Hi,

By allocating at least 10 minutes of your time per day, you can achieve your typing goals. Quickly open your downloaded program or open the web app in your Google Chrome Browser now:

Just keep typing!

Hi there, @keonfulton!

Everyone will progress at varying speeds, but the fastest route to mastery is recurring practice. No one will master keyboarding after one lesson, but with about 20 minutes of daily practice, most should be more than proficient in touch typing within 2 or 3 months.

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 offer shorter bursts of practice time daily.

Stay committed and you’ll be a pro in no time!
