Starting a commonplace book is a great way to keep track of quotes and other things that make an impression on you. Keeping it in shorthand is even better!

Thanks for watching. These are the top 3 reasons I think you should stick with shorthand. I'm a Gregg user, but there are many systems, and this applies to all of them!
How To Learn Gregg Shorthand - Learning to Read

I think this is the best way to rapidly improve your Gregg Shorthand. You know how to write and you're developing speed, but you're still hesitating with new words, and you can't read back your own notes after you've forgotten what they're about. You need to become a good reader! I recommend choosing something entertaining that will keep the task enjoyable. All of these books are available as d...

This is a Gregg shorthand tutorial that gives you an overview of the alphabet, and eases you into the system in a low pressure environment. 1916 Manual - archive.org/details/1916GreggShorthandManual-5thVersion1916/page/n19/mode/2up
After watching this video, I am 1000% sure that... I hope to never learn this.
So that’s why doctors handwritings are always so unreadable, they use shorthand 😅
Love the sketches, cheers for the shorthand inspiration :)!
As a machine stenographer, I knew some of our theories of how to form words were similar; so I've always been curious how shorthand works. Thanks for the demo!
Do people sometimes have an accent when writing in shorthand? Like would you be able to tell by reading?
If you're adhering to the proper outlines from the system and dictionary, then no. That being said, I noticed when I was reading something that was a british translation that they left off all the "r" endings, and it confused me at first until I realized the person had a british accent 😆
What's the book shown in 00:05 ?
the fables book, shown at :03
When the world needed him the most he disappeared... Please make more videos, nobody teaches shorthand as good as you do
😆 sorry, I could make more. I guess I wasn't sure what else I had to say on the subject that wasn't just repeating what I'd already said
Lovley video, thanks for making! I've been interested in learning shorthand as a way of keeping a personal journal that couldn't be easily read by mistake. Love that its aesthetically beautiful too! Cheers :)
I took it in 1993 in college and absolutely LOVED IT. I still have my textbook and the dictation tapes from the class. I need to get back into it. My favorite part of shorthand is the brief forms.
Then get the Simplified Edition which preceded the Diamond Jubilee Edition.
I took shorthand in high school and did use it when I worked in advertising. I still take notes in it and have kept my books.
I'm just pissed of at myself and the school system now.
i just found oht about shorthand, I'm gonna learn
I haven't used shorthand since 1985, but I'd like to learn again. Thank you for posting this.
how you hold your pen bothers me so much, great video other than that tho
I'm having confusion between Pitman and Gregg. Which one should I pick to learn?
They're both perfectly usable systems, and take a similar amount of time to learn, so it's up to you! Personally, I prefer the appearance of Gregg. To me, pitman looks a bit ugly on the page, whereas Gregg looks nice.
@@shorthandist Even though I love Gregg due to its appearance on the notebook however to learn this system there are very few free resources to learn this on TH-cam and other platforms as far as I have researched on this as compared to Pitman. So If you have any good resources for learning the gregg that would be really helpful to me. ~ And Thank you for your reply Lots of Love from India 🌟
Gregg. All you need is a regular pen. With Pitman they have different thicknesses in their penstrokes.
Cool man your outlines are amazing make a video on how to make small outlines
This method is very similar how Arabic is written
Thank you for the suggestion of the graph paper! I've been practicing from the simplified version and using steno pad, but I definitely have trouble with the sizing of all the strokes. And I love the music, very chill vibes. ^_^ Ty!
this chaneel is more undesrtandble than other vids, thank you sir
nice vid, we need to learn basic first before proceeding to another level, because if you master the characters everything is easy
Please recommend gerrg shorthand book
I studied Gregg shorthand back in 1993 and absolutely loved it! I need to get back into it. My favorite part of learning it was the brief forms. They are so much fun to write and time savers!
Lovely art.
lol the smiley face at 4:26 😜
i never noticed than 🤣
Gregg Shorthand deserves a place among Unicode characters! It's so beautiful! I like your video to!
Why you holding the pen like that? Relax man, it ain’t going anywhere
Dysgraphia, maybe
I'm DEAD
So this is how doctors write
I'm staying up way too late after work, getting high, and learning shorthand for no reason but the super chill, boom-bap, rain-vibe background
How long to realistically learn this Gregg shorthand?
It depends on your goals with it. If you want to write 200 words per minute, and use it for live dictation, it's probably going to take a couple years of diligent practice. If you want to become generally proficient at reading and writing, and are just writing for yourself and your own notes, I think a great deal can be accomplished in 6-12 months.
I can read your shorthand. lol can barely read my own.
What did you use to place your camera at the top of your head? Waiting for your reply asap 😊
My mother was very intelligent she taught me alot she wasn't much of a phone person and I am really not much of a phone person either she and I spent alot of time talking about life and funny stuff was a fast typist and shorthand she had so many books 😊
Can i get jobs in usa
I can’t believe I finally understand! You basically just… write what it sounds like…
pretty much!
Ding, Ding, Ding!!! And bonus: You can do Gregg Shorthand in Spanish too. Spanish is known for being a language where it sounds the same as it's written.
a wonderful set of videos! i will rewatch these till i get really good at gregg
I TAKE SO LONG TO WRITE MY NOTES TYSM FOR THIS!!!
I can't afford the book yet so I'll be using your exercise in this vid as my reference :D
The PDF's are ALL there.
That pen grip is painfull to look at
Thanks ❤
Sat? 10:29
shape!
@@shorthandist Well…. I’ll get there 😅
Bro, member in the old cartoon they wrote in "scribbles" what IF that was shorthand!!!!
Actually in old Peanuts comics when woodstock is writing letters to snoopy it shows as scribbles in the word bubble, but is actually gregg shorthand!
@@shorthandist I knew it!!!! Thanks for the replay!
If I wanted to do 'Y' I'd do 'ooo' and 'I' together. "We' would be an upside-down horse-shoe followed by a small circle. 'OO, ee'. Words starting with the 'W' sound get 2 'ooo's as one continuous symbol. As for 'TH', I've created my own symbol for that, a verticalish short line with a line coming out of it such that it looks like a tilted letter T and then the rest of the word follows out of that. Great video.
I was reading All-Star Superman and Clark Kent was writing in shorthand. Since I love learning new things and like Clark Kent, I wanna be a journalist, I thought it could be fun to learn 😊 I’m in Grade 11 right now and maybe it’ll be useful for college or smth 🤷🏻 (I don’t like typing, I’m not great at it)
This is the first video or information on shorthand I've ever seen, ever since having heard it in an animated movie years ago. I'm so definitely getting into this
Alice in Wonderland! in shorthand! that’s intriguing.
Great sketches!
thanks!
The background music is very distracting and annoying!! Otherwise, great video!
It's calming for me. Makes it less bland.
I've been learing for a couple weeks now and have been really enjoying it! The reasons you listed are perfect😂👍🏼 Love your videos!
Did you take any course to learn this?
I have some old legal letters ( 30's), that have shorthand on them..where can I find a n interpreter for shorthand into english?
But what does it mean? Bit pointless
sat and sad
