My name is Ian Stables. I'm a self-taught touch typist. I've tried the hard way and the easy way. This is the easy way.
Many try to learn the wrong way. They try to learn all the letters at once. They use pages of text to practice. This is not the most effecient way. That's the painful and slow way.
This method is based on latest research on skill learning. Based on the research of Peter Hollins and others, this method follows a short steps new approach.
You'll ge practising two keys at a time. You won't be bored. Each combination will only be practiced for 30 seconds. This is the most efficent way to learn to type. The result is fast keyboard typing skills in far less time.
You'll learn:
- Where the keys are
- Where to place your hands... without looking
- Best way to practice and how long
- How to build up speed with accuracy
- The simple learning accelerator
- Learn where fingers go without looking. Learn two at a time
- Type numbers without looking
- Best way to practice capital letters
- The way to get faster
