Unlocking Speed: The Art of "Rolling"
If you want to type faster than 60 WPM, you can no longer think about individual letters. You must think in combinations. In Lesson 19, we master the concept of "Letter Rolls".
[ TH ] [ ER ] [ IN ] [ OU ] [ RE ]
What is a Roll? Imagine drumming your fingers on a desk from your index finger to your ring finger. It happens in one smooth, flowing motion. When you type "T-H-E" or "E-R", you shouldn't press 'T', lift your finger, and then press 'H'. You should "roll" your fingers across the keys in one micro-second.
🏆 Most Common English Rolls
- TH: Left Index (T) rolls into Right Index (H).
- ER: Left Middle (E) rolls into Left Index (R).
- HE: Right Index (H) rolls into Left Middle (E).
- IN: Right Middle (I) rolls into Right Index (N).
