How to type

Before you start learning the lessons, read the article Proper Typing Basics or How to type correctly.

Basic principles of blind and fast typing.

If you already have some typing skills, you can try to compete with other participants in online speed typing. Just join the games or create your own and improve your skills!

This is the first lesson that will help you to get used to keyboard.

In the first few lessons we'll learn the middle row of the keyboard (ASDF...). You need to place your fingers on the keyboard so that your fingers slightly touch the keys but not press them. Your forefingers should be placed on the keys F and J (for your left and right hand accordingly). There are bumps on the keys on many types of keyboards, so you can find them without looking.

In this lesson you will type just with your left hand. Place your fingers on the keyboard according to the scheme:

  • A - pinky
  • S - ring
  • D - middle
  • F - forefinger
    • We'll also use the spacebar in this lesson. But you should press it with your right thumb. Remember that you should always press the spacebar using your other hand of previous typed symbol. In other words, you need to divide the keyboard into 2 parts; if you press the spacebar after a symbol in the right part, use your left thumb and vice versa. For example, the spacebar should be pressed with the left thumb after the letter J and with the right one after the letter R. Many people press the spacebar using the finger only of one hand, but if you really want to succeed in speed typing, you need to use your both hands.

      So it’s enough for theory, let’s get practicing!

      After you click “Start lesson” you will have to type sequences of letters ASDF and the spacebar. Do not worry about the speed, try not to make mistakes and not to look at the keyboard.
