Fragments of Memories

Sometimes one needs to take steps back in order to go forward

I found a site, learn2type.com, that offers a free typing speed test and some lessons for touch typing. At least the basic features seem to be free of cost. Unfortunately they do not support Finnish/Swedish keyboard layout so their basic homeline exercises require me to use shift and even alt-gr.

As the solution I jumped to the further exercises. I noticed that at the moment typing is significantly slower than typing using my normal 'any finger goes' method. I'm pretty fast with my own method (about 40 wpm). However I think I just need to tolerate temporary slowness in order to get faster in the future.

As touch typing is a physical skill, I bet learning it as a kid would have been much easier, but better late than never.
