Lesson 2: Home row, right hand (J K L ;)

Now the right hand: index finger on J, middle finger on K, ring finger on L and little finger on the semicolon. J has a bump just like F. With both index fingers on the bumps, you are in the home position.

After each key, let the finger return to its home key. This return movement is the core of touch typing.

How each lesson works

Every lesson has three short exercises: the new keys on their own, a mix with keys you already know, and real words. Pass an exercise with at least 92% accuracy. In the last exercise you earn up to three stars, depending on your speed.
