We all have different ways of learning that work for us, but here are a few tips on how to learn the best possible way, whether learning to swim, play an instrument, learn a language, or touch type.
- Establish why you need to learn that skill.ย ย What are the benefits to you?ย ย What is your target?You might be struggling to write by hand or may want to increase your typing speed.ย ย You might want to learn some useful phrases before going on holiday.
- Set up a schedule. ย If you are not attending a class and need to be strict with yourself, block out a set time in your diary each week to complete your task.
- If you are doing a screen-based activity or one with a lot of reading, then make sure you take regular breaks which will help you focus. Measure your progress and be proud of what you have achieved.ย With our touch-typing course, you will get regular speed tests to see how you are progressing although to start with, learning the keys is far more important than speed.
- Be persistent.ย ย Practice! You will only get results if you practice.
- You might find that you achieve your goal and that you want to carry on and set yourself a new target.ย At Type IT! we have a follow on course if you want to continue to increase your typing speed.
Good luck with your new challenge.
