Practice Video: What Is A Tort?

I found some short videos, that are less than 60 seconds, that discuss the law. These are great practice videos to get legal terms to become automatic in your typing. Because they are quick blurbs, they can be repeated several times and help to reinforce some legal briefs and phrases.

This video explains what a tort is:

Here are some briefs from the video:

tort= TORT
wrongdoing= WROG
damage= DAJ
punishable= P-RBL
threatening= THRENG
perpetrator= PRERPT
compensation= KPENGS
emotional= MAOERBL
distress= SDRES
assault= SAULT
is a= SA
can be= K-B
in order= NORD
as a result= SRULT

Practice Video: As A Man Thinketh Part 1

Thinking positively is such an important factor to what we do as stenographers. Due to this fact, I think that practicing to material that reinforces positive thinking is very beneficial to us on a variety of levels. Therefore, I will be regularly posting the type of material that will, hopefully, keep our attitudes upbeat, as well as enhance our typing skills.

Love, Speed & Accuracy,

Elsie Villega
