About this lesson
Lesson 2 of 15 adds D and K. After it you know 4 keys. Too few real words use only these keys yet, so this drill is made of short key groups. Words arrive in lesson 6.
The drill is forty items long and is generated afresh every time, so you practise the keys rather than memorise a line. Faded keys on the keyboard are ones you have not met yet.

Typing test
Gross and net WPM, accuracy and keystrokes per hour — the figures typing exams use.
Practice texts
Type the opening lines of classic books: real sentences, capitals and punctuation.
Weak keys
A drill built from the keys you miss most, worked out from your own tests.
Times tables
Each table with its patterns, a drill that returns to what you got wrong, and a 60-second speed test.
