I'm currently trying to learn how to touch type from a cd.
Does anyone do it?
If so...
How did you learn? How long did it take to learn? Are you glad you learnt it?

I can touch type - but I didn't learn it through a CD or anything. It just came from experience. The best thing to do is just stare at the screen rather than at the keyboard when you're typing, and it'll soon become natural.

It doesn't take long if you practice enough but you pick it up in equal measure from experience..

Exactly. Probably the best thing mate is to try posting on here without looking at the keyboard.

yeah thats how I got to touch type. You can get CD-ROMS and stuff but its probably best to save your money and just type.

It's all down to practice. It's amazing how easy it is to pick-up.

I do one finger typing if that helps.

I can actually touch-type while 'chicken picking' - that is, just using one or two fingers instead of doing it properly. Probably says something about how much time I spend at a keyboard really (In my defence, I'm an amateur writer!)

I can kinda touch type, but I taught myself through my endless hours on the computer

As everyone else said, it comes naturally after a bit of practice. I've been able to do it for several years now, but I still have to start from the home-row whenever I start typing, otherwise I get all messed up
