Thanks for watching and see you in the next one. 3. Homerow: hello and welcome everybody into the actual first tutorial off touch typing techniques Course. Before we start talking about the home row literalist have, look owns a keyboard that we will work with. As you see, this is the one, and we would only focus on the left side of the keyboard. Only the state of keys. We will totally you know, the right. No medical pad. We will never visit during this course or in touch typing generally. And of course, if you want to hit any number or any symbol, you will use this. Throw off numbers and symbol instead of the right to medical pad. Also, there are two rules that you have to follow during this section and during the next one, also the first tool starting from now, never, never look at the keyboard during typing. The second rule is that every key on the keyboard is allowed to be touched by only a certain finger. So, for example, if you want to hit the F key, the only is only finger. Of the 10 fingers that's allowed to touch is a bottom is the left index, and no other finger is allowed toe touch the same four. For example, there's your bottle or the key. The only finger that allowed to touch is a Jakey is the right index and no other fingers. The team fingers is allowed to touch it, so that's it. Let's start talking about the home run home row is a set of keys or are off keys that start with a key and in with the semi colon key. So it consists off Yankees A S, D E F G H I J K l and the cynical and if you may not, before that, both off F and J Key's at the bottom. There is a rectangular pump that you can't touch using any fingers. So without looking to the keyboard, you can know the position or saris. You can know the position off the F and G bottles by, ah, rectangular pump in the bottom of the key, so the F and G bottle is the original position off our index fingers. So the left index on the F and the right index on the J and as I told you, using the first, the second rule story, that index, the Left Index is only finger. That's allowed to touch is F ke, and the right one is the one that's allowed to hit or touch their Jiechi. And the middle fingers on the and on K on off course is only allowed to be touched by the left middle finger and the same board cakey with the right middle finger and ring fingers on S and L and the same for them. They are only allowed to be touched by the index. There is a ring finger story and pinky fingers on a and on semi colon, and that is the original position off our fingers on the home row. And the reasons that sort of the reason that's called the home grow because we will know, for example, in the next tutorials that if we want to hit, for example, there you keep. We will have to move our right index upwards and hit key and then return it back to its original position in the home row. So that's why it's called the home row. Because whenever we have to travel our fingers through the keyboard, we have to return back in tow. Their original position. So is that it? Thank you for watching and see you in the next tutorial 4. G and H letters: Hello. Knock everybody In this tutorial, we will continue talking about the home row, as you see in the previous tutorial that we defined the home roads, that it is a set of keys or of zero that start with a key and in with semi colon key, including their G and H keys. And if you notice that we didn't talk about them in the previous tutorial. So from the previous tutorial way, we knew that our index fingers on the F N j and our middle fingers on the D E and K and ring fingers on S and L and pink fingers on the and semi colon. And that's how we hit each bottom of them. Who is? It's a specific finger and the G and H letters are also considered in the home row. But if we want to hit if stories h key, we will have to move our right index and hit each and return it back to its original position on C J. The same for G. We have to move our left index to hit G and then return it back to its original position on the F key so that it And that's how we hit both of G and H keys with left and right fingers , the left for G and the right for it so that it thank you for watching and soon as an extra . 5. Toprow: how long will come. Everybody is this trail. We will start talking about the top row. But first, let me remind you off our two rules. The 1st 1 you will never, never look at the keyboard during topping. And the 2nd 1 that every key on the keyboard is only allowed to be touch it off or hit by only a specific finger. So let's start talking about the home row. The home row is a set of keys or roof keys that start with Q key and with peaky the same as the home road, but shifted to the left a little bit. Ah, as you see here. So it also consists off 10 keys Q w e rt Why you io peak, this is Ah, this set of keys is called the top. Ah, is that a bro? Sorry. And if you remember from their previous tutorials that our original position off our fingers on the home row is, as you see there, index on the index finger on the F N J made it on the I. D. E and K and ring on the S and l and Pinky on the and see me Coolum and that's how we heard about. So if we want to hit any bottom in the top row, we will use its corresponding finger in there home row. So if we want to hit you, we will use the left pinkie finger toe hit Q and return it back after after after hitting into its original position in the home row. The same for W. If we want to hit W, we will use our left, made it a story Our left ring finger toe hit W and didn't return it into its original position. The same 40 using the middle finger and the same for our using their left index finger. The symbols that are for the right and sorry There you with the ah, sorry. There you with ah, right Index ends I with middle right middle