This is a fun new skill to learn in quarantine! Thanks for providing the videos and the materials in the Google Drive.
You’re welcome. Have fun!
Omg! I found the right video to help me figure out an old diary my late father wrote. Im happy to learn shorthand from this video, Sir. Thank you, it's very helpful.
I love your quote, " if you know what it is when you're reading it, then it's done ✅ correctly! "
Such an excellent presentation of the shorthand style. I really appreciate and am thankful for your sharing, especially the valuable materials provided. This soft skill can help one much in their higher study and I am trying to achieve that, too.
Best of luck to you going forward!
3:00 This man is brilliant. Writing n and m is damn near impossible for me horizontally, and K and G which should be so easy, they're pretty tricky too. But if I make the arches big, they're easy. And I noticed that if I write "n" as half way between an N and a T, getting those straight lines is easy too. Basically, everything just needs to be tilted back. That means My "T" is more vertical than I'd like, but it beats the hell out of writing an "N".
I've been worried about whether I should give myself the freedom to tilt everything back, and now I feel like I can, which will make life so much easier.
So pleased to hear you are making the art your own. It doesn’t have to please anyone else, so long as it works for you.
I used really watered-down version of gregg-shorthand for my whole 7 years of higher education. Shorthand was a wonderful study tool that really made me sit down and review my notes at least twice to capture the full material. I found this series in my search to reduce my sloppiness and I'm quite pleased with the guidance provided. That being said, I would love to know where the instructor learned his longhand and what script-style it is!
Thanks. My longhand is loosely based on the Chancery Cursive as practiced by 16th century Vatican scribes. I studied under Robert Palladino many years back.
These videos are amazing. I first got exposed to shorthand (specifically it was Teeline) in school about 2 years ago now during an extra curricular class. Sadly I was the only one who showed up so we never did any more than the alphabet but your videos here are doing wonders in fuelling that interest I had. Im going to be going to university soon and so I hope I can at least use some Gregg to speed up my notes by the time I start.
Great! I hope it is useful for you. An easy way to get started is to use a mix of your regular handwriting and shorthand. Just incorporate the shorthand words you know. Soon most of the words you use frequently will be written in shorthand.
Thank you so much for your lessons. I found them earlier this evening, and I have filled six pages of notebook paper with lessons one through four, using every fourth line so as to leave room for writing down the standard spellings words in the morning.
I love how artistically you draw your short hand in the video, I like the efficiency of short hand, but would gladly spend a good fraction of the gained speed on artistic gains.
In the morning I will see what of my writing I can read, and repeat. How long did you practice until your shorthand caught up with your long hand speed?
Glad you're here Ray. I don't usually need to write for speed. My personal notes are usually short, consisting of key points, action items, decisions, etc. Frequently used words become habitual to write quickly in Gregg, but I still have to "sound out" infrequently used words, which do come up quite a bit. That can slow down the writing.
My reading of my Gregg is still slower than my reading of my longhand. I'm not sure that will ever catch up. Longhand evolved to be redundant and fault tolerant. You can make errors in any letter without significantly impairing legibility. Gregg is not so redundant, so it is not unusual for me to spend a moment or two puzzling out one of my own words or abbreviations.
It sounds like you did some marathon practice. Frequent (daily) practice (or use) will be key to your development. Take care not to burn out.
I was an enthusiastic first burst. It took a lot longer to read the shorthand this morning than it took to write it last night. I haven't graded it yet, but will get to that soon.
One of my motivations for practicing is to use it for composition, I prefer to compose on paper, and I think short hand may be useful to catch runaway thoughts in the moment. More importantly I am interested in writing from a historic level, so learning some basics of Gregg feeds some of my more general interests.
I am pleasantly surprised that the ease of connecting strokes approximates how readily English joins the corresponding sounds.
You are absolutely right about the redundancy and fault tolerance, specializing any script for one feature will at a certain point begin stressing others. I wonder if, a slightly stylized Gregg could be easier on the eyes with tolerable loses in speed efficiency, a Gregg-serif if you will. Hypothetical at the moment, I know better than to tweek something before I have learned it, at this point I would almost certainly make a muddle by any changes.
see mine shorthand videos
thanks
ur videos are good
You're welcome!
Nice tutorial.😘
Thanks!
festina lente!

Hello, I have applied for recruitment as a stenographer in the central government of India. The qualifying test will include a dictation at 100wpm which I will have to write in shorthand and then transcribe it on the computer in about 45 mins. I am starting from scratch but I am motivated to learn shorthand through your course. I have about 6 months' time before the skill test. I hope I can achieve 100wpm speed by then, wish me luck.
Best wishes for you in your studies! You will fund several other potentially helpful videos on my channel.
@@Howard_Wallace Sure. I'll keep you updated on my progress. Thanks a lot.
Sir, I am learning Gregg Shorthand for the sake of writing my class notes quickly not for court reporting. thus what will be the span of time will I need to master this art?
Time to mastery is dependent on your efforts and skill. However, you can begin using it to speed up your note taking almost immediately. Learn to write one or two of your most commonly used words in shorthand, and start using them in your longhand notes. When you’re comfortable with using those add in a few more commonly used words in shorthand. In one of these videos I give shorthand abbreviations for several common words. If you haven’t reached that video yet you soon will.
@@Howard_Wallace thank you sir that was really kind. Gregg as i read before was very tedious but your video lessons are like simply wonderful. its like dreams come true. at last my ambition is near to achieve.

Ironically, this helps me learn the letters better than the alphabet, but that's also cause I tend to cram info in my brain then drop it for six months before coming back to it lol...
The key is to use it for something in your daily life. Notes, shopping lists, etc.
There is a typo on the opening screen. You have "Gress" instead of "Gregg."
Thanks Randy.
The introduction says Gress Shorthand, in case you didn't notice.
I did see that mistake. It's noted in the video annotations.
Howard Wallace
Ah, sorry. I'm on mobile.
No problem Emery. The videos have several flaws, which I've annotated after the fact. You can see the annotations if you watch on the large screen. I hope they are of value to you, despite the mistakes.
@@Howard_Wallace Since youtube has removed annotations, do you think you could perhaps list the mistakes with corrections in the description of the video?
EPA looks like a face.
Indeed.
