Learn to type without looking at the keyboard
Touch typing means finding keys by touch instead of looking down for each letter. Start with a small set of keys and accurate movements, then build toward words and timed practice.

Find the home row
On an English QWERTY keyboard, rest your left fingers on A, S, D and F, and your right fingers on J, K, L and semicolon. Your index fingers sit on F and J; the small raised marks help you find them without looking. Let a thumb handle the space bar. Other keyboard layouts use different letters in these positions.
Practice a few keys at a time
Open the beginner lessons and choose the home row drill. Read the next character on screen, press it, and return your finger to its resting position. Slow down when you need to look at your hands. Repeat a short drill until the movement feels familiar, then try the left-hand and right-hand exercises.
Move from letters to words
Once you can find the home row comfortably, try word practice. Keep your eyes on the next word and use a steady pace. A temporary drop in speed is expected when changing your technique; compare your new attempts with each other instead of with your old two-finger speed.
A simple ten-minute session
Spend two minutes on home row drills, three minutes on the hand that needs more attention, and three minutes typing words. Finish with a one-minute test and one minute reviewing mistakes. Shorten the session if your hands become tired, and use a relaxed posture without pressing keys harder than necessary.
How long does learning take?
There is no fixed number of days that works for everyone. Your starting point, keyboard familiarity and practice consistency affect progress. First aim to find keys without looking, then maintain accuracy through a full test, and only then increase your pace.
