How each lesson works

Every lesson goes from single keys to words, sentences and a short exam, and only uses keys you have already learned. The on-screen keyboard lights up the next key, animated hands show which finger presses it, and you earn up to three stars per exercise for accuracy.

How do I type symbols faster?

Press Shift with the hand that is not typing the symbol, and practise symbols inside real words and sentences rather than on their own.
