How to Learn Gregg Shorthand - Getting Started

This is a Gregg shorthand tutorial that gives you an overview of the alphabet, and eases you into the system in a low pressure environment.

When I was in high school I took 2 years of Gregg Shorthand... eons ago... I mastered it and could transcribe at 100 wpm with zero errors. Needless to say, I'm much much older now and never used shorthand during my career (electric typewriters and dictation machines were the new thing). I think I will take this up as a hobby again. I loved learning it the first time. Glad I found this channel.

I remember back in the 90s my mom being on an important phone call and writing notes. When I looked at the notes I thought she was scribling nonsense. Then she read the "scribbles" to someone on another phone call. Needless to say that peaked my curiosity and she then explained a bit of shorthand to me.

Tried to learn Gregg shorthand when I was, like, 15 but there weren't any good resources online at the time. Now all these years later, YouTube recommends me this. I think I'm gonna have to try learning it again! Thank you for making this!

My mother was a secretary and took dictation often while working at a local college. before i left for college she taught me Gregg Shorthand to easily take notes. It worked great however in the 25 years since i have used it rarely. and forgotten much of it. it is nice to see people are keeping it alive. So, it isn't lost. Thank You.

I may never need or use shorthand, but they was the most relaxing lesson in anything I’ve ever seen/heard.

Yooo this is crazy they dont even tell students about this anymore.. we need to bring this back as a skill

I'm currently reading Dracula by Bram Stroker, and reading it has made me want to learn shorthand. Really glad to see new videos beings uploaded on the topic.

Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for making these videos, ive wanted to learn shorthand ever since i was a kid because I saw my grandma using it. I couldn't ever find anyone to teach me and when I looked it up everything just overwhelmed my kid brain. The way you explained it in this video made it easy to understand and gives me hope that i can finally figure it out and learn it.

This is the first video or information on shorthand I've ever seen, ever since having heard it in an animated movie years ago.

I'm so definitely getting into this

Best lessons as a refresher for me on here. So glad I found your channel. I was a legal secretary and want to brush up on my shorthand because I always enjoyed it. Thank you!

When the world needed him the most he disappeared... Please make more videos, nobody teaches shorthand as good as you do

I’m in high school and although I write quite quickly I always run out of energy + time to focus on writing and what the teachers are saying, so I decided to learn shorthand to make school easier. tysm for your video :)

As a high school student taking lecture based classes this will literally save my life. I’m so excited to learn ❤❤

Loved that someone started a channel on Gregg Shorthand. Editing is also good.

Great idea about the graph paper! I learned in the 80’s and still use a steno pad to practice every so often but life gets in the way before I can get proficient. After all these years, I still have my little Gregg Shorthand books. 🙌🏼 😊

Would love to be proficient again for note taking during meetings @ work.

As a machine stenographer, I knew some of our theories of how to form words were similar; so I've always been curious how shorthand works. Thanks for the demo!
