Hello, @sionedjordan!

Congratulations to you for making the choice to start this typing journey!

Proper typing requires the strengthening of muscle memory which is best achieved through repetition. Therefore, practice needs to involve repeating many skills-building lessons over time. Instead of dedicating one hour of instruction to keyboarding per week, it is much more beneficial to do shorter bursts of practice time daily. No one will master keyboarding after one lesson, but with about 20 minutes of daily practice, you should be more than proficient in touch typing within 2 or 3 months.

With Typesy, since each lesson is customized to its learner, the length of time needed for mastery varies. Typesy is designed to monitor your progress and adapt to your skill level, so you can be sure you’re working at the pace and difficulty best suited to you.

Keep it up! You’ll have to come back to keep us updated on your progress!

Regards,
