So... I type with 4 fingers, and I want to learn how to type prperly nice and fast. Does anyone know of any good typing programs that will help me... Or that helped you type properly?

Many Thanks,
:)
 
My high school typing lecture helped me a lot.

IC used to sell some typing instruction programs, have you tried google?
 
Theres quite a few in google, just want to know from people who have used them if they helped.
 
typing shark from Popcap is pretty good. Really.
There's also a Mario typer, but it's not that great.

Otherwise here's a little trick, but I'd use it only after playing around with the typing tutors for bit. What ever you do, do not look at the keyboard. Ever. Even if it takes you a minute of frustration, it's worth it in the long run.

Finally, learning to type properly is like learning a language. It's not actually fun, it just plain difficult and requires loads of practice. It'll take you a good month of persistence and not looking to get anywhere. As most people use computers today, I personally think that every single kid should learn to type by the time they are 8. It'll save them years in the long run.

Good luck
 
I dunno what i did but I use all my fingers to type and don't look at the screen...its just the more you use your pc, the better/easier it gets :)
 
Better still, get into IRC* (not that pansy IM stuff!) :D and get *involved* - you'll be amazed at how fast your typing picks up.

*disclaimer: the time suckage aspect of IRC is something you'll have to deal with as a separate problem! :rolleyes:

Noooo :)

IRC is what buggered up my touch typing accuracy, grammar and punctuation.

:D
