Find a local community lectures
- libraries sometimes have lectures or presentations
- online lists
- classified sections of newspapers, websites, etc.,
- weekly newspaper, those free ones, might have a list
Sometimes you can sit in college classes/lectures.
Take down what is being said. Don't stop after only 5 minutes, keep going. To make it harder, if you need it, add gestures and other notes in parenthesis (laughter) (clapping) (booing).

Sometimes my work will have a "lecture" of some sort (a presentation, a fun little item). I didn't bring my steno pad to one this week because I thought I'd need the book they were discussing, but I didn't need the book. Next time I'll bring a steno pad just in case.

If you have kids, think about kids "lectures" or presentations at libraries. Bring your notebook to write down what is being said. This might be easier for beginners because it would most likely be with simple vocabulary.

TedTalks on YouTube has a wealth of lectures on a large variety of topics that could be used for shorthand and note-taking practice.
