Both hands together
In this exercise you'll put together what you've learned, using your left and right hands in turn to type the text.
Remember the correct hand position. Notice the small bumps on the [F] and [J] keys. They help you find these keys and place your hands correctly without looking at the keyboard.
Now practice taking your hands off the keyboard and putting them back a few times without looking. After a few tries you'll find the right position quickly.
Once you can do that, relax and start the lesson.
