   WOW!

   I have been teaching for 28 years and this is the best typing/keyboarding website to help students learn and stay engaged that I have every seen. All of my students Kinder - 5th grade love going on Typing Club. They beg to get on and use it.

• Learning touch typing while learning to code

  Hi. I recently started learning a new programming language on a daily basis. Today I started learning touch typing on typingclub.com however it got me thinking - how can I focus on learning to code while also focusing on not typing like I'm used to (which is without looking at the keys, using all of my right hand's fingers and my left hand's index finger only).

• Will my typing speed improve?

  Did you learn proper typing technique (or something very close to it) by going to typing.com or typingclub.com or some similar website and working through all the various lessons and exercises until you could type without looking at the keyboard? Source: 9 months ago

• how to move beyond 55-61 WPM ( on average)

  I have been touch typing for the last four years ( not FULLY four but always typed if not used a program like typingclub.com). I would rlly love to have a HIGHER WPM but honestly idk HOW to get one. Like typingclub is faar too both difficult and useless for me now. Other websites don't seem as good. I did like Rush Race but everyone beating me half the time is quite discouraging. Overall, I want a more impactful... Source: 9 months ago

• How do I switch from qwerty to dvorak fast?

  If you can type the pangram the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog without looking at your keyboard, then you know where all 26 letters of the alphabet are on the Dvorak layout. That means that you no longer have any need for the beginner websites such as typing.com or typingclub.com or ratatype.com and can instead move onto the second of the two phases of learning to type. The second phase is one that... Source: 10 months ago

• Should i switch to ten finger typing?

  You should absolutely continue learning 10 finger typing on typingstudy.com typing.com typingclub.com or keybr.com or whatever site you're using. Being slow and inaccurate is a temporary state that you go through whilst you're learning, yet everyone who asks the same question as you have phrases it in a way that makes it sound like it's a permanent state that they will never get out of i.e. Their destined to stay...

• Best learning tools for arbitrary layouts?

  Suggest you leave a message via the Support section of Tyoe Fu webpage with description of this peculiar behaviour 😳. Source: about 1 year ago

• I can type at 100wpm with my 2 index fingers - should I learn to touch type?

  What really forced me to learn is when I got a keyboard with blank keycaps. But short of that, I found it pretty effective to do some typing practice where the text is computer code. See e.g. Type-Fu and in the "Lesson" drop down select "Code.". Source: over 1 year ago

• Practicing special characters

  So it's helpful to do some targeted touch typing exercises for symbols. I've found it useful, though boring, to exercise on text that is purely a random sequence of symbols. This at least forced me to remember which symbols are at which key positions. Alternatively you could practice on a sample of code. In Type Fu, you can practice on code samples by selecting "Code" in the "Lesson" drop down. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Writing when you can't type?

  I used Type-fu when I finally decided to learn how to touch type properly. It worked just fine, it only took a few hours to learn how to place my hands correctly and finding the correct keys with my fingers. Source: over 2 years ago