and hope with right ring and ah p key with right pinkie. So that's how we reach our Tebow with our fingers. And of course, if we hit any key in that job, well, we will have to return. It's crisp on the finger to its original position in the home rule. So that's it. Thank you for watching and see is an ex tutorial 6. T and Y letters: how long work everybody is this tutorial. We will continue talking about the top row, as as you see in the previous tutorials that the Tebow is a set of keys or are off keys that start with Q and A with the peaky. And it is Ah consists off Yankees, including that he and the like and, as in the home, wrote a T envoy are as the same as JIA Ditch. So in the home, bro, if we want to head the H. Martin or the H Key, we were using our right index toe, hit it and then return it it back to its original position and G left index toe Hagee and return it back. So is the same for warranty, for why we will use or sorry we will treat it at as it. We will use our right index to hit y and return it back to its original position, and he will be treated the same as G. We really was our left Index to hit t and return our finger to its original position. So that's it. Leggy and hr. The same ends at U N y with the same fingers. Thank you for watching, and she is the next tutorial 7. Bottomrow: Hello. Welcome. Everybody insist, Oral, We will start talking about the bottom row. But first, let me remind you off our 1st 2 rules off Arturo stories The 1st 1 that you never look at the keyboard during typing. And the 2nd 1 that every every key on the keyboard is only allowed to be touched it or to be hit by only a specific fingers off our 10 fingers. So the bottom row is ah, set of keys or off keys that start with the key and in with the forward slash king. So it consists often queues this him as the home and the top row the X z we be in. Conversely, SRE dot and forward slash So here are original positions off our fingers. Their indexes owns the F and J and the rest of fingers that besides them. So it is the same in the top row. If we want toe hit the you We were moving our right index soared the corresponding index toe hit that you and return it back to its original position. The same if we want to hit them because usually am are on the same line as you see here. It's of course, tell a little bit to the right, but they are considered to be on the same line. So if we want to hit him, we are moving our right index to hit em and return it back to its original position. The same for V. If we want toe hit V, we were moving our left index story. We will move our left index to a TV and return it back to its original position in the home row on the F key. So as in our are if we are considered to be on the same line on each, all of them are hit with the left index and all of the usual and are hit with the right index. The same force are gay and the doctor are hit with or touching with the right middle finger . So if we want to hit there, ah dot kiwi will travel or move our right middle finger downward to hit the dot G and created stories a comic E and return it back to its original position and the same for all the keys. So here is hke with its corresponding fingers that's allowed to touch it. The pink is for the CIA and the forward slash and the ring finger for X and for the dot keys and the middle finger for C and four comma and index fingers for V and so that it thank you for watching and scenes an extra Torrey. 8. B and N letters: Hello, Mark. Everybody in this tutorial, we would continue talking about bottom row. So, uh, we will talk about that. The end. They will be treated exactly as judge and t y bottles. So it is original position off our fingers if we want to hit it or why we were using our right index the same within. We will use our right index to hit in and return it back to its original position. The same if we want to G or t. We were using our left index. The same will be for me if we want to. It be we will move our left index from F toe head. Be hands didn't return. It's back to its original position. So all of these three keys Why H and R hit are being touched with the right with the right index and d g b are being touched with left index on. That's it. Thank you for watching and see in the next tutorial. 9. Space Key: Helen work everybody. Before we start talking about a space key, let me first remind you off our two rules. The 1st 1 never, never look at the keyboard during typing, and the 2nd 1 that every key on the keyboard is only allowed to be touched by only one specific finger. But actually, we will have an exception for this rule in this tutorial, because it's basically is the only keys that's allowed to be touched by two fingers. There sums left some order, right? Some and actually this is the only use for our thumbs. Ah, as the only keys that our thumbs are allowed to touch is space key is right using the right one or the left one, it's stopped you. But I prefer that, for example, if you of course you will use the space key after finishing a specific work. So if the last key off the world or the last letter of the world is being hit by the left hand, I prefer to use the rights home towards the key space key and the same if the last word is the last letter off. The world is hit with the right and I prefer to use the left some to hit the space key. So, for example, if you were writing the letter dog, for example, so the last word the last letter will be G. You will hear g with your left index. So generally was your left hand. So I prefer to hit the space key with your right hand the same. If you write, for example, gem, you will. The last letter will be in hit or type with the right hand, so I prefer to use the left some to hate speech, ski after it this way you're your brain will work faster and your