How fast can you type?

[Thainá Nunes]

hi everybody,
i had never been to any typing course.
what i know about this i learned by myself! because i love surf on internet! i'm everyday infront of the computer!!
i prectise in MSN with my new cousins from EUA, at myspace, and here.
for me it is pretty easy, if a already know what i'm going to write.
i'm very happy because i'm better day after day!! but i'm still looking at the keyboard!
but i think in english, i write in english and speak english very fast!!
but what is a big problem to me is the grammar!!
sometimes i forget some details of grammar!!

i don't like to write wrong!!

that is why i'm here!!
if i learn this details, i'm certain that i will write faster!!
^^
kisses.

I have no problem in typing as English alphabet is the same as Indonesian alphabet.

for me i prefer typing than speaking, because english is my third language, when i type i can well explain i have all my time to think about words, one thing to signal is i feel that i think in french in my mind than i translate to english in the same time and quickly, it's bad but i can't do better, i need to speak english all the time, but i don't know how to do this? i live now in Morocco,and the opportunity to do so doesn't exist !!!!!!

Hi! Well for me typing is a skills. Even in grades school typing is required today. When I was a kid i saw my mom type her letter very past without looking on a keyboard. So, what I did was I practiced my typing like inserting the bond paper, type my name, type anything that I wanted.

When I graduated in High School, I took up computer secretarial course and applied my experience on typing. I got 80-90 wpm. Now that I'm working it is easy for me to prepare my work.

hi all
I want to make friend with you...

[Manchirojulu]

well ,
the punctuations are really important while making a sentence
but during chatting i avoid them coz they are actually not needed and people really dont concentrate on punctuations..
but these dayz while chatting i'm using punctuations which makes some sense

Hi everybody,

To be honest, I signed in this website from a long time but I did not participate in its topics. It was only one time when I asked a help to improve my English in both writing and speaking which I am very weak in. I really need to be fluent in this language since I am studying translation from Arabic to English and vise versa. So, I decided from this moment to share you people my replies and opinions in most topics and as much as I can. In terms of typing skills, I I'd like to say that although I fond on chatting with friends sometimes, my typing skill is not that good because I keep looking at the keyboard either if I write in English or even in my mother language which is Arabic. I remember my first lesson in typing in high school. The teacher taught us how to type in a good and fast way by following the rules of typing. Unfortunately, I could not follow these rules because I faced difficulty in typing by using the right finger in the right key at the keyboard. Also, I was thinking that these rules are not necessary for me because I do not deal with computer that much. When I graduated and joined the faculty, I discovered that I was wrong by thinking in that way especially we had to do a lot of work by using computer. Now, my typing is not that bad but also not good. I am still slow in typing because I keep looking at the keyboard and use the wrong fingers while typing. I hope I can improve this skill if it is not too late especially I will graduate from the college in a year and I do not want to face any embarrassing situation in my future career as a translator …. Thanks

Hi everybody,

I didn't have much time to learn English with your online lessons these days. But I'm very glad I started again to use this great opportunity.
The main reason why I don't reply to the forum's messages is because of time concern.
I do not think the lessons are complicated, at all. Actually, it is very easy and pleasant way of learning with you, especially now through the Audio lessons.

I'm not very fast in typing, unfortunately, still the typing was part of my work and it would be again once I get a job .I didn't have luck to learn it in my university as many others in the US and North America. Our educational system was different from yours guys, so many of Albanian people from Kosovo are writing with two fingers , except the professional typewriters.

We all have different experiences behind us; good and the bad ones .And I can understand when we don't want to be with our nation either for a short or long period of time. It can happened for all of us. But it sounds pretty hard to me to hear that a human being might have bad feelings about his/her native language. Because, people sometimes can do bad things but why should a language, even it is Arabic, suffer for that?
Since some time ago I started to learn English for my personal needs but also because I liked it very much. Still today, when it comes to express my deepest feelings, through writing, singing or just talking, there is not a language that I can do in better or easer way but in Albanian. I do love and respect my language as I do the other languages.

Wish for all a great weekend.

Hi Sasa,

It's great to hear you are a fast typer. Please tell me how exactly you learned to type. I mean, did you use a special software program or did you teach yourself to type? Also, how much time do you spend typing texts in English every day?

Regards,
Torsten

Hi,

What do you think of "Dance Mat Typing" provided by the BBC? It's the best program of its kind I have seen so far.
