I took shorthand in high school and worked as a stenographer for awhile. During my various careers (one in the military), once they realized I knew shorthand I was asked to take the minutes at all the meetings. Like this refresher as I still use shorthand to this date in my art work. I began using shorthand in art as the marks are often beautiful and I can say something that might upset people if they actually knew that the marks had a message. For one graduate review I copied the whole Greg shorthand book on huge pieces of paper and hung them all around the room - I also had a recorder going with a tape of me typing. Fun, interesting, and challenging times.
I had always wished I had stayed with this in High school....I remember some, and this is the perfect refresher for me. Will practice my grocery list for a start, I so enjoyed short hand now will work on it again Big thanks.
Wow.....I can't believe this all comes back to me! Thanks for the memories and refresher course! I haven't used shorthand since 1980 high school class. But I seem to remember it!
I started learning Gregg on my own at a job where I had nothing to do. Couldn't get any dictation practice, though, so I'm looking forward to that after refreshing my memory on words and brief forms.
Thank you for sharing this is so helpful. . . I have a book that I bought to teach myself. . . This is GREAT. . ! greetings from Bakersfield California USA
Akanksha Kumar, when you write "can" in sentences in shorthand, you use only one letter C as the brief form for "can." In speed writing, some of the most frequent words are shortened to single letters or two: for example F can be used as "for." G for "go" and "good." L for "will" and "well." And so on. I will later explain brief forms in new videos. I'll be replacing lessons #1, #2 and #3 with brand new ones, better videos.
i know that in short hand there are words that can writting with one or two of the letters to shorten them even more. do you have a list of those words?
There are recommendations in the various manuals, but often you just improvise. Usually you can eliminate vowels. I write "pharmacy" "frmsi". That makes it quicker, but the real speed comes with writing entire phrases in a few letters and syllables. In Gregg, these are called "brief forms." Go to gregg.angelfishy.net On this site, there are manuals of earlier Gregg systems through the 1929 "Anniversary" edition, which can be written faster than a person can speak if you learn all the brief forms. You can download the manual for free. The manuals for later editions are still under copyright, but you can get the 1949 Simplified Gregg on Kindle, not expensive. Simplified doesn't have as many brief forms but you can still go fast.
Hey, I loved your video but I'm still confused about something. For the example that means gape, how do I know whether it's gape or gap so basically how do I know if there is an e at the end. Would really appreciate it if you could reply fast cause I need it for a test. Thanks.
Saké to a degree. At the time I thought this was the only tutorial, but there are even more helpful Gregg tutorials, even an entire study guide!

Is the shorthand for “team” and “tame” the same? I’ve noticed this for many words. I guess one word, and the answer is different but my guess still works
Very helpfull thanks! Would have been better to leave more time to try and figure word out first! I keep having to pause but ur too fast with showing the word :/

This is the best shorthand tutorial on RUclips

Thanks to whoever made this video.
Thank You so much for this teaching myself shorthand now 1 hr a day... :)
Another great one!
I love it! Thank you!
Thanks for putting this together!
You're welcome. After lessons, I am thinking of creating videos on Gregg shorthand phrases, words of the week, etc.
Please please please we need more sessions with practising
two-thumbs up!!!
at 1:20 why can't the word on the right be CAN? And at 1:56, the word can also be MAN?
using A as in 'cat' in both cases?

RC Geraghty Thanks a lot! I'm so eager I will be the first one to watch! ^.^
"can" is written as the character for "c". In that video, he wrote "came" as CAM, not CAN (character M is longer than N).
Fabulous sir

it's the small circle that represents e, I think :)

If I continue watching, only to find out these lessons aren't finished, I'm going to have the big sad
Are they finished :(

@@Scizzors512 thanks man and I didn't know Gregg SH was also in Esperanto and I speak that fluently ^~^
Saké You’re welcome 😉
5:09 why palm is written as P-a-m, instead of P-a-l-m??
that's because short hand is more focused on pronunciations. p-a-m is pronounced as palm as well as (Pam)ela the name.

Gravitation3Beatles3 you write T-A-M for tame and T-E-M for team and teem.
I think you're mistaking Ay and Eh as being the same sounds. I made the same mistake for quay. I guess it's a bit of a dealer's choice sort of thing.
Rylee Bull quay is written as K-E, because of sounds.
Gravitation3Beatles3 you go more by sounds than by longhand spellings.
So would fray be written as F-R-E then?
When I learned Gregg in college in 1986, we learned G as ‘gay.’ Not sure why.
So the 'I' is replaced with an 'E' amirite?
In writing Gregg shorthand, you go by the sounds of spoken words rather than by the spellings of longhand words.
3.19 could that be neat?
I guess so?
Very helpfull thanks!
Would have been better to leave more time to try and figure word out first! I keep having to pause but ur too fast with showing the word :/
It's realy spoiling all the fun xD
Most of the time, stopping the video works, but on others the timing is a little close.
