Typing Practice Lessons
Learn touch typing step by step: home row, top row, bottom row and numbers, with an on-screen keyboard that shows the next key and which finger to use.
About Typing Practice Lessons
These typing practice lessons teach touch typing step by step, starting with the home row and moving on to the top row, bottom row and numbers. An on-screen keyboard highlights the next key to press, and its colour shows which finger to use, so you learn correct technique from the start.
Type without looking at your hands; a wrong key counts as an error and you must press the right one to continue. Aim for 95% accuracy before moving to the next lesson. It works like a free typing tutor online for beginners, with nothing to download, and needs a physical keyboard.
How to use Typing Practice Lessons
- Place your fingers on the home row: left hand on A S D F, right hand on J K L ; (feel the bumps on F and J).
- Choose a lesson. The highlighted key on the keyboard is the next one to press; the colour shows the finger.
- Type without looking at your hands. A wrong key is counted as an error and you must press the right one to move on.
- Aim for 95%+ accuracy before moving to the next lesson.
Frequently asked questions
What do the key colours mean?
Each colour marks a finger: the same colour on both hands means the same finger (little, ring, middle, index). Space is pressed with a thumb.
Why does the cursor stop on a mistake?
Stopping on errors trains accuracy, which matters more than speed when learning. Speed builds naturally once your fingers know the keys.
Does this work on phones?
Touch typing needs a physical keyboard. On a phone or tablet, connect a Bluetooth or USB keyboard for the lessons to be useful.
How do I learn touch typing?
Rest your fingers on the home row (A S D F and J K L ;), follow the lessons in order and type without looking at the keyboard.
How long does it take to learn touch typing?
With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, most beginners learn all the keys in two to four weeks and build speed after that.
Which lesson should a beginner start with?
Start with the home row lesson, then move on to the top row, bottom row and numbers once you reach good accuracy.
