  • Typing Tips

    1. Start by learning the "home row": asdf jkl;.
    2. Start practicing which fingers are responsible for moving to which keys from the home row.
    3. Pick up speed by using free online typing games and tests. Competing against your previous words per minute scores will help keep you motivated.
    4. Don't exert too much force on the keys. "Grazing" will keep fingers mobile between keys, moving over them as opposed to tapping out each letter.
    5. Impress colleagues and friends with your usage of advanced keystrokes such as accents, symbols or keystrokes used only in foreign languages.
    6. And learn to type faster on your iPhone or BlackBerry, too.
