Gregg Shorthand: OA1 LESSON 1 You write what you hear

[@shanmontano]

My learnings about Lesson 1 is that its really important that we observe the proper strokes or alignment of every words or letter, as it said that there are some words that has a same outline but different word and meaning so its really important for us to be familliarize for those words, also the what you write what you hear concept truely help us to understand to write in shorthand easier. At first i find it difficult to understand how to write in shorthand but as they said being knowlegdeable about shorthand give us a oppurtunity to write as fast as someone speak so that we take or write down every words they said correctly.

[@samog-oyjoshua4118]

This lesson brought me many realizations and learnings that would answer to my questions. It explains that, shorthand is relevant especially when writing the important information that had mentioned by the speaker reason is, compared to longhand it has many process to make a word or writing a letter while in shorthand, it is much easier to write as it only has a few steps to write a letter or a word and since shorthand is for faster writing, you only going to write what you hear, in that sense, vowels or any letters that are silent is not needed to write. In addition, the mentioned letter here has almost the same steps some has added lines some has lesser lines or sizes, by this, it will help you to not consume your time in memorizing them because their similarity would gain familiarity to your arms that will make your arms write freely until it your skills are improved and because of their similarity of strokes it is not easy to forget them.

[@RaiwellJavier]

Thank you very much, I have learned a lot and this has been a great help for me. From symbols, sounds, and shapes, everything needs to be studied.

[@DorinaOgdoc]

CBET-25-103P After viewing this lesson I learned that when you hear a word, the way it sounds is important because it influences how you write it, and getting it wrong can lead to misunderstandings. In shorthand, sounds like "a," "e," "m," "n," "t," and "d" each have their own symbols, but they’re distinguished by their size and structure. Some punctuation marks look different too, and a few are circled. Just like in regular writing, capitalization is key, especially for proper nouns and names. The more comfortable you get with writing what you hear, the easier it is to pick up shorthand.

[@ricasltre]

In this lesson I learned that we need to pay attention or listen very well to what we hear because the other letters may sound different. I also learned the different symbols, punctuations and capitalizations that we need to use.

[@mariajanika]

In Lesson 1, it talks about the concept of “you write, what you hear” in which silent letters are omitted and other letters may different sound. In the video there are some examples of english words with their shorthand spelling, we have NAME word that is sounds like N-A-M and the letter ”E” is silent. In another topic, there are the symbols representing sounds symbols of a, e, n, m, t and d. As I watched the video, I've learned that the symbols of A and E are circles but differentiated by size because the “A” is the large circle and “E” is the small. While the N and M are the straight line, the “N” is a short straight line while “M” is the long straight line and for the sound of T and D, the symbols for that are slanting lines and it has different length because “T” is the short slanting straight line while “D” is the long slanting straight line, it also written upward and to create a proper outline for t and d it is crucial to ensure proper propotion and alignment. As I've watched the video I noticed that to make is easier, you have to remember that t is half the size of d. The video shows the ordinary longhand marks of panctuation that are similar also in the shorthand symbols that are called special symbols. While the shorthand capitalization is indicated with a pair of tiny upward slanting straight symbols, and these marks are placed at the end of the outline.

[@JowanesMacasusi]

This topic give me a vision in of how we can write shorthand. In shorthand silent letters are omitted and other letters have different sounds. This lesson teaches me a lot about how to write a shorthand, which includes different lines, forms, and sizes to ensure that your shorthand is right.

[@ruizkaryllevillaflores4117]

I learned that shorthand is an easy way to write something in a meeting or a hurry. We apply the concept of "you write what you hear" and some of the letters that were omitted are silent. For example, for the word "name", we hear and spell it as "nam", while the "e" is silent, we're going to exclude it as it is not heard from the way we say it. I also learned the concept of symbols representing the sounds, for example, the word "face" we hear it as "fas". Here, the c sounds like s, that's why we used s instead of c because it represents the sound of c. The letters a, e, n, m, t, and d are the simplest symbols to memorize and write. The corresponding symbols for a and e are circles differentiated by their size. The a is a large circle while the e is a small circle. The symbols for n and m are straight lines written forward, the n is a short straight line and the m is the long one. For t and d are upward-slanting straight lines differentiated by length. The t is a short slanting straight line while the d is the opposite of t. And lastly, the shorthand symbols for punctuation, paragraph, and capitalization are all simple to comprehend. This lesson is the most important because this is the foundation that can help us in our journey in shorthand.

[@JohnLenardLabutap]

I learned something about the importance of “ You Write What You Hear " is to know symbols of sounds. Punctuation, Paragraph, and Capitalization.That I know in shorthand silent letters are omitted and other letters may have different sounds. It is more convenient to create a word and form it in an outline for easy to write it. The special symbols are used to represent those punctuations that can be accurate.

[@zephaniahcruz8005]

In lesson 1, it talks about the concept of writing what we hear. I learn here, the symbols for the sounds of letters a, e, n, m, t and d. As well as the symbols for punctuations, paragraph, and capitalization. I learned from lesson 1 too, that silent letters are omitted, omitted means leave out or exclude. Example, the word "name". Name is read as 'n-e-m', so the letter is in the word name is omitted, since it's a silent letter. Shorthand is really helping us to shortened our time in writing.

[@noelbayo4259]

I get an idea of how we can write shorthand from this topic. Silent letters are not used in shorthand, and other letters have distinct sounds. I learned a lot about writing shorthand from this class, including how to use various lines, forms, and sizes to make sure your shorthand is correct.

[@christianroymolenilla]

Takeaways in lesson 1, there are words that are some letters are ommitted like some vowels when we pronounce it so, when we write shorthand we apply the concept of "write what you hear" it helps to make writing more fastand I've learned that outline is the joined symbol sounds and lastly when we write the symbols for each letters for the letters that uses symbol sounds like long and short straight line for "m" and "n" long and short slant upward line for "d"and "t" and also big and small circle for "a" and "e" When we write these symbols we must take note that we need to observe the proper proportion and alignment of every symbol to ensure that it is accurate and not messy.

