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 digital scans if you good them.

Great advice. Reading is at least as important as writing--after all, if you can't transcribe your notes, then what good are they?

This is something, I'll learn. I just want my exams to be over. And then imma come back to your channel sir. I have saved this video. And i will surely not miss watching it

Thanks!

Great video!
A question here:
Did you ever consider creating your own shorthand?

[@shorthandist]

I haven't, but could be fun! In Gregg you are able to create "shortforms" for various words, so you could personalize it to the extent that even another Gregg reader couldn't understand the main content of it.

Great video! Where can I find these books?

[@shorthandist]

You can find scans of these online just by searching the titles. To find hard copies is a bit of a treasure hunt, but they're out there

what do i do if i know the strokes, i can write it. But I cant read it for the life of me unless i wrote it

[@shorthandist]

I recommend looking up some of the books I show in the video (there are free scans online) then search for a regular copy in english, you can have them open side-by-side on the computer and practice reading the shorthand, and when you get stuck refer to the english copy. After a while this practice will make you a better reader.

@@shorthandist I tried with hamlet, but i couldnt even make out the first word and they have it formated differently so i couldnt find where i wa s

[@shorthandist]

@@DGTZ2027 Oh yes, that's a translation of a specific book by charles and mary lamb called Tales from Shakespeare. So I would look for a pdf of that. Or maybe start with an easier one like Sleepy Hollow

(not really)
It's 'Gregg'.
A shorthand style so you can write faster ( like 100-200wpm faster ). Useful for taking notes in college, courtroom reporting or even journalism.
It's been mostly phased out by steno types, and keyboards, but can still be useful for speed and/or just don't want anyone else to read your notes, but it does have a learning curve.
These books in this video exist so you can of course practice reading it.
That's all I know.
Bye.
