Is there another way to learn...

[Guest guest]

I am wondering if there another way to learn (once ones been " switch-on " ) to

hear speech another way beside computer?

I am also wondering how people who do not have computer learn and practice to

hear speeches?

For some reason phonic machine or something like that came to my mind. Or the

phonic lessons that I heard once on TV commercial to help children to learn how

to speak properly. Or was I dreaming all this?

I am not good understanding the computer. It took me 6 years just to find out

how to Copy and Paste with a help from a one-on-one volunteer person couple

month ago. The next thing I would like to learn is to put important information

onto Disk just in case of a Crash or Virus.

I did take computer courses for senior but even with my Intervenor help I just

had to stop (took beginner course twice and Website course). It was crazy as I

could hear the teacher, my Intervenor's voice repeating what the teacher was

saying, at same time trying to follow the typed manual and look at the computer,

hearing voices of others seniors asking question (my Intervenor repeat what was

being said), fire engine zooming out of the fire house with their siren blaring

away behind me (we were on second floor), hear the fan going, and finally the

guys ahead of us playing pool. Boy did my head spin by the time the class was

finish for the day. I had to go bed to relax my poor head and eyes.

I hope I made sense with my question?
