Lesson 2 of 15 Goal: 10 WPM with 90% accuracy or better

Bright keys are new in this lesson, fainter ones you know. The colour shows which finger types the key.

Typing lesson 2: Home Row, Right Hand (J K L ;)

Now the right hand. You will learn J, K, L and the semicolon key, and then keep both hands ready on the home row.

How to do it

Place the index finger of your right hand on J (feel the bump), the middle finger on K, the ring finger on L and the little finger on ; (semicolon). Your left hand rests on A S D F as before.

The right little finger is the weakest one for most people. The semicolon key is its job. Go slowly and press it with a gentle, straight movement.

Tips

Watch for this: Many beginners let the right hand float above the keyboard. Keep the fingertips lightly on the keys between presses.

Your goal

Type the practice text above at 10 WPM or faster with 90% accuracy or better. When you reach it, the page tells you and the lessons page puts a tick next to this lesson. If you miss it, try again a little slower. A clean run beats a fast one.

Questions

How long does lesson 2 take?

About ten minutes. Repeat it until you reach the goal. Most people need two or three tries.

Do I need to type with all my fingers?

Yes. Using each finger for its own keys is what lets you type fast without looking. It feels slower for the first few days.

Are the lesson results saved to my account?

No. Lesson results stay on this device. Only the normal typing tests can be saved to an account and ranked.
