Lesson 5 of 15 Goal: 15 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 5: Top Row, Right Hand (Y U I O P)

Now the right side of the top row: Y, U, I, O and P. After this lesson you can type most everyday words.

How to do it

The right index finger reaches up to U and also takes Y with a sideways reach. The middle finger types I, the ring finger O and the little finger P.

Y is the key people hit with the wrong hand. It belongs to the right index finger, the same as U, H and J.

Tips

Watch for this: Using the left index finger for Y. It works, but it breaks the rule that each hand takes its own side of the keyboard.

Questions

How long does lesson 5 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?
