Like everyone else, I have been there and today I can type fast, without having to look at the keyboard or the screen.
But not everyone is a translator or a web writer: how to get the correct positioning of the fingers and memorize the location of each key, and above all, how to know that we have not pressed another key?
To increase accuracy , note that:
- It is the fingers that move, not the wrists,
- You have to place your hands on the central line of the Spanish keyboard: from the “a” to the “ñ” key,

- Thumbs on the space bar.
