“Thank you for talking about disability. In my case, as a blind person (I don’t mind being identified in this way, I usually refer to us as “blind” or “visually impaired/partial
vision”),
I can do most of the exercises of the “cuaderno de inglés” (impossible to choose between different images of basic level, for example). The screen reader lets me navigate through the screen, and yes, the description of images is essential for us and also the use of html and css on the web programming.

Related to series or films in English, in my opinion, if you can’t see the subtitles, the best thing is to follow them with a braille display as you can hear the dialogues and accent at the same time you read the translation if you need it (I prefer to follow your recommendation: first in Spanish and afterwards in English, with a braille display, too! This way, I know the plot!).“
