[@iiFerd]

tbh I started learning because I was bored and this gave me even more motivation to continue

[@eylulncevik]

how is it going

[@7thsky585]

[@eadecamp]

I haven't used shorthand since 1985, but I'd like to learn again. Thank you for posting this.

I’m an artist and I’m starting to teach myself so I can write down ideas for scenes I want to paint. I write in the form of stories and I struggle with adhd so removing distracting tech while also writing even faster is a win win for me. Plus I’m work is so heavily influence by by the early 1900s-1960s it just feels very on brand for me lol

[@shorthandist]

[@noeller.schafer8304]

I've been learing for a couple weeks now and have been really enjoying it! The reasons you listed are perfect😂👍🏼 Love your videos!

[@7651Ramya]

Did you take any course to learn this?

[@zachariasmanning2071]

I run a lot of dnd, and this is the perfect system for taking notes. You need to be quick with it, since a lot happens very quickly, and the obscurity makes it so the players don't read something they're not supposed to

[@shorthandist]

That's a great idea!

[@karenharris722]

I took shorthand in high school and did use it when I worked in advertising. I still take notes in it and have kept my books.

[@notmebutyou8350]

I studied Gregg shorthand back in 1993 and absolutely loved it! I need to get back into it. My favorite part of learning it was the brief forms. They are so much fun to write and time savers!

[@nayber2352]

"hey can I see your notes real quick?"

[@corenebrown7631]

Shorthand is sooo fun. 😂

[@EquinePassage]

here i am in 2024 learned about shorthand writing from a Nancy Drew game and got intrested and I might learn myself before getting into collage to help me take notes

[@shorthandist]

[@heemmaanav5915]

If I can learn the rubix cube I can learn this. Both are pointless

[@damian_madmansnest]

Both are immensely gratifying.

[@7thsky585]

This is realms more usedul

[@therickestpicklerick]

The mind is a terrible thing to waste.

[@damian_madmansnest]

@@therickestpicklerick Mind does not waste from learning, rather it develops.

[@therickestpicklerick]

@@damian_madmansnest absolutely. That's why the Rubik's Cube and Shorthand are not pointless.

[@jeremygalloway1348]

Seems you'd confuse yourself until you've been in practice for a decade...

[@geneticfreak465]

If you have monetary goals it will take less then 6 months

[@pauljensen5699]

I am familiar, though by no means proficient, with Korean, Japanese, and even Chinese style of writing. Shorthand just strikes me as very poorly written cursive writing. For the effort, I rather learn a foreign language and actually be understood by a larger group, (and understand as well).

[@lamalamalex]

@@pauljensen5699to hold the view that shorthand is just poorly written cursive, is to completely misunderstand the entire point of shorthand. It is NOT in any way cursive writing. It is stenography, not calligraphy. The main goal is to have the hand match the speed of the mind. I have often faced the cumbersome problem of my mind running off with ideas that my hand could never hope to catch up and I forget. With this, I can keep pace. The result? Fast, coherent, organized, and easily perceptible process of thought right in the page.

[@lamalamalex]

It’s not difficult at all once you crack open a book on it.

[@damian_madmansnest]

@@lamalamalex Gregg in particular is pretty calligraphic in nature. It’s like a Spencerian sister script.
