Hand Lessons

Once individual fingers feel natural, the next step is coordinating a whole hand at once. These two lessons combine selected home-row and top-row keys for each hand, so you can practice the handoffs between fingers rather than just isolated keys.

Practice the transitions within each hand

These exercises bridge isolated finger drills and typing with both hands. Choose the side that feels less coordinated, then read its key list before starting. Try to move the finger responsible for each key without shifting your whole hand away from its starting position. Returning after a reach helps you find the following key without looking down.

Pay attention to pairs of letters that make you hesitate. A hand can feel comfortable on single keys yet stumble when neighboring fingers must move in quick succession. Repeat those transitions slowly within the drill instead of accelerating through the easy sections and stopping at every difficult one.

Practice both sides, even if one already feels faster. Compare your comfort and accuracy rather than expecting identical speeds from different passages. When both exercises feel steady, move to the beginner course for words and sentences that alternate between hands. Your saved completion status is a record of practice, not a reason to skip a useful refresher.

After a focused lesson, check WPM and accuracy on a fresh typing test. Compare attempts with similar text and settings.
