There are way too many red flags here, and nothing to suggest you would get any more out of this course than you would from reading a manual.
The only benefit I see is the promise of "audio activities," but you can practice shorthand with any audio you'd like.
You should really get yourself a book to learn Teeline the right way. I recommend this one. I assume you're just using whatever free resources you can find. Many of your letters are joined incorrectly and a lot of letter combos, like "tr", have their own symbols. In this case, a long horizontal line. These increase your speed a lot. Here's what it looks like using some shortcuts.
Spoilers, for anyone who cares....
> You have my heart
> You had it from the start
> I love you [from afr?]
Spez: Just realized that last word is probably “afar.”
If you like it, you should definitely obtain the book. The author gives rules for writing suffixes like -ing, -ingly, and some very quirky rules for omitting letters. Totally worth having the book if you're attracted to the system!
It's available as an Amazon Kindle book for $3

Read and learn.
Tres's other book is also fantastic, and smaller. The hardcover printings are on high-quality paper and binding, and physically pleasant to hold and read.
I'm sorry, yes. I was referring to the system semi-explained here, which I believe is this one. It got me wondering if there are other alphabetic systems, and how they compare. Thank you for the in depth replies.
I have no idea what the best for you is, I am by no means an expert.
I have started learning Teeline for myself. The only resource you need is the Teeline gold book here

I bought a deck of blank playing cards (specifically these) and then put the shorthand stroke on one side and the translation on the back. Then I shuffle them (either way up), pick a card and remember what's on the other side.
I've been learning Pitman for a couple of weeks now. I thought it would be a fun thing to pick up over a weekend or two until I actually started learning and realised how complicated it is. I got the basic consonants down in a few hours, but the vowels and shorthand words are taking much longer, and the random hooks, halves and doubles are being ignored for the time being.