[@JhianSandagan]

This lesson help and guides us to write what we here but not just what we hear is what should we write because it may sound the samebut it can trick you on the spelling it also teach us how to write properly with different sizes line. because as we can see in there there are different letter that is written big and small letters. if we focus and listen to the lesson carefully we will be able to understand how it works. this lesson guides us to make sure we write properly in shorthand.

[@erronlozada9965]

Lesson 1 taught me the strategy to write what you hear, so basically it is all about passive hearing. this lesson also taught me that the silent letters are omitted. i also learned the basic symbols for the sound a, e, n, m, t, and d. aside from that, i also learned the symbols for punctuation, paragraph, and capitalization.

[@ArabellaBajo]

Upon watching this lesson, I knew that the sound of the word you hear is crucial since it can affect your writing, and may lead to misinterpretation. The sounds of a, e, m, n, t, and d each have a symbol that corresponds to them, but their size and structural differences make them distinct from one another. Few of the punctuation marks were different, and some were encircled. In shorthand, capitalization matters since proper nouns and names are capitalized in longhand as well. Being familiar in writing down what you hear, it can be helpful on how to grasp shorthand efficiently.

[@js.nifuji]

Calubayan, Josa - CBET-25-101E I learned that we really need to have a thorough understanding of shorthand because some letters are omitted and others have different sounds that might be spelled differently in shorthand. In addition, we should also familiarize ourselves with writing the letters correctly since some letters, such as a, e, n, m, t, and m, seem similar and can only be differentiated by size or length. I have also learned the symbols for punctuation, paragraphs, and capitalization.

[@andreipamat9189]

The first thing I learned was how to read steno letters. It's crucial that we follow the correct alignment or strokes for each letter or word. I also learned about some of the different letter sounds, and we should become familiar with some of the letters that are discussed in lesson 1, which are a, e, n, m, t, and m. These letters may seem similar, but they differ in size and length.

[@espinocristhel6287]

My learning/takeways about this lesson is the important of the sizes of each shorthand symbols because that's how we can differentiate letters. Some letters has the same symbol but different sizes just like the symbol for a and e, the bigger circle is represent (a) while the smaller is (e). In lesson I've learned that you write what you hear because some of the word we heard are different from it's spelling. Punctuation is an interesting topic in shorthand. In addition the symbols for capitalization is important to clarify what we are talking if it is about name, date or more.

[@ricajanebalasabas1964]

LESSON 1 This lesson is all about the sound and you would typically start with the basics of the Gregg Shorthand system, learning the foundational symbols and techniques for transcribing spoken words and phrases quickly and efficiently. It's a useful skill for taking notes or recording spoken information with speed and accuracy. If you have specific questions or need assistance with a particular aspect of Gregg Shorthand, Absolutely, in Gregg Shorthand, you write down the words and phrases as you hear them spoken, using shorthand symbols and abbreviations to capture the sounds and syllables efficiently. It's a valuable skill for transcription, note-taking, and rapid writing. If you have any specific questions or need guidance on Gregg Shorthand or a particular lesson..

[@DenniseOrtiz-z1n]

Ortiz, Dennise Jacquiline H. CBET-25-102E Gregg Shorthand's "You Write What You Hear" lesson number one was an excellent way to get started in shorthand! Learning the fundamental symbols and how they stand for various sounds was fascinating. I'm excited to put my shorthand writing into practice and see how quickly I can get better at it.

[@chricie2628]

Alcano, Christine P. CBET 103P In lesson 1 I learned the basic method in writing shorthand. This helps me to make it easy to understand and knows how to proper write every strokes and their shortcuts.

[@joygaduyon5148]

Through Lesson 1, I learned to identify the sounds a, e, n, m, t, and d and represent them using shorthand symbols. This practice encourages active listening and builds a stronger connection between spoken language and its written representation.

[@RhaiLynKhateReyes_14]

Reyes, Rhai Lyn Khate DJ. CBET - 25 - 102E LESSON 1 - I learned that in shorthand, you are not going to write or spell the exact spelling in the English alphabet. The difference of the shorthand strokes for A & E, N & M, and T & D is a bit complicated because in just one wrong outline, there is a high chance of getting an incorrect word for a sentence or paragraph. Additionally, although the original longhand punctuation marks have a similarity to the shorthand, there are a few that I have never used before, such as the punctuation mark for period, question mark, and paragraph. In this lesson, it also answers my curiosity about how to identify whether the word starts with a capitalized letter, which is putting a cap or capitalization mark underneath the word that is needed to be capitalized. As I watch this video, it explains more in detail, in which I was able to understand more about the basics of shorthand.

[@JohnLemuelCAmar]

Amar, John Lemuel C. CBEA - 25 - 101E My takeaways in lesson 1, is we must inherit the observation of proper alignment and proportion in regards for better and comprehensive outline. Next, the concept of "you write what you hear" does make the shorthand writing easier also, it serves as a foundation. Lastly, there are 'ommited' or in other term is 'excluded' words, compromise the absence of most silent words and it is the innovation of foundation of shorthand.

[@angelicasoldevilla6781]

My main learnings from the lesson are that Gregg Shorthand is a phonetic method, which means it represents sounds rather than specific letters. I've picked up additional symbols and methods as I go through lessons for writing more quickly and accurately shorthand transcriptions of spoken language. The foundation established in Lesson 1 will be built upon in later lessons, therefore it's imperative to get these fundamentals right before continuing.

[@Leo-gi6ob]

Dela Cruz, Dann Andrew L. CBET-25-104P Lesson 1 What I've learnt from this lesson so far is that shorthand is an extremely efficient method of writing which can save us a tremendous amount of time over a lifetime. And to be frank, I agree. Everything about this subject is concise, but that also means I have to be much more considerate of how I write, as the wrong size can mean something else entirely (A and E, N and M, T and D all share the same stroke, albeit with different sizes). Most importantly, silent letters are omitted, which is crucial when reading something in shorthand.

