WHO IT HELPS

Train a useful work skill.

For English QWERTY learners adding the top letter row after home-row practice.

How to practice

Reach Q/W/E with left little/ring/middle fingers and R/T with the left index. Use the right index for Y/U, middle for I, ring for O and little finger for P. Return to home row after each reach.

Common mistakes

Watch neighboring-letter swaps and losing your home position. This page practices letter keys; number-row practice is a separate exercise.

Suggested training time

Start with 5–10 minutes. Take breaks and stop if typing causes discomfort. Accurate input comes before speed.