muscle memory will be better and trained faster, which you would know about it in the next tutorials. So thank you for watching and here's the next one. 10. Shift key: hello and welcome everybody. In this tutorial, we will start talking about the chef keys. As you know, Shefki is used to write or type capital letters while holding the shift key and press the desert letter. So there are two shift keys, the left one on the right one. And here is our original position off the fingers on the home. Bro, if you want to hit the right toe hit or hold the right shift, you will have to use the right pinky like this and the same for the left shift. You will have to use the left pink as you as you remember from the previous tutorial, I told you that you are free to use any or fuse off any some to hit there space key. But I prefer as I told you, the rule to use went to use the left and when he was right. But this with optional rule. But in the shift key, it's not optional if you want to hit. For example, Capital Letter owns the left with the left hand. For example, F capital. If you will have toe hold the the right shift with your right pinky and press. If so, if the letter is pressed with a left hand, you will have to use their right shift and the opposite. If you have the letter story. Ah is rating or type two. Is that right? And you will have to use the left. That's it. Thank you for watching and use the next tutorial. 11. CapsLock key: Helen Arc. Everybody insisted rural. We will start talking about the caps. Lock the caps. Look is only only one bottle in the keyboard. Ah, not like chef. There is too. The caps lock is hit with the left story Was the lift pink? Yes. So if you want to hit the caps lock, you will have to use your left pinky fingers. And as you know, caps look is used also as a chef toe Write capital letters. But ah, if you want, for example to write a full sentence in capital or a full work, you don't have toe hold shift while typing it. You can press caps, look and then write your word or your sentence and then turn off caps. Look again. So ah, you may also hold shift and write your word or you're or your sentence. But in this case, it will be very, very difficult. Toe have our second rules that every key is only pressed with as specific a specific finger because, for example, if you want to hit, if you hit the left shift like this, hold it, and if you want to hit you, you'll use another finger instead of the left pinkie that's supposed to hit the Cuchi. So on Leo's caps look in case off a full word in capital letters or full sentence in capital letters, Thank you for watching and sees the next tutorial. 12. Symbols & Numbers: Helen work. Everybody is historial. We will start talking about the numbers and symbols as I told you in their first tutorial off the previous section, that we will totally ignore the in America pattern. Right. So we will use this throw off numbers and symbol instead. So is the same. Here is our original position off our fingers. If we want to hit a number on for example, we will use its responding finger in the home row. So its corresponding finger on this line will be the left finger left. Pinky. Sarita, we will hit one with our left pinky and return it back. And the same toe is on this ah line. So we will use our left ring, tow it to and our left military three and our left index to hit four and five the same for the right. And we will use our right index to hit six and sevens and return it back to its original position and our right middle finger to hit eight and our ring right finger toe hit nine and our I think fingers toe hit zero and of course, story and the same four symbols that in symbols on the numbers from 1 to 0. But instead, If sorry if we have toe, If we have toe right, any symbol, then we will have toe first press shift e g. So we will use the shift key role. If the number or the symbol that will be hit will be with left hand, we will use our right shift. So 12345 symbols These five symbols will will be used with the right Shefki and from 6 to 0 will be used with the left shift key whispering off course. So that's it. Thank you for watching and use the next tutorial. 13. Rest of keys: how long work everybody insist, Oral. We will start talking about Ah, the rest of keys off the keyboard. As you see here, I have made a white parallelogram that's around our four rows, the bottom row and is a home rule and the top row and the number throw. And of course, we have known each key off These end which fingers allow toe touch it or to eat it. And there is a general, a general rule. Sorry that every bottle or key outside this parallelogram is only touching with pinky fingers Either the left or the right. It depends on its position. So, for example, if we want to hit any of these off these kids that abs cats look the left shift and the left control for any reason. If you want to use out logo and function or the control you, you you will use story, you're left pinky, finger toe, touch them and the same for the right pinky will use it for the minus, or underscore ke and plus or equal backspace these three keys and the backslash and enter to enter a new line while typing. And, of course, the right shift as we know before and the arrows for any reason. So that's it against a general rule that everybody outside this parallelogram is only tortured with a pinky fingers off course. We are ignoring the that most top. So that's it. Thank you for watching. And she was an ex tutorial. 14. Useful tools: how long work everybody into useful websites and software tutorials in this for it, I will guide you to a lot of very powerful tools to help you practicing on touch typing First, the software's here are some powerful and very helpful Softwares that you can usually so it is that you can easily download.

