Free Touch Typing Lessons (Beginner to Advanced)

Typing isn’t talent. It’s muscle memory — and you can build it.

This hub gives you a clean path: go through each lesson, then do 10–15 minutes of TypeDrift practice. Accuracy first. Speed follows.


Practice with TypeDrift

TypeDrift is my accuracy-first practice tool designed to match the lessons below.

  • Lesson-aligned presets (practice exactly what you’re learning)
  • Accuracy-first so speed sticks
  • Targets weak keys to avoid plateaus

Simple routine: Learn the lesson → practice 10–15 minutes → stop while you’re still accurate.

Printable typing finger chart

This chart lets you check finger placement without looking at your keyboard. Keep it open while you practice, or print it as a quick reference.

Tip: If you get stuck, glance at the chart — not the keyboard. That’s how touch typing locks in.

Touch typing lessons (follow in order)

Every lesson has two parts: Learn (the lesson page with the video + steps) and Practice (a matching TypeDrift preset).

Lesson 1: Home Row Fundamentals

Home row + posture fundamentals. Learn the technique, then drill it in TypeDrift.

Lesson 2: Index Finger Keys

Correct reaches without hand twisting. Learn the reach, then build clean reps.

Lesson 3: Middle Finger Keys

Smooth reaches + cleaner accuracy. Learn the motion, then tighten consistency.

Lesson 4: Ring Finger Keys

Build strength → then muscle memory clicks. Learn the reach, then make it automatic.

Lesson 5: Pinky Finger Keys

The final hurdle to full touch typing. Learn the stretches, then lock them in.

Lesson 6: Type Faster Than Ever (Advanced)

Scanning + real-world speed training. Learn the method, then practice full keyboard flow.

What to do next:

  • Start at Lesson 1 and go in order (don’t skip).
  • Practice in TypeDrift for 10–15 minutes, accuracy-first.
  • If you stall: re-check posture + home row + finger chart, then keep sessions short.

Motivation: You don’t need marathon sessions. You need consistency. Ten clean minutes a day beats an hour of sloppy practice.
