New Subscriber here, Thanks for your lessons.

Hello! Could you, please, answer three questions? 1. Should our 3 fingers stay at the home row, when the index finger is typing 4 and 5, for example, or they can move up with the index finger and return to the home row? 2. Should we look at the keys at the very beginning or on the screen?)3. Do you recommend to type in everyday life with the correct fingers while studying, or we can use index fingers for all letters, as we used to, until we learn blind typing? Thank you!

[MMMmMMMaw]

it's just crazy how 11 years later the lesson 2 is released..

[Danieljames]

thank you so much ive learn a lot from this

[anthonybutto]

That's all good, Anson! But, with the Shift keys, in this lesson, we were only told and shown to use Shift keys for key letters. But, with key numbers, we were not told and shown to use Shift keys for key numbers in lesson 2. I just wanted to know if in this lesson, it's the correct time to use Shift keys for key numbers. Also, I'm only just starting to get use to the Shift key using capital letters, since, I was always in the habit using the Caps Lock key. It feels much better using the Shift Key, rather than using the Caps Lock key, for there's more control, thank you!

[tomwinkler]

I always did caps lock, character and caps lock again to do a capital letter. First time hearing shift+letter also doing that 😅

[thekaspers]

My eye sight is failing and i want to finally learn to touch type. I need an app for my iPad to say the keys when touched. Any suggestions? I want to be able to turn the “talking keys option on and off quickly. Love your lessons BTW!😊

[SarveshPoul-voby]

I saw many tutorial but i cant find tutorial like you Love from India 💖🚩🚩

[Leogonzaleztv]

amazing course!, just a question, do I have to speak loud the letter at the beginning to memorize where they are?
