1. Shorthand is written by sound.

Shorthand to save time. It is necessary to ignore those

letters that aren't pronounced.

2. The consonants are arranged in pairs.

According to their similarity of

sound K and G. Distinguished by a difference in

length. The characters for the consonants

in this lesson are derived from this elliptical figure:

From left to right; TH and T and D.

These abbreviations are called brief forms.

Some of these signs represent two and even three words;

R representsARE, OUR, HOUR.

Ing (a DOT AT THE END of a word expresses - ING)

Is expressed by a large circle.

Let us examine more closely the curve letters K, G, R, and L.

You should practice then without the slightest hesitation .

The strokes begins and ends on the same plane.

K ,G,R, L would rest on a table. K and R same size correctly written when the.

G and L same size paper is turned upside down.

The sounds represented by lines are N, M, T, and D:

 Even though d is about twice the length.

It should only go up about two thirds of the line of writing.