[@MirbertJohnnLeron]

Lesson 1: •I learned that short hand is a concept of “You write what you hear” And the silent letters are omitted, and other letters had it different sounds and different proportions. It also has a proper writing each letter by it symbols just like “T” and “D”, “T” is written in a short slang line from the bottom left to upper right, while “D” is written in s long slang line starting from the bottom left to upper right. I also learned that we will recognize the letter in shorthand by it symbols and sizes. In using shorthand, you have to listen carefully to each word that you will transcribe ‘cuz it has it own sounds.

[@abatayomarjoried.4993]

In the first session, "You Write What You Read," I learnt that shorthand is usually used to quickly copy spoken words. Writing down what you hear allows you to catch spoken words in real time and keep up with fast-paced discussions or dictations. By writing what you hear, you strive to preserve the precise words and phrases said, which aids with transcribing accuracy. Shorthand systems are also intended to be more efficient than longhand writing. When you write down what you hear, you reduce the need for later corrections and modifications, eventually saving time and effort.

[@glaizamaedalumpines3443]

Dalumpines, Glaiza Mae M. CBEA-25-101E Lesson 1 showed me that getting the strokes right is super important in Gregg Shorthand. Some words look the same but mean different things, so knowing them is key. The "what you hear, what you write" idea helps a lot. It's hard at first, but once you get it, you can write as fast as someone talks!

[@CrislinJoySanAndres]

San Andres, Crislin Joy M. CBET-25-102E Lesson 1 taught me how important it is to pay attention to the correct alignment and stroke order of every word or letter. The concept of "what you write is what you hear" truly makes it easier to write in shorthand. I initially find it challenging to comprehend how to write in shorthand, but as they mentioned, knowing shorthand gives us the chance to write as quickly as someone speaks, allowing us to accurately record every word they say. This lesson also addresses my question regarding how to determine if a word begins with a capital letter by placing a cap or capitalization mark beneath the word that requires capitalization.

[@villaflordarrel]

This lesson is about writing what you hear, it makes me learn something like how to tell the difference between other symbols and even words. I understood that it is known through the sizes and sounds, no matter what letters are different and silent the way you pronounce the word is the same on how we pronounce it, in punctuation and paragraph the symbols are little bit different but you will just add a circle while writing those to be identified clearly and properly.

[@gomezrandelienl.8065]

Lesson 1: In this lesson I learned that it is important to pay close attention to how things are pronounced and heard as shorthand has a concept of 'you write what you hear' which means silent letters that are not heard is omitted. This lesson also taught me how different words were written in shorthand, different punctuation that I can use when writing sentences or paragraphs and lastly how to use capitalization.

[@GraceFlores-h8v]

Flores, Grace M. CBET - 25 - 101E My learning about Lesson 1 (You write what you hear) is that we need to listen carefully to the words to make our strokes correctly. I also learned that "A and E", "N and M" and "T and D" is differentiated by the size like for example symbol "A" stroke with a large circle and "E" stroke with a small circle.

[@idiosolostevenkenp.5800]

My takeways on this lesson of "You write what you hear".I've learned that shorthand is an easy way to write during some meetings and I also learn symbols and the sounds of a,e.n,m,d, and d words. For example when we hear the word “name” we hear and spell it as a ‘nam” , while the “e” is silent. So that's why we must pay attention to what we hear cause some other words have a unique sound.

[@ioantrampe3512]

Trampe, Ioan Radcliffe P. CBET-25-103P lesson 1, "YOU WRITE WHAT YOU HEAR," along with the shorthand spellings of those words and an explanation of why they differed from the actual words they stated. For instance, if you hear the word NAME, you write down what you hear, which is N-A-M since the E is silent. The sounds of A, E, M, and N come next. The shorthand symbols of n and m are straight lines written forward down the line of writing, while the symbols of a and e are circles that are distinguished by size much as they are in longhand; for example, A is a large circle and the e is a little one.

[@yacapmarianjoya.1490]

I have discovered That shorthand symbols, such as those for the letters 'a,' 'e,' 'n,''m,' 't,' and 'd,' serve as basic indication of the creativity of human language and the adaptation of writing systems. They raise attention to the complicated connection between sound and sign and explain how shorthand makes use of this relationship to make it easier to record spoken words, simulating the phrase "what you hear is what you write."

[@barnesprincessizzy7293]

The first lesson taught me to pay close attention to the words since some letters will be silent when they are spoken. Additionally, I learned the shorthand writing of the letters a, e, n, m, and t, as well as d. In the video, it is also said that when writing, we should pay attention to alignment and proportion. Lastly, I learned that the shorthand includes a punctuation mark just like the longhand does, as well as a mark to indicate that letters are capitalized.

[@lier_riel]

Lesson 1, is about write what you hear symbol for the sounds of a,n,m,t in shorthand silent letters is omitted some letters do have different sound further to the introduction for "A" it is a big circle "O" while E is small circle"o" because of their alignment and also that's their strokes hence i've always observe how they're different in each other, punctuation and capilization is important to understand shorthand and your words.

[@DOCULANElizabethAnnR]

The saying "you write what you hear" applies to shorthand, which combines the abilities of active listening, summarizing, and recording. Lesson 1's key points were that silent letters are gone and other letters can have a variety of sounds. The shorthand symbols are distinguishable by size, just as they are in longhand. The symbols for a word's syllables are connected to form the word's outline. In addition to separate capitalization, paragraph, and punctuation marks, shorthand also uses upward-slanting lines with different lengths.

[@angelicajoycelumactod]

This lesson 1 presentation shows the importance of listening carefully to the words, The concept of "You Write What You Hear" is saying that you must focus on the spoken words to transcribe such information or conversation with accuracy for a short period. Furthermore, I also learned that every letter has its length to write, for example; A and E are similar to one another because they're written as a circle but A needs to be a larger circle than the letter E itself. After all, it is written as a small circle only. The T and D letters are both written as a slanting stroke but T is only half of a D stroke, which makes every character unique. Additionally, I learned that the words that are spelled to their respective spelling aren't written as they are but instead, you will be based on the vowels (a e i o u) like how they're pronounced.

