The color-coded keyboard under lesson input field will help you to understand which finger should press each key. This method may seem inconvenient at first, but do not stop, eventually, you'll find out that you are typing quickly, easily, and conveniently. To achieve the maximum result, choose a touch typing course for your keyboard layout and in the desired language.
Don't look at the keys when you type. Just slide your fingers around until they find the home row marking. Limit your hand and finger movement only to what is necessary to press a specific key.
Keep your hands and fingers close to the base position. This improves typing speed and reduces stress on the hands. Pay attention to ring fingers and little fingers, since they are considerably underdeveloped. Take a break if you feel that you get distracted easily and are making a lot of mistakes.

That's the position in which your fingers will rest between keystrokes.
No matter what part of the keyboard you're using, your fingers will always come back to rest in this position. Place your left index finger on the "F" key and let the other three finger fall naturally onto the "D", "S", and "A" keys respectively.
Both thumbs should rest on the space bar, but only the right thumb should key it. These will allow your fingers to find the home position without having to look at the keyboard. Type each key from left to right. Type each letter covered by the fingers in the home position, going from left to right: a s d f j k l ;.
You shouldn't have to move your fingers from their home positions. Just press the keys they are resting on. All rights reserved. This image may not be used by other entities without the express written consent of wikiHow, Inc. Repeat, but this time capitalize.
Use the shift key to capitalize rather than the caps lock. Push the shift key by moving only your nearest pinkie finger and pressing and holding it while pushing the desired letter with your other hand. In other words, when the letter you would like capitalized is typed with your left hand, you press the right shift key with your right pinkie. When the letter you would like capitalized is typed with your right hand, you press the left shift key with your left pinkie.
Become familiar with the rest of the alphabet. Learn where each letter is positioned on the keyboard, and use the nearest finger to contact each key. The thumbs are never the nearest finger; they are used only on the space bar. Your thumbs should never leave the space bar. Type your first sentence. Starting from the home position, type: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
This sentence contains every letter in the alphabet, so it's a perfect sentence for practicing the correct finger positioning. Type the sentence over and over, watching your fingers to make sure they go to the right keys and immediately return to home position. Once you begin to feel comfortable with the way your fingers are moving, try to look at the screen while you type rather than looking at the keyboard. This is known as touch typing.
Part 2. Practice touch typing. Learning how to touch type is the single most important factor in increasing your speed. In fact, as you become a better typist, looking down at the keyboard will actually slow you down.
At first this may seem difficult, but train yourself to look only at the screen as you type. A good tip during this early stage is to say the name of the letter as you type it.
