A repeatable method

Make each passage useful

Don’t stop after deciphering it once. The second and third readings are where hesitant recognition begins to become automatic.

01

Read the Teeline

Work through the shorthand directly, preferably aloud, without looking at the transcript.

02

Transcribe when useful

Type or write the passage in longhand if you want to check every word or prepare for an exam.

03

Check the transcript

Reveal the English only after your attempt. Mark errors and note outlines that caused hesitation.

04

Resolve difficult outlines

Use the Professional Teeline Dictionary or return to the relevant principle.

05

Read it again

Reset the timer and repeat the same passage. Aim for easier recognition, not rushed guessing.

Full-length practice

Build towards exam conditions

The short exercises develop recognition. Exam-format passages add the sustained reading and transcription work needed under time pressure.