[@wendllefigueras7835]

Figueras,Wendle F. CBET - 25 - 102E LESSON 1 - I learned that in shorthand in " you write what you hear " the English word with their shorthand spelling, its clarify the proper sound in a word and they have an explanation of the sound in silent. also in alphabetical, they have a symbol and different sizes the way they write properly. so you need to understand it every letter,size, sound, and outline.

[@jayemmarasigan]

Marasigan, Jay em E. CBET-25-102E I learned how crucial it is to pay attention to the proper alignment and stroke order of each word or letter in lesson 1. Writing in shorthand is genuinely made easier by the idea that "what you write is what you hear". At first, I found it difficult to understand how to write in shorthand, but as they pointed out, being able to write in shorthand allows us to precisely capture every word that is said, even if we can't write as quickly as someone speaks. By putting a cap or capitalization mark beneath the word that has to be capitalized, this lesson also answers my question of how to tell if a word starts with a capital letter.

[@jirenzingua]

Ingua, Flaime Jirenz CBET-25-103P My takeaways from this lesson that writing things quickly and easily in a meeting is possible with shorthand. There are some silent letters that were left out when we used the "you write what you hear" approach. For instance, the word "name" is pronounced and spelled "nam"; the "e" sound is silent and will be omitted since it is not audible in our speech. Also, I studied the idea of symbols standing in for sounds. For instance, the word "face" sounds like "fas" to us. Since the c sounds like s in this context, we chose s to represent the sound of c rather than c. The letters a, e, n, m, t, and d are the simplest symbols to memorize and write. The corresponding symbols for a and e are circles differentiated by their size. The a is a large circle while the e is a small circle. The symbols for n and m are straight lines written forward, the n is a short straight line and the m is the long one. For t and d are upward-slanting straight lines differentiated by length. The t is a short slanting straight line while the d is the opposite of t. And lastly, the shorthand symbols for punctuation, paragraph, and capitalization are all simple to comprehend. This lesson is the most important because this is the foundation that can help us in our journey in office administration.

[@theageronimogracilla2631]

Gracilla, Althea Rose G, CBET-25-104P LESSON1- I've gained the knowledge that in stenography one should write base on what they hear, stenographer should also use proper proportion and positioning once they write to not confuse our readers, also in capitalization mark we should write it in the end of the outline.

[@JericHorca]

Horca, Jeric B. CBET-25-102E One thing I learned from lesson 1 "write what you hear" is that it clarifies how shorthand works, especially in terms of writing down what we heard. People can write down what they hear more easily because to the special symbols that stand in for alphabet and phoneme sounds.

[@thlv15]

Dumduma, Rheiza Mae C. I learn that shorthand differs from regular spelling, requiring close attention to similar strokes to avoid errors. The lesson covers how to distinguish letters like “A” from “EN&M” and “T” from “D,” and introduces new punctuation marks, including those for periods and paragraphs. It also explains how to indicate capitalized words with a special mark beneath them. The lesson emphasizes accuracy and helps develop a faster method of transcribing spoken language efficiently.

[@PrincessJerlynLucas-hq5yk]

My takeaways in this lesson from the concept itself, "Write what you here" you have to listen carefully and focus on what the speaker is saying. It taught me how to be more attentive in liste also it taught me to pay attention of alignment when we are writing in shorthand method and it allows you to write at a quicker speed than traditional handwriting. While, the difference between n and m and a and e I also learned in this lesson.

[@lyzittenegrite948]

My key takeaway from the lesson that I watched is the golden rule of "you write what you hear" It amazes me to hear different words but the same writing as the shorthand, I've got it noted that in shorthands we just write it based on what we hear, don't mind the words because it may confuse you. Furthermore, I've also learned that in shorthand, types of writings are almost the same but just different sizes which may be crucial to some if not paid attention carefully.

[@kimverlyvargas8318]

Vargas, Kimverly C. CBET-25-102E In lesson 1, "your write what you hear" the sounds of "A" and "E" are circles that are differentiated by size. The "A" is a large circle while "E" is a small circle. The sounds of "N" and "M" are straight lines. The "N" is a short straight lines while the "M" is a long straight line. The sounds of "T" and "D" are upward slanting lines. The "T" is a short slanting line, and "D" is long slanting line. Normally "t" is a half size of "d". In shorthand capitalization is indicated with a pair of tiny upward slanting straight symbols.

[@GIANCARLOGALOPE]

This my takeaways in Lesson 1. The expression "you write what you hear" that was used in this lesson truly caught my attention because shorthand spelling has silent letters and the other letters have a variety of sounds. When writing shorthand, it's essential to focus on the proper proportion and alignment. The arrangement, dimensions, and size of the strokes are crucial in shorthand. To write and read stenography, as well as to improve our hearing so that we can understand what we hear, is necessary for reading.

[@RamelCuray-o4f]

Cecelle A. Curay CBET-25-102E In lesson 1, the golden rule there is "You Write What You Hear" . In shorthand silent letters are omitted and other letters may have different sounds. The shorthand symbols for "a" and "e" are quite the same but different in sizes in strokes. Likewise, the "m" and "n" there are also the same straight lines but different sizes in strokes and it's easy to familiarise its strokes. The shorthand symbol of "d" and "t" is also the same but different in sizes of stroke. Lastly, the Punctuation, Paragraph and Capitalization. There are symbols used to represent the period and question mark. The Punctuation symbols are easy to remember for me since it is just a common symbols. Capitalization is indicated with a pair of tiny upward slanting straight symbols and placed underneath the word to be capitalized.

[@rosalprincesssarah6610]

In this lesson, I discovered that with Gregg Shorthand, you express the sounds of words rather than their full spellings. It's a phonetic shorthand method that uses symbols and strokes to record spoken words, making transcription and note-taking faster and more effective. This course forms the basis for learning Gregg Shorthand; subsequent discussions will provide more symbols and phonetic writing guidelines.

