@sclower I learned print first, because my school district wouldn't teach me Braille since I could read print if it was huge. But my print reading speed was very...............very...............slow. It might not be too bad for reading a room number or something, but not for reading books or anything. When I did learn Braille, however, I retained my knowledge of print, which I mostly use on occasion to identify products when I don't have access tech to hand. No way I'd be using it for books or anything substantial though except when I have no other choice. It's Braille that's enabled me to do things like read song lyrics fast enough to sing them, read my English students' lessons, thus saving my auditory processing capacity for listening to what they are saying, and even reading #music for playing #HandChimes.
