A typing course, online and at your own pace.
Typing, touch typing or, as they say in Flanders, dactylo: it is the same skill. You used to learn it at school or in an evening class, with a book next to the machine. Now you do it in your browser, on your own keyboard.
You start at the home row and learn a few keys every lesson, until you type the whole alphabet, punctuation, digits and accents without looking.
