Finished up round 2 of the alphabet with the Dvorak keyboard at just a hair under 20 wpm. I’m officially quitting this project today. I learned the keyboard, but I don’t think that this is something worth pursuing. I may play with Dvorak once in a while for fun, but…
I actually thought learning Dvorak was going to make typing easier, but here I am nearing the end of my second time through lessons for the alphabet and I think that even if I did not have to unlearn QWERTY, I would still not pick Dvorak. I’ve managed to increase…
Oh, day 13 of learning Dvorak, and it’s an unlucky day. Maybe that is why I want to quit. I picked up where I left off on the lesson review, but didn’t get very far before I started getting slower instead of faster. I have found that I probably need…
A little Dvorak review today. I’m glad I decided to review, because I got to see some higher wpm scores for a change. They went down quickly as I progressed through the lessons though. I started out at 45 wpm on the first lesson and ended up at under 20…
Dvorak is getting easier all the time. I hit 20wpm today, at least a couple times, but by the end of my practice I was back down to 14-15wpm. It gets harder toward the end of my practice and I find myself spacing out, even over keys I know well…
I was so excited yesterday to see 30wpm on some of the Dvorak drills, but today I am back down to 15-16 as I added another 3 lessons to my practice. H & U Keys D & I Keys R & L Keys This gets me off the home row….
Three learning Dvorak lessons are done and loaded up online now: N & O keys T & E Keys S & A Keys The non-drills are starting to feel more like real words and phrases and I’m very happy to see that I can get up near 30 wpm. I’d…
Kind of an easy day today. I’m working on those lessons and trying to figure to figure out what order to introduce the letters. I’ve been practicing word list for those letter combinations to see how quickly I can progress from words to phrases or sentences. It’s been encouraging to…
I did a couple of pangram tests today. It takes me so long. I’m getting between 9 and 10 words a minute. I managed to do the last one at 12wpm. I know where all the keys are now. And that’s a good thing. My computer fell asleep while I…
I practiced some more pangrams today and got 11wpm on my last try. At this rate, I think I can hit 40wpm in a month. Not all that impressive. I was reading a couple posts from people who have tried this before me. Based on their experiences I’m guessing the…
