I like how he got into some specific finer points. I actually was doing and thinking about some of this, but now I have more confidence to continue forward. I'm struggling not to give up.

I've been working on my touch-typing skills for about 4 weeks now and I average around 15wpm. No, not 150wpm, 15wpm.

[duncangatawa]

When I learned with typing pal, they used to offer awef jio; hand placement and it seems like it's not taught anymore, any idea why? I'm used that way and I like it.

[VolumetricTerrain-hzci]

Thanks!
I like your video!

But can you make a video to see how long it takes,
to typing in this way:

typinglikethismakesitgofaster,

Sir, what do you think of Typer Shark Deluxe - a classic PopCap game? Are their typing lessons outdated and do I need to go somewhere else?
