1. Home Row

The home row is where your fingers rest between keystrokes: A, S, D, F for your left hand and J, K, L, semicolon for your right, with both thumbs on the spacebar.

Practice keys: A, S, D, F, J, K, L, ;, Space. Type the drill below at a pace where you can stay accurate. Reaching 95% accuracy marks this lesson complete and unlocks the next one in the sequence.

This is the foundation every other lesson in this course builds on. Rushing through it just means every later lesson gets harder than it needs to be, since you'll be compensating for placement you never quite locked in.

This is lesson 1 of 7 in the beginner course. If a key trips you up repeatedly, it's worth pausing here rather than pushing through to the next lesson, since each stage assumes real comfort with everything before it.
