How can a sighted person on Mac read BRL files?

Hi all, this is my first post. I am a sighted person learning Braille. I have a blind penpal in Japan who is learning English and is happy to help me gradually learn Braille. We are currently trying to find a way that he can send me a Braille file that I can read.

He says that his usual file formats in Japan are not ones used by North Americans, so he found a way to send me a BRL file. I downloaded Braille Blaster, but it does not seem to see the BRL file (it's grayed out).

Any tips appreciated, thank you!

If you really want to learn this, you'll probably need a braille display. Get something like the orbit reader 20 + or something like that.
