Right hand typing practice

Right hand typing practice

Training each off your hands separately is a great technique that works for many touch typing learners. If you notice the image below you would see the right hand is involved with more keys than the left hand.

Finger positions and usage

If you are a programmer or you need to type the punctuations or symbols a lot, you should take more right hand typing practice lessons than your left hand fingers and frequently practice right hand typing to improve your skills. At TypingMentor, you can generate as many right hand typing practice lessons as you want for free.
But if you type day-to-day English you don't need to practice with your right hand more. I believe you already guessed the reason. Yes, because normally you don't type a lot of symbols in day-to-day English, so both hands are used almost in a 50/50 ratio. For example, take a look at the following text, these are the 100 most common words in English.

If we count right hand characters and left hand characters in the above text, there are 175 left hand characters and 167 right hand characters. That tells us although the keyboard has more characters that are typed by our right hand, we type almost equally with both hands as long as we are typing day-to-day English.