[@guevarraedmundj.8763]

A short introduction: What is Gregg Shorthand ? Gregg shorthand is a system of phonography, or a phonemic writing system, which means It records the sounds of the speaker (writing what you hear), not the English spelling. Key takeaways/learnings: In this lesson Silent letters are omitted and other letters have different sounds. You write what you hear refers to writing quickly using abbreviated symbols. I have realized that instead of writing letters and words out in long-hand using the traditional letters of the alphabet, this technique uses a variety of shortcuts such as writing "a" as a large circle, writing "e" as a small circle, writing "n" in a short straight line, writing "m" in a long straight line, writing "t" in slanting straight line, writing "d" in a long slanting straight line, As well as using punctuation marks, capitalization symbols and paragraph in a sentence. Special symbols are used to represent the period and question mark at the end of a sentence. An ordinary comma is used within a circle A sentence ending with a period or question mark may be the last sentence in a paragraph. If the last sentence in the paragraph ends with a period, the period is dropped and a paragraph symbol is used alone. If the last sentence ends with a question mark or an exclamation point, both the punctuation mark and the paragraph symbol are retained.

[@amierachelcantoria812]

Cantoria, Amie Rachel R. CBEA-25-103P In the lesson on "writing what you hear," the main point is to pay attention to the sounds you hear and how they can be written down. For example, the letter A is represented by a large circle, whereas the letter E is shown by a smaller circle. Letters like M, N, T, and D are distinguished by their length. This method helps in accurately capturing and differentiating the sounds you hear when writing.

[@cyrellkeithgazo918]

Lesson 1: Indicates how important the reading and listening skills are, how we must be detail oriented on every word that needs to be written. It teaches us how we must be careful when using lengths and sizes of each letter like the N and M , and on the letters that are being silenced when writing a word and terms in a shorthand way. We must be able to adapt that there are different symbols in shorthand than what we are used to like left and right parentheses, the comma, and so on.

[@KateAshleyYano]

My takeaways in this lesson is it helps me to understand how shorthand worked, specifically with the guidance of how to write what we heard. The unique type of symbols that represents sounds of an alphabet/ letters and punctuations is helpful to make it easier for people to write what they heard.

[@daphneymartos5809]

Lesson 1 taught me that it's essential to listen carefully in order to type the words that are spoken correctly; other letters are only silent in this lesson, so they don't matter. The proportion and alignment of stenographic writing are also discussed in this lecture so that the words can be made properly.

[@RoselleRedobante]

Redobante,Roselle,B. -CBET-25-103P This lesson taught me that Gregg Shorthand is about writing quickly by focusing on the sounds of words, not every single letter. I learned the symbols for some basic sounds like "a," "e," "n," "m," "t," and "d," and how to combine them into words. It's important to use the correct symbols because even a small change can change the meaning of a word.

[@johngenetia4568]

By watching the lesson 1 presentation, I learned that you don't have to write everything. For example, instead of writing N-A-M-E, you can convert it into shorthand and it will be spelled as N-A-M, and you won't have to write the letter E because the purpose of shorthand is to only write what you hear. I also learned that size does matter in shorthand because watching the clip when you intend to write M it should be longer and when you intend to write N it should be shorter so when you try to spell M-E-A-N and you tend to make the m shorter it will lead to misspelled so that's why I think size does matter in shorthand.

[@RishiaMaeAbad-uh4nb]

Lesson 1 Takeaways. First in shorthand silent letters are omitted and other letters may have different sounds. We have a concept of you write, what you hear. The proportion and allignment of every letters is very important we have to carefully wrote it for us to not write any word with different meaning. Outline is the symbols for each sound in a word that are joined together to form a word. The shorthand symbols for t and d are upward slanting straight lines differentiated by length because the short slanting straight line is t and the long slanting straight line is d most likely t is only half the length of d. In this lesson i also learned shorthand special symbols and capitalization with the proper way and techniques on how to write it.

[@angelannedomingo7082]

I learned from this lesson, In shorthand, has a concept of "you write what you hear," which means that we must listen carefully because each words may have a different sounds. I learned about the different sizes, shapes, symbols and the sounds of a, e, n, m, t, and d words.

[@AdrianAndres-kg3nf]

My takeaways in this lesson 1 is that you don't need to write the whole text or words some letters are silent means if you read the words without that letter its still the same it is "write what you hear" By doing it it will make you write faster than normal writing. I also learn about their symbols on how to write a, e, n, m, t, d, and punctuation and paragraph symbols I also learn how to write then if you combined it to make a words. It should be write according to its own symbols or else the meaning will change for example letter a its a big o but you wrote it as a small o because of that it will be read as e not a. That's all for this lesson 1,thank you for this lesson. 🙃

[@shielapajalla.06]

"You write what you hear" refers to recording what you hear or listen to in this video lesson. In order to accurately and effectively convert spoken words or audio content into written text, shorthand methods and transcription are used. Furthermore, learning how to write the symbols and pronounce the words in shorthand has been helpful to me/us. A is a crucial letter in the English language, yet in Gregg Shorthand, it is only the longhand A with the connecting stroke omitted. One more thing I learned is that minor vowels are omitted as an abbreviating concept, along with paragraph functions and symbols.

[@eversabiaga2628]

I learned in lesson 1 that it is important for us to learn how to make and use shorthand symbols and strokes correctly. We also need to remember the sizes and shapes so that we can write properly. "You write what you hear." We need to focus so that what we hear and what we write are correct when it comes to shorthand.

[@sofhiallagas]

Llagas, Sofhia Corrine A. CBET - 25 - 102E In lesson 1, I've learned that whole idea of shorthand is "write what you hear," and words do not have the same sound when heard. This shorthand alphabet is based upon letter and sound representations through unique size and shape, and sometimes even symbols-for example, a large circle for the letter "A" and a small one for the letter "E." The letters such as M, N, T, and D are based on length. That way, it would catch the sound heard during writing with more precision.

[@bjmontemayor3538]

MONTEMAYOR, BJ, S (CBET -25-103P) In this lesson I've learned that good and proper listening is very important, also with the familiarization on how to write letters in shorthand, for example the letter m and n, where m is a long line and n is a short line, very easy but sometimes confusing.

[@PesiganDonnHarold]

From the concept itself, "you write what you hear", everithing you write in shorthand all depends on what you hear or what a word sounds, ommiting silent letters. Pretty much like words in a dictionary for example, the way you pronounce words will be the basis of what you will write in shorthand. While in writing shorthand, proper size, length and proportion is crucial; writing a certain length will give different meaning. Length of symbol will differentiate the meaning of a word.

