About this exercise
In the lessons you copy the text shown on screen, one character at a time: press the key for the highlighted character.
Let's start with the correct hand position on the keyboard:
|
Left hand:
|
Right hand:
|
Keep your fingers curved and your hands relaxed.
In this exercise you'll practice the letters [ASDF], which sit under the fingers of your left hand. To build the new habit in your right hand as well, keep it on the keyboard too - over [JKL;].
You'll also need the space bar and Enter in this lesson. Press the space bar with a thumb - in this lesson, preferably your right thumb. Enter is the large key on the right edge of the letter keys; you can end a line with Enter or with Space.
