Shorthand Day 1



When learning a new language, you might struggle with spelling and letters. However, with shorthand, the focus is on pronunciation and phonetics, not spelling. Silent letters are eliminated. For example:

  • tomb becomes toom

  • knee becomes nee

  • mail becomes mal

  • name becomes naam

  • pole becomes pol

In shorthand, characters are symbols and notations:

Symbol + Sound = Shorthand

In this chapter, we will learn about two types of strokes:

  • Light stroke: Represents a light sound

  • Dark stroke: Represents a heavy sound

Tip for Beginners:

  • Start with a pencil instead of a pen to practice light and dark strokes.

  • To improve speed, use a broad-ruled notebook. Plain pages are not recommended for beginners.

Now, let's dive into the characters of shorthand. Practice the following letters horizontally in a rough notebook repeatedly until they are ingrained in your mind. Avoid practicing vertically, as it can restrict your speed. Speed is crucial in mastering shorthand.

Homework Time!

1. Practice:

  • Practice the shorthand letters as much as you can.

2. Conversion Exercise:

  • Convert the following sentences from longhand to shorthand.
  • Then, read the shorthand sentences back in longhand without referring to the original sentences.

Exercise:

(These questions are taken from the Pitman Shorthand Book)

1. Job Day, take the cape to the boat today.

2. He paid Joe Cope to take the boat.

3. Take the cocoa to the page on the boat.

4. Joe, a joke! Take an eight-page ode on the cake to Jake today.

5. Take the page to the oak.

6. He towed the boat to the oak to-day.


Great job on completing today's lesson and exercises! Keep practicing to master shorthand. Stay tuned for more lessons, tips, and exercises in upcoming posts.

Which B.Tech CSE specialization is the best?

  I've just finished my 12th standard and sought advice from all my teachers, including the principal, on what course to pursue. Here's their input: Which course should I take? They suggested prioritizing Computer Science (CSC) as the first choice, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) as the second choice, and other options as the third. They explained that CSC tends to be easier than ECE, often leading to a higher CGPA. Additionally, they emphasized that recruiters typically prefer candidates from the CSC branch over others. Can I take specialization courses? While specialization courses aren't discouraged, they stress the importance of grasping the basics first. They recommended pursuing an undergraduate degree in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) before considering specialization at the postgraduate level. They pointed out that many specialization courses are relatively new, and only a few researchers specialize in them at top institutions like II...

Why did Draupadi have 5 husbands in the Mahabharata?

I see many people answering that it's because of Kunti’s command, but it's actually completely wrong. When Arjuna won Draupadi and brought her home in the Potter’s street, Kunthi was in the kitchen when the brothers arrived. Bhima, wanting to sound lighthearted, cried from the door- step, "Mother, come out, see what Arjuna w has brought today." Without coming out, Kunthi answered from the kitchen, "Very well, share it among yourselves." ."Oh!" exclaimed Bhima. "Oh! Oh!" cried everyone, and the loudest exclamation was from Arjuna, who had won the bride.The mother came out to see why there was such an uproar and cried, "Oh! Who is this you have won, Arjuna?" She was full of joy, and clasped the girl's hand. "Oh! Arjuna, you have won this-bride, this Princess, this lovely creature!.”.Kunthi tried to make light of her own advice and said with a simper, "Of course, I did not know what you meant when you said you had bro...