[@lourineflores6331]

This lesson emphasizes the importance of attentive listening and understanding silent letters in shorthand for accurate transcription. It covers writing a, e, n, m, t, and d words, capitalization, paragraph, and punctuation symbols. It emphasizes the importance of alignment, proportion, shape, sizes, and strokes in shorthand. It also explains that shorthand includes punctuation marks and a mark for capitalization. It emphasizes the need to practice reading and writing with shorthand to avoid confusion and make mistakes.

[@ClarkManuelAgustin]

Rawit, Clark Manuel Agustin CBET-104P • This first lesson has taught me the primary and the basic skills of being a stenography student, i was enlightened, i was elucidated, and i was also educated about the details of the lesson itself. In the first portion it said that silent letters are admitted and the other words might or may have different sounds, going on to the next are the first shorthand symbols i learned that "A" is equivalent to a big circle, "E" is equivalent to a small circle, "N" is equivalent to a short line, and "M" is for a long straight line, this portion made me amazed, for the second shorthand symbols i learned that "T" is equal to a short slanting upward-straight line together with letter "D" is equal to a long slanting upward-straight line. To be honest, in this first portion i easily understand that these symbols have different meanings and have different representations, this is something that really fascinates me. For the next portion which is the punctuation paragraph and capitalization symbols, this topic is very interesting and at the same time its confusing, but in the other side i learned that these punctuation paragraph symbols have dissimilar roles in the segment of stenography, i love the new look and the added patterns of these symbols. For the capitalization marks, it said that we need to put an equal look like symbol to represent its meaning and to be placed underneath the words. This video gives me a bunch of information that i can apply and uphold for our next discussion, Wonderfully and Gratefully Educated.

[@AnyaThyreseCaberte]

Caberte, Anya Thyrese F. CBET-25-103P * I’ve learned that it is very important to practice each letter so that it may avoid confusion. At some point, letters like 'a' and ‘e’ are very similar. They differ in size, but they are the same object. Same goes with ‘n’ and'm’. While ‘n’ is a short line,'m’ is longer than the 'n'. So it is very important to keep practicing. This video helps me as a student in writing and differentiating letters from the shorthand. Additionally, the sounds of T and D are very well taught; it is said that those letters in shorthand are the upward slanting straight lines. They only differ on their length; T is the short upward slanting line, while D is the longer one. Lastly, I learned the punctuation, paragraph, and symbol of capitalization.

[@princessanncirculado5391]

Princess Circulado CBEA 25 101E My key takeaway from Lesson 1 is that symbols can represent sounds, just like the symbols for "a," "e," "n," "m," "t," and "d" help us visually connect what we hear with how we write it. This concept is crucial for understanding shorthand, as it allows us to quickly write down words and phrases using symbols instead of full letters.

[@mayceloso6717]

In this lesson, I've learned that the concept of "you write what you hear" can help us understand the different sounds and words in shorthand spelling. Each symbol or stroke represents a sound, and it's written in a continuous manner to save time and effort. The system uses a combination of curves, lines, and hooks to represent different sounds and words. Additionally, it has shown how to properly use punctuation, paragraphs, and capitalization in symbols to make it more effective.

[@soberanojohncatetrella.4569]

From the concept of "express what you hear" in this session, I gathered that it's essential to meticulously listen to each word when employing shorthand since each word carries a unique sound and pronunciation. Shorthand, unlike conventional English spelling, prioritizes capturing these sounds rather than precise word spelling. Additionally, shorthand utilizes upward-slanting lines of varying lengths, along with distinct capitalization, paragraph, and punctuation markers. Lastly, I acquired knowledge about shorthand symbols for the letters a, e, m, n, t, and d.

[@kellypearl706]

My takeaways for lesson 1 highlight the absence of silent letters and the use of various letters to represent multiple sounds. Shorthand symbols are sized like longhand writing, connecting syllable symbols for word outlines. Shorthand uses capitalization, paragraphs, and punctuation techniques.

[@Jessicastotomas-k2i]

Jessica Sto.tomas Cbet-25-102-E This is my take aways in Lesson 1. Since there are silent letters in shorthand spelling and the other letters have varied sounds, the phrase "you write what you hear" that was used in this lesson really attracted my attention. It's crucial to pay attention to the right proportion and alignment when writing shorthand. Here in shorthand, the shape, sizes, and strokes are very important. We must practice writing and reading stenography, as well as developing our hearing so that we can comprehend what we hear, in order to read.

[@CiaraNodado]

Nodado, Leonizel Ciara A. CBET-25-101E My takeaways from Gregg Shorthand Lesson 1, "You Write What You Hear," are that the system emphasizes writing based on the sounds of words rather than their spellings. In shorthand, we skip silent letters and use symbols to match the sounds of the spoken words. For instance, the word "name" is written as "nam" in shorthand because the "e" is not pronounced. This method allows for faster and more efficient note-taking. Practicing this approach helps us become better at recording spoken language quickly and accurately.

[@JayLanceAtendido-lj4rp]

My takeaways/learnings From the idea of "write what you hear" itself in this session, I learnt that it's critical to pay great attention to each word when utilizing shorthand because each one has a distinct sound and pronunciation. Shorthand, in contrast to regular English spelling, emphasizes capturing those sounds over accurate word spelling. Shorthand also uses upward-slanting lines that are defined by length, as well as distinctive capitalization, paragraph, and punctuation indicators. Lastly, i also learned the symbols a,e,m,n,t and d

[@AngelaAromin]

Aromin, Princess Angela I. CBEA - 25 - 101E LESSON 1- I learned that the concept of " you write what you hear " means focusing on the sounds of a word rather than spelling out each individual letter. Instead, you write based on the sounds you hear. I also became me familiar with shorthand symbols or strokes for the sounds of A, E, N, M, T, and D. For example, the stroke for "D" should be longer than the "T." If the stroke for "D" is made too short, it can result in errors, such as misspellings. Proper alignment and proportion are essential. Additionally, I learned the shorthand symbols for punctuation, paragraphs, and capitalization. Overall, the video clearly explained Lesson 1 of Gregg Shorthand, showing how important it is to keep the stroke sizes and alignments accurate.

