Can you teach me shorthand?

Shorthand is an older system of symbolic notation used for rapidly writing information. It enables one to quickly communicate ideas and notes, such as during a lecture. Shorthand is normally written with a pen or pencil on paper and consists of a combination of symbols, abbreviations and short words that represent individual letters and ideas. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer of "yes" or "no" since learning shorthand requires practice and patience. I recommend learning shorthand from resources like books and websites or by taking a formal course. With hard work, anyone can learn shorthand and be able to take notes more quickly and effectively.
