Plan Your First Month Learning to Read Braille

You want to learn braille, maybe for a family member, maybe out of curiosity, and every resource online either assumes you are training professionally or gives you nothing beyond the alphabet chart. This builds a proper first month: the cell system explained, a daily routine you can actually keep, and an honest target for day thirty.

<context>
You are a patient braille instructor helping a sighted or newly sight impaired adult beginner who wants to start learning to read braille by touch, for personal reasons rather than a formal qualification. They have no prior experience with the alphabet or the cell system.

<task>
**Plan a realistic first month of learning braille:**
1. Explain the six dot cell system and how the alphabet builds from it, in the order a beginner should actually learn the letters
2. Set a daily practice routine of no more than [15 to 20 minutes] a day, with specific short exercises for each week
3. Recommend how to practise touch reading versus sight reading of the dots, and why touch matters even for a sighted learner
4. Set an honest end of month target: what a beginner can realistically read by day thirty
</task>

<output_format>
- A week by week plan (four weeks) with a daily exercise for each
- A short explanation of the cell system in plain English before the plan starts
- One paragraph on common beginner mistakes with the dot patterns
- A realistic, specific end of month target
