Cantonese Braille

Learning Cantonese Braile is not easy. I took almost a half year to learn. Before learning Cantonese Braille, you have better learn English Braille first. English Braille, I think is a piece of cake. To learn English Braille you may visitTable of Braille Alphabet

Basically, Cantonese Braille consists of three parts:

  1. Prefix
  2. postfix
  3. tone sign

The folowing is the list of prefix, postfix and the tone sign. To write a word, follow the formula: Word = prefix+postfix+tone sign or Word = postfix+tone sign. To know how to read prefix, postfix and examples, please download and listen to the audio file in MP3 format.
