Forum du petit sténographe

Merci beaucoup Fanchon! Merci! Smile

Denise,

If you're looking for generic speedwriting, may I suggest Forkner Shorthand? It was the primary speedwriting system taught in Canada and the USA years ago. It adapts very well to French, ...

Duployean,

As promised, just wanted to let you know that half of my book order arrived from Montreal. Had quite a surprise too, as I thought I was ordering just the "Elementary Course in 6 ...

Merci beaucoup, Duployean! Smile

It's good to know that unlike Gregg, Duploye's method and the other French methods lend themselves so well to the resilience of meaning.

That was also a fascinating ...

While I'm impatiently awaiting the arrival of my Perrault-Duploye books from Montreal, Smile

Duployean,

I forgot to mention in my last post that I would be very interested in any insights you could provide on abbreivation in Duployean shorthand. I am impressed that you have 40 years ex ...