[@JHEMLYNMAEBEBIT]

Bebit, Jhemlyn Mae C. My takeaways from Lesson 1 on this course are the following: First, from the phrase “You write what you hear” it means that you only write what you hear, not what you know is the spelling of a word especially that there are instances that some letters are silent. Second, knowing how to write the shorthand symbols for a, e, n, m, t, and d are important since they are frequently used in words. And knowing what their different strokes, shapes, sizes, and curves are really efficient when it comes to applying or writing shorthand. Lastly, I also have learned that knowing the punctuation, paragraph, and capitalization symbols are also significant to make your writing good. Since there is a pause, end, questions, or any other expression that you will write on your writing. In writing punctuation and paragraph symbols, you must put at the end of the sentence. While in capitalization, you must put the little hyphen on it close enough to the body of the outline.

[@MycaJoyTibus]

Tibus, Myca Joy B. CBET - 25 - 101E My takeaways in this lesson which is Lesson 1 is you should always listen to the words carefully so you will write the correct words or outline in shorthand because you will right what you hear. Such as when the word is "name" you don't usually directly write "name" only the words what you really hear which is N-A-M. Don't gate mistaken, A letter "a" is a large circle while the letter "e" is small circle. Each letters have a proper outline and proportion so you really need to write it correctly to lessen your mistakes.

[@GeneroseSulanguit]

My takeways for this lesson 1 I learned about the different sizes, shapes, symbols and the sounds of a, e, n, m, t, and d words. and the "You write what you hear" it is helpful to write words in Shorthand form and it is good because it shortens the writing but we need to practice our hearing so we can achieve this properly.

[@dinocuyagbo9080]

My video takeaways in this video or lesson are "You write what you hear", In this lesson 1, these are the most important in shorthand. 'Cause one wrong move or wrong hearing causes damage in the word or they're wrong. That's why you're very attentive to what you hear. And also, my learning in this lesson is in the shorthand, which allows you to write faster and with more vocabulary words.

[@nerissacalalang5714]

This is my take aways in Lesson 1. Since there are silent letters in shorthand spelling and the other letters have varied sounds, the phrase "you write what you hear" that was used in this lesson really attracted my attention. It's crucial to pay attention to the right proportion and alignment when writing shorthand. Here in shorthand, the shape, sizes, and strokes are very important. We must practice writing and reading stenography, as well as developing our hearing so that we can comprehend what we hear, in order to read.

[@paulamaegallardo3463]

My learning about the concept of "what you write is what you hear", is
You need to listen carefully to the sound of every word because it depends on the sound of what you write. We also need to expand our vocabulary and check grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Furthermore, if you write a word, there are silent letters and replaced letters. In Gregg's shorthand, there are words that are not pronounced and are omitted. For example, in the word name, we need to remove the letter E because it is not pronounced, and in replacing letters, there are words that we need to replace based on the sound. For example, in navy, the letter y sounds like e, so we need to replace the letter E in Y. Every letter has a respective symbol, but always remember that you need to practice reading and writing with shorthand to avoid confusion. Always remember their different sizes, shapes, and lengths. In addition, we need to follow the exact outline because if we don't, we will make mistakes and it will have a different pronunciation.

[@AndreaMaeOlivar-hc5fu]

My takeaways and learnings in this lesson 1 are, about the you write is what you hear, in this discussion are about the silent letters when you write a words using long hand and short hand symbols , and showed about how to write a shorthand base on the letters given.The others I learned are how to write a A,E,N,& M, and about the longhand basic marks punctuations, and also about the Capitalization marks. That's all my takeaways and learnings in this lesson 1

[@BEDONIARHEAMAEI-f7s]

Bedonia, Rhea Mae I. CBET-25-104P Lesson 1 What I learned in Lesson 1 is the pronunciation of letters. In shorthand, some letters are silent, such as in N-A-M-E where the letter E is silent, so it sounds like N-A-M. The outline, on the other hand, is a symbol of each letter combined together.

[@caoileczarynahp.8255]

In lesson 1, it helps us to understand the different symbols, and it also helps us to write it more easily through symbols. When we master these symbols, it will help us quickly write down what we hear. For example, when we are dictating, it will be easier to write because there are symbols representing the sounds.

[@rexzonlouieledres]

Ledres, Rexzon Louie E. CBEA - 25 - 104P LESSON 1 - I noticed that "you write what you hear" involves focussing on the sounds of a word instead of spelling precisely each individual letter. Instead, we write according to the noises you hear. I also got to know with the shorthand symbols or strokes for the sounds A, E, N, M, T, and D. Example the shorthand stroke for "N" is a very short forward straight line.While the shorthand stroke for "M" is a longer forward straight line. And also i notice the symbols of punctuation, capitalization, and paragraphs.

[@elladuyaguit]

My takeaways or learnings in Lesson 1: Symbols represent sound, and the concept of symbols representing sounds is crucial in writing. Each letter or symbol corresponds to a specific sound in the spoken language. Then, write what you hear, or "you write what you hear." When writing, it is important to write down the sounds rather than the visual representation of words. This means capturing the phonetic elements of speech accurately. Next, symbols for common sounds says that lesson 1 introduces symbols for the sounds of a, e, n, m, t, and d. These symbols are used as building blocks for constructing words and sentences. Shorthand symbols for punctuation show that Lesson 1 covers shorthand symbols for punctuation marks, allowing for efficient and concise writing. It helps indicate pauses, breaks, and emphasis in written sentences. Also, shorthand symbols for paragraphs and capitalization indicate that, in addition to punctuation, shorthand symbols are introduced to denote paragraph breaks and capitalization. This enhances clarity and organisation in written work. In short, mastering the concept of symbols representing sounds and writing what you hear accurately is fundamental to developing strong writing skills.

