Shorthand notes en español
While watching the ¡SpanishDict! videos, I like taking notes. I use Gregg Shorthand (which I learned 100 years ago in high school) in order to keep up with what's being said. Gregg Shorthand is the one that looks like 'squiggly' lines representing words and letters (as you "hear" them).
Ex:
) = have (or the letter V )
( = by (or the letter B )
/ = it (or the letter T )
etc. Anyway...
Yesterday, for the first time and without even thinking about it, I found myself using my Shorthand en español! 
I couldn't believe it!
I've often wished I could be like some of you who sometimes dream in Spanish...I've wondered what that experience is like. So when this happened to me, I felt I could finally relate to what dreaming in Spanish must be like! 
How strange...and yet, How Exciting!

Now do you believe that all of those words that you once had learned, but never can recall or grammar rules that you never think to apply are still buried somewhere inside your brain waiting to surface if you could just relax and think in Spanish rather than translate.
