learn to do
differently. Braille just may be too much learning for some folks for them to
learn it well enough to read large amounts of material such as a whole book.
