The Teeline Project | Modern shorthand, experiments and culture

The Teeline Project

Teeline, with its eyebrow raised.

Modern language, music, culture and the occasional unnecessary experiment, all put through the Teeline system.

Two sides of the same shorthand

Serious about Teeline. Not always serious with it.

Professional Teeline

Structured learning, careful explanations, reading, writing, dictation, speed and exam preparation. This is where the system is taught clearly and in a useful order.

The Teeline Project

The curious side. Topical outlines, music, modern vocabulary, cultural references and ideas that are useful, surprising or simply too enjoyable not to try.

What happens here.

The Project is not another course. It is a place to notice where Teeline still fits, where it bends elegantly and where it may need a little persuasion.

01

For no particular reason

Topical words and phrases rendered in Teeline because the moment is calling for it.

Topical
02

Guess the song/quote

A familiar lyric, title or fragment written in Teeline. Recognition first; reveal later.

Music
03

Names in the news

People and places currently appearing everywhere, rendered in Teeline. Suggestions for the next victim always welcome.

Topical
04

Modern words

What happens when Teeline meets downloads, livestreams, algorithms, safeguarding, tax returns and social media?

Experiment
05

Does it Teeline?

Unusual words, clunky phrases and linguistic obstacles put through the system to see what happens. [Spoiler: yes it does.]

Challenge

Featured experiment

Read it before you reveal it.

The best Teeline puzzles make you use recognition, context and memory together. Guess the song turns a familiar lyric or title into a small reading challenge, with the answer held back until you have committed yourself.

It is reading practice, but with distracting music.
