You deserve far more views! It's a shame that shorthand doesn't have a larger community; if it was larger, you'd have an amazingly large audience to go with it!
Also I think it would be useful for typing on your phone. Like sending messages to friends and so on. If you have a stylus. Maybe combined with an option to use a steno keyboard.
Omg I think I found the perfect channel for me !! I’m wanting to make my own shorthand to make my journals harder to read for others. I want to be able to feel like I can have privacy in writing about my life, thoughts, and personal interpretations of how I experience existing. Aesthetic/romanticizing is a key factor for me to be consistent with things too. I’m so excited to learn from you, thank you !!! 💕
I really love this content. It’s a lot like Ryder Carrol’s introduction into Bullet Journal series, has a similar meditative vibe to it. I really wish there was more.
Just found your channel and became a new subscriber. I remember learning Gregg shorthand when I was a teenager because my Mum who had the most beautiful shorthand used to write her Christmas lists in shorthand. So I learned it so I could see what I was getting for Christmas ahead of time! P.S. no surprise, Mum figured out what I was up to and left me a special message in shorthand one day! I never peeked again, and I'm trying to relearn now! 💜💜💜✍
Loved seeing your vintage collection of books and shorthand! I still (still!) have my book, workbook, and dictionary (Series 90) from HS. Have kept up the habit in bits and parts over the years just for fun.
@shorthandist I am just starting to learn shorthand, and I have seen that many videos and "courses" are not really that helpful. Although, I did find that the how to learn shorthand was petty helpful... It would be pretty cool to see another video maybe showing a full chart of the strokes or what ever you'd call them.. Although, I guess the how to learn Gregg vid kinda shows that... Idk I think this channel is pretty cool.
I love these videos, there so well made and informative and just generally entertaining. By chance, do you have any other channels? I love your video style and would love more!
@@shorthandist I know currently im still learning and im a bit confused on punctuation. Im not quite sure where to put the mark themselves but im about to google it. Maybe you could make a short form video explaining shorthand for others? Just an idea!
Hi, can you do how to increase speed and accuracy while writing Pitman's Shorthand. Ps. If you do this, please do these videos in your beautiful, artistic and vintage-istic style, I just loved it!
Thank you! Unfortunately I don't know Pitmans! However, I would say the principles are the same for improving speed and accuracy. You need to be fluent in the system, and you need to become a good reader of pitman, so that your eye is very familiar what what things should look like. I hope the videos can help with general principles even if it's a different system!
Your writing is nice--but, oh, what a fist! Back in the day when penmanship was taught, we were "encouraged" to balance the pen over the top of the knuckle on the middle finger. In fact, many of us got a writer's bump on that knuckle as a result--and it was regarded as a right of passage. I mention this not to be overly pedantic or old school, but rather because it gives greater flexibility to the pen and more control over it, making the writing more fluid and connected.
Hello Sir. Gregg Learner here from India. You have Beautiful outlines there. Could you please recommend some parliamentary phrases book of Gregg Short hand. Thanks
There actually was a book of Congressional Record Vocabulary, and Dictation. Not exactly Parliamentary, but might have a lot of crossover! But if you google that, you should be able to find it.
@@shorthandist Yes, but which one specific, and can you still buy it? I've looked everywhere in stores for notebooks/pads with blue and red ruling, but there are seemingly none in Germany and I have similar luck online
@@tolintheneographer1673 Yes you can still buy it! it's called "TOPS Steno Book" gregg ruled 6x9" blue lines, red page divider, green tinted paper. WBMason sells them
Also, if you're still here, are you interested in orthic shorthand variants at all? I've nearly mastered it as of recently, which is what lead me to interest myself in learning gregg as well.
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.

Yeah reap what you sow

I wish there was an app that translates shorthand that you write into it and also teaches you how to write shorthand

That's awesome! I hope the videos are helpful. Happy shorthanding!
I started learning shorthand because my nana used to write down work notes in it.. Ever since I learned of it I was interested.
Loved seeing your vintage collection of books and shorthand! I still (still!) have my book, workbook, and dictionary (Series 90) from HS. Have kept up the habit in bits and parts over the years just for fun.
That's great! It's a fun thing to keep alive
I have a vintage gregg shorthand simplified book that I think might be from the 70's or later... Pretty cool stuff.
Keep up the amazing videos and thank you very much
a wonderful set of videos! i will rewatch these till i get really good at gregg
Your video production quality is incredible for someone with less than 400 subscribers. I made it one subscriber less incredible. :)
thank you!🥰
@@shorthandist Hey, complimenting you is pure self interest. I want more videos! ;)

Thanks! I tried to make videos that weren't too dry and make your eyes glaze over.

Thank you! this is my only channel at the moment. I'd make more videos for this but I'm not sure what else i have to say on the subject.

@@enoch7775 That's a good idea! I'll put something together soon to explain punctuation marks.

Hej, could you translate like 4 shorthand "images" for me? It is for a riddle and we don't have a clue how to solve without an expert??

What notebook are you using?
it's called a stenopad

I've never tried orthic!
What's the book shown in 00:05 ?

How long to realistically learn this Gregg shorthand?

Summer, water, night, dress, kite, we . . . ???
It's a Stevenson poem.
"Bed in Summer"
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
@@shorthandist Ahh, now I can see more of it! Delightful
