Sorry for the nonsense words to come, but there's only so much you can do with only 4 letters and the space bar! Make sure you are going slow enough to prevent mistakes. Do it forwards & backwards, and inside-out! Take a moment to tap your left hand fingers on your desk/table/thigh while saying the letters they will be typing (a, s, d, f), as in the above diagram. For practical purposes, you can consider yourself having mastered an exercise only if you are able to type three reloaded screens of exercises in a row in under 60 seconds each, with no errors, confidently.Speed means nothing certainty and correctness are what's important. Remember, shoot for no errors!! That is the most important thing right now.To do the same again (which you should do if you make ANY mistakes), press the "Go again!" button that appears when you finish.If you err, it won't, and you will hear an error sound. If you type correctly, the letter will turn to grey. Press the "Click here to start" button, then type what you see on the screen.Here are the instructions all the exercises in all the lessons work this way, so read carefully: Before typing even a single letter, please keep ALL of the Principles for Effective Learning in mind. These are typed with the left-hand pinky, ring finger, middle finger and index finger respectively. The thumbs basically float comfortably in the air when not in use.īelow is your first interactive exercise based on the four left-hand home keys: ASDF. Most people probably use only one thumb, the one on their dominant hand. The space bar is pressed with either thumb. Practice taking your hands away and placing them on these keys several times, until you can do it confidently, and without looking. It is very important for your fingers to be able to go to these keys at any time, at a split second's notice. Place your fingers gently on their respective keys now, light enough so that you are not actually pressing them! This is where your fingers "hang out" when they're not typing, and where they "spring" back to just after they have finished typing another key somewhere else. This is of course to help you quickly find the home row when you're not looking at the keyboard. If you have a relatively recent keyboard, it more than likey has some sort of bump you can feel on the F and J keys, where your index fingers go. If you're still having problems, you can still access the old, Flash-based version of the course here. This is a VERY worthwhile investment to learn touch typing, a skill which will last you a lifetime.
