Start with the Beginner level, lesson one — F, J, and Space. It teaches the home row position your fingers return to after every key. Work through the lessons in order; each one builds on the keys before it.

Most people can type without looking at the keyboard after two to three weeks of 15 minutes a day. Reaching a comfortable 50–60 WPM usually takes a couple of months of regular practice. Short daily sessions beat long occasional ones.

Accuracy first, always. Speed follows accuracy naturally, but bad habits learned at speed are very hard to unlearn. Aim to stay above 95% accuracy and let your WPM climb on its own.

Lessons teach you the keyboard in a fixed order, one key group at a time, so you build muscle memory. A typing test measures where you already are. Use the lessons to learn and the tests to check your progress.
