EmmaMermaid is wow!
Um….......dude..that so didnt make any sense.
How I did it: I got a cassette tape by SCM (the typewriter company) with "how to type" lessons. Studying after work, it took me about four weeks to learn the keyboard by touch. Building your typing speed will take longer. I use practice programs available on the internet to build my speed. I recommend learning to type while you are young, it'll be a quicker process than it will later in life.
Lessons & tips: Keep it up... don't slack off or quit.
Try to find a quiet place to learn - fewer distractions are better.
There are good practice guides available on the internet - free!