[@merrylrivera]

My takeaways/learnings To begin, lesson 1 of the Gregg Shorthand, tackled four different subtopics including "concepts of you write what you hear, symbols representing sounds, symbols for the sound of a,e,n,m,t and d, and the symbols for punctuation, paragraph, and capitalization. In the "you write what you hear concept" I learned that in shorthand the spelling of english words isn't written the same as how it's spelled in english words. Because you're keeping only the essential vowels and consonants in the spelling. For instance, the word "name", in english it's spelled and pronounced as a name with an e, but in shorthand, the letter "e" is silent making it sound like N-A-M. Due to this, I learned that we must pay attention to the speaker as we're about to practice not just our writing skills but also our hearing skills; as the spelling of some words depends on what you hear. Thus, a writer must pay attention carefully to the speaker in order to write information accurately. Moving on, I also learned that each letter has its respective size and symbols. So it's crucial to familiarize yourself and to know how to write those. Also, one of the most important things that I learned is that whenever we are going to write in shorthand, we must always observe the proper proportion and alignment of each symbol because each letter has its size, symbols, as well as length. However, their differences don't affect them at all because some words are almost the same as the others, the only difference that they have is the size and the length of strokes; making it easier to remember. Furthermore, the punctuation, paragraph, and even the capitalization were also mentioned, making me understand that some of them aren't far from the long hand since some of them were spelled in longhand but written in a different approach. Thus, we must familiarize ourselves with the basics because it will serve as our foundation for honing our skills.

[@seven_kie]

FRANCISCO, JAWORSKIE E. CBET - 25 - 101E LESSON 1 | TAKEAWAYS "write what you hear" i learned that when writing the word you hear, basically you just need to write the letters that you heard for example "RIGHT sounds RIT" (silent GH) then write it down in steno, and when we do the outlining we need to observe proper proportion and alignment.

[@sandae]

My take aways from Lesson 1 that discuss about the concept of “ Write what you hear ”, were in some english words that has a silent letters can be omitted and other letter may have different sounds that is why it is important that you observe and be sensitive in some words so that you will know what shorthand symbols we can use. Then when you already know the shorthand spelling you can now proceed to write the symbols like on the sounds of a, e, n, m, t, and d also the shorthand symbols for punctuation, paragraph, and capitalization.

[@tomindugsaniat.9604]

In this video, I've learned that in every word there is an exact sound and spelling. We should listen carefully for us to be able to write and transcribe the word correctly. I also learned the different stroke and alignment of shorthand method. We should analyze the strokes and symbols for us to know the difference of it beacuse it's kinda similar to each stroke and symbols.

[@AngelaCabiles]

Cabiles, Angela L. CBEA - 25 - 101E My main takeaways from Lesson 1 are that shorthand works by writing the sounds you hear, with symbols representing those sounds directly. By focusing on key sounds like a, e, n, m, t, and d, we can improve our ability to transcribe quickly and accurately. It's also important to use the correct symbols because even a small mistake can change the meaning of a word or a sentence. Learning the shorthand punctuation, which is similar to regular punctuation, helps keep everything clear. I also learned that it is also important to maintain the right proportions and alignments for readability. Silent letters are ignored, which makes the writing faster. The lesson also covers how to show capitalization, which is useful for structuring the sentences correctly. Overall, Lesson 1 teaches that shorthand uses symbols to represent sounds, focusing on accuracy by writing what you hear. Correct symbols, punctuation, and alignment are crucial for clarity, and silent letters are simplified for efficiency.

[@roseannelopez2271]

Lopez, Rose Anne C. CBET-25-103P What i learned in lesson 1 "You write What You Hear" in shorthand is that silent letters are omitted while the other letters have various sounds for each letter. In shorthand each letter has its own sizes and length. Where the period, comma and others should be placed. Moreover, this lesson 1 will demonstrate us how to have the proper alignment of letters, punctuation, paragraphs, and symbols.

[@nyro_lee1259]

Mioten, Lenny Rose P. CBET-25-102E Lesson 1 have taught me the shorthand symbols for some letters like a, e, m, and n, and also show how to write them. For example, the shorthand symbol for a and e is both circles, the only difference is that the letter "a" is a big circle while "e" is a small circle. We need to consider the concept "write what you hear" because there are some letters in a word that wasn't pronounced and those are the silent letters. All of the silent letters that wasn't pronounced will be disregarded.

[@geraldalmoguera3937]

In Lesson 1, we place great emphasis on the importance of honing our reading and listening skills and paying close attention to every word we write. We stress the significance of being particular about the size and length of different letters, such as the N and M, as well as when abbreviating words and phrases. As these fundamental concepts will serve as the cornerstone for future lessons, it is critical to master them early on. It is essential to solidify these basics before moving on to more advanced topics.

[@benedicestranero6586]

CBET 25-101E Estrañero, Benedic P. In Lesson 1, I learned the importance of listening carefully when using Gregg shorthand because the focus is on capturing what you hear, not necessarily the correct spelling. The key is mastering the strokes and alignment, as accuracy is crucial. Punctuation marks and paragraph symbols differ from longhand writing, so it's essential to understand their shorthand equivalents. By refining the proper use of strokes, punctuation, and alignment, your shorthand writing becomes more efficient and precise.

[@KrisjhayDelacruz]

Dela Cruz, Katherine CBET-25-103P My takeaways from this lesson uhm this video dives into capturing sounds as you hear them. It starts with symbols for sounds like "a," "e," "n," "m," "t," and "d," emphasizing that shorthand represents sounds rather than individual letters. It also covers symbols for punctuation, paragraph breaks, and capitalization, making shorthand a truly comprehensive system.

[@markclaveriapogi]

My takeaways in this lesson is , it actually revolves on the statement " you write what you hear " , because in Shorthand Writing you need to listen on how word sounds like , because we can use this how we are going to transcribe a particular word using Shorthandm Additional to that , in Shorthand Writing , silent letters are omitted . Next , I also learned about the symbols of letters such as a , e , m , n , t and d .The different symbols that each letter has. Plus , the punctuation marks that we can use in writing a statement. Lastly , I also learned how to use capitalizations and
