📖 Complete Beginner's Guide

Learn Touch Typing

Go from two-finger typing to 80+ WPM in 4–6 weeks. No special equipment needed — just 10 minutes a day.

4 Rules That Change Everything

01

Home Row Position

Place your left fingers on A, S, D, F and right fingers on J, K, L, ;. Your thumbs rest on the spacebar. This is your base position — always return here.

02

Never Look at the Keyboard

This is the hardest part. Cover your keyboard or use a blank one. Your fingers will build muscle memory within 2–3 weeks of consistent practice.

03

Accuracy Before Speed

Start slow — aim for 95%+ accuracy at 30 WPM before pushing speed. Practicing fast with errors builds bad habits that are hard to unlearn.

04

10 Minutes Daily

Consistency beats intensity. 10 minutes every day beats 2 hours once a week. Progress is exponential — you'll feel a jump around week 3–4.
