Typing Course
Home row to fluent, one lesson at a time
About Typing Course
A full touch-typing curriculum: 60+ lessons from ASDF through symbols and code, with live finger guides, a per-key heat map and drills generated from the keys you personally miss.
Ankhdase tracks 10 distinct skills in Typing Course, including Home row, Top row, Bottom row and Number row. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.
Skills Typing Course practices
- Home row
- Top row
- Bottom row
- Number row
- Symbols
- Shift & capitals
- Whole words
- Sentences & punctuation
- Number pad
- Code typing
Mastery is estimated separately for each of these, which is what lets the difficulty move independently — a student can be fluent on one and still be fed easier questions on another.
