fingers on [asdf jkl;] for a qwerty keyboard.
thumbs on space bar.
reach for keys with nearest finger
Practice to build speed :D

There's lots of software for practice. Makes it much easier because they start you with small non-words and build you up to sentences.

You're a bright lad ibn sul, inshallah you'll progress quickly. :up:

ahhahaha i just had a go... it's hard man:o

[Suliman]

5 words a minute isn't bad if you just started, the main thing is to keep practicing. You will be hitting between 50 - 70 eventually.

This is a really good site for learning.

http://www.keybr.com/ (http://www.keybr.com/)

It shows the layout so just place your two index fingers (next to the thumb :P) one the letters 'F' = left and 'J' = right then look ONLY at the screen and type what you see moving your fingers to the letters.

It will take time but by doing this will actually save you so much time in your life.
