How does the English typing course work?
There are 10 lessons. Lessons 1 to 3 teach the keys row by row, in small letters. Lesson 4 adds capital letters inside names and sentences. Lessons 5 to 7 move on to words, sentences and paragraphs. Lessons 8 to 10 cover numbers, punctuation and symbols, always mixed with ordinary letters.
You type on your normal keyboard. The lessons use the standard US QWERTY layout, and the on-screen keyboard shows the next key.
Where do my fingers go when I type?
- Left fingers rest on A S D F. Right fingers rest on J K L ;.
- Your index fingers sit on F and J. Feel for the small bumps.
- Both thumbs rest on the space bar.
- Reach up or down with the same finger, then return to the home row.
- For Shift keys, hold Shift with the little finger of the opposite hand.
