My touch typing journey

[KezzaMcFezza]

Hey guys its me, i'm sure most people dont remember me aha but a few months back i started learing how to touch type (without looking at the keyboard) and im fairly proud of myself as i didnt expect anything to come out of it but something did! heres my progress on the website called keybr... i learned how to type completely off this site, no really expensive college classes or some crap :P.

First couple of months: https://gyazo.com/04767d991cab4a74ed8bcc1ab793f917 / https://gyazo.com/45281ce6bc5f2bb428f1564998f8cbd0

Alltogether it took me 7 months to get to where i am now, i know it took me a long time but to be honest if i practiced more than just every few weeks i could of gotten it faster but hey hey every person is different

 

 

P.S Maybe some of you guys could share your stories on how you began to touch type if you want

What's touch typing?

 

personally I learned how to type fast in grade 3 and in grade 4 I've learned how to type faster and without looking 

3 years later and I'm typing faster with less mistakes. ~90wpm. 

 

how I type is not by using the rows and stuff, I use one hand for wasd and the other on jkl:'. I just type like that. 

 

Also so in grade 6 I learned how to type on my phone really fast and I learned how to type without looking, which is hard on an iPhone 4, then I got a + and it was way easier

ik this is kinda irrelevant to your topic. but you sir is a very lucky man, 4.7ghz @ 1.22 volts, you have just smashed the silicon lottery.

Well that certainly is a big improvement.  That speed will continue to increase naturally with practice.  It can be hard, but try to prioritize accuracy over speed.  If you do that you will be better off in the end, as both will get where you want them

My touch typing journey involves me just using my PC that I built back in summer 2014 (with upgrades in 2016) and typing a lot . I'm in a bad situation tho...the keyboards at school and my laptop is UK layout while my Razer blackwidow 2013 with cherry blues has a US layout so if I'm not using my blackwidow then I make a metric ass ton  of mistakes

My Dad made sure that me my brother and my sister all knew how to touch type from a very young age as he works in IT and saw it as a valuable skill to have. Congrats on your newly acquired skill and joining the #touchtypingmasterrace
