If your fingers are hurting too much, learn dvorak

If your fingers just hurt too much after spending too much time on the keyboard... Just take a break! If your fingers start hurting it means that you are working very hard! Just go take a break and say that is enough practice for the day. Good Luck! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

What really helped me improve my typing speed is that I say the words I'm about to type in my head. It helps me focus (and hopefully you too) on the word I am typing and usually helps me concentrate better! Good Luck! -ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

My tip to improve your typing speed is to...listen to music at 1.5 faster than the normal speed so you can get your brain hyped and overall get a better typing score. Worked for me I had a average wpm of 45 and then after doing this-right after- I got a wpm of 57! Good Luck! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
