Common Beginner Mistakes
Hitting X instead of C
C and X are adjacent on the bottom row. C is directly below D. Check alignment from the home row.
Pausing before punctuation
Beginners often hesitate before typing a comma. Treat it like any other key: press and return.
Adding a space before the comma
In English, the comma goes directly after the word with no space before it. Space comes after.
Forgetting to return the middle finger
After pressing C or comma, bring the middle finger back to D or K immediately.
What Comes Next
Future lessons will cover X, Z, period, slash, and the remaining bottom-row keys, as well as numbers and shift for capital letters.