In this total, we will discuss Helen work everybody into Indian tutorial in historial. We will discuss end it. But let's first know what in the is. As you see here, you may find in the beginning off a paragraph story in the beginning of the paragraph. Ah, lot of spaces. So if we want to do this in this paragraph, for example, the paragraph that start with touch typing we will do We will hit this place, Martin or the space Key AL of time. So 12345678 So instead of heading a space bottom eight times, that will take a lot of times. We can't use only one hit off Kep Kee. So again, one tapped Iwill does this place for us in the beginning for each paragraph. So let's, for example, suppose that this is another paragraph if we want to do is the indent. In the beginning of the paragraph, we have two ways that we press that's based bottom or this basically a lot of times which will take ah more time on. And we will be very slow if we use this method. But instead we can use only one hit off the tab key like this. And if we want ascendant Ah, let along. We can use. Sorry, we can hit that that bottle again. So is that it?

Number two, your position on a share has to be just like it's a robot on the left, you're back in a straight position and both of your arms and legs in a 90 degree position. As previous, these position will cause a harmful damage to your body. By the time of course, number three, wild typing or hitting the keys way prefer to have your fingers in a carefree position just like this, not on a flat position, just like the photos, right, because the flat position, while using it, you might hit a wrong key accidentally on. Of course, this isn't desire and also flat position. Take more times than Kevin position, which will slow you down the next one. Your risk position. Your risk position has to be straight with your fingers, just like the photo on the left. Ah, not too high, just like this. Or touch the disc or the keyboard because these two position were bye bye time we cause harmful damage or terrorist, especially ribbons off course. Number five. Keep your eyes on the ticket stores a copy because if you move your eye from tickets to the screens in the text again, it will be hard to you to find where were you in the text. And, of course, this will slow you down. And our main objective uring typing is the speed or the time number six. Keep I touch. Don't look to the keyboard. Use the correct fingers. As we said in the beginning of the course, never never looked with keyboard and don't use only two fingers to type. He was your 10 Fingers number seven, and the last one.

Welcome everybody in to get a break tutorial. It's strongly advise that you get a break every 15 minutes for two minutes because even if you follow the previous seven rules in those and don't tutorial, you still exposed toe. Get a bone damage by time.

Muscle memory: How long Work everybody into muscle memory tutorial insist. Oral. We will talk about muscle memory, so let's very defined what muscle memory is. Muscle memory is remembering doing a repeating better. So, for example, eating eating is, um, let's say consistent four steps. The first step holdings this point by your hands in 2nd 1 Moving their spoon to your mouth . 3rd 1 Chewing the last one is a swallowing, but you don't have to remember each step or calculate what you will do in each step because your brain is trained will or your muscle memory. Feeding is trained well to do with this pattern because it has trained because this is a repeating better that you do everyday eating the same for working. You don't have to calculate first that you will hold your left leg and move the right one forward and then opposite hard your right and move the left forward and so on to walk your muscle memory forking Ah has trained to do this very, very fast and not to calculate every step before doing it the same in touch. Typing touch Typing muscle memory is to type very fast without looking toe keyboard because if you are looking to the keyboard or to the letters while typing thing you are building is the wrong muscle memory, because in this case the brain has been trained. In order to find the position off a certain letter, it has to use a sense off site ALS, or sense of vision story. So if you want to find a certain location, you have trained your money in this case to look to it. And thing is in touch typing, of course, and this is a wrong most of memory. So in order to build the right one, let your hand do the typing and let your brain do what it's supposed to do. Thinking is that in the beginning it will be very slow because your muscle memory of touch typing hasn't been trained well, and it is not a habit yet, but a Xeni muscle. It gets stronger by more practicing, so just let your hand does the typing and let your brain think where to go or where to hit or let your brain the position off the letter without looking to the keyboard. So relate your brain, decide where supposition off the letter without looking to the keyboard so that it Thank you for watching. And this is the end of the course.
