Hi there,

There are many ways to type, but there is one way to type that is considerably faster than the rest! For example, don’t type exclusively with your two index fingers when there’s a much easier way to learn using all ten of your digits. It’ll take some time to do, but learning the right way to type is the first step in being both quick and accurate in your typing.

Hi Cherish,

I would learn about the home row, or middle row of letters, on a keyboard first. This is the home base for your hands on a keyboard. Your right and left index fingers start on the notches of the F and J keys, and your fingers rest on the letters successively until your pinkies are resting on the A and colon keys. Each time you perform a keystroke, your fingers return to these keys.
