Turn yourself into a typing hero!

Welcome to this new & improved, and still humble typing web course. Here you'll find an expanded set of free online typing lessons and typing exercises for beginning typists, and frustrated hunt-and-peckers who want to move from four-finger typing to full-blown touch typing.

I'm hoping the redesign of the site and added keyboarding lessons & exercises are much to your liking, but if for any reason you prefer things the way they were you can still access the previous site in its entirety here.

If you're new here, please begin with the Introduction and Overview.

If you are a returning user, you might just want to check out the new typing exercises, musical typing, speed typing and keyboarding practice areas!

Touch typing is all about the idea that each finger has its own area on the keyboard. Thanks to that fact you can type without looking at the keys. Practice regularly and your fingers will learn their location on the keyboard through muscle memory.

Sitting posture for typing

• Sit straight and remember to keep your back straight.

• Keep your elbows bent at the right angle.

• Face the screen with your head slightly tilted forward.

• Keep at least 45 - 70 cm of distance between your eyes and the screen.

• Еxpose the shoulder, arm, and wrist muscles to the least possible strain. The wrists can touch the tabletop in front of the keyboard. Never shift your body weight to the wrists by resting on them.
