1. Capitalization & Shift Technique

Proper names, sentence starts, and titles all need Shift. This lesson builds the reflex of tapping Shift with your pinky while the other hand types the letter.

Focus: Shift. 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.

The most common capitalization mistake isn't hitting the wrong key, it's timing: pressing Shift a moment too late so the letter registers lowercase first. Practice pressing Shift with your pinky slightly before the letter finger moves, not at the same instant.

This is lesson 1 of 5 in the intermediate course. These lessons assume you're already comfortable with the full alphabet, numbers, and basic punctuation from the beginner track; if any of that still feels shaky, it's worth revisiting those lessons first, since intermediate drills build directly on that foundation without re-teaching it.
