Every time we use the keyboard, we mentally split it into two sides, left-hand letters and right-hand letters, so why not learn one side at a time? It makes sense and, 15 keys instead of 30, it’s much easier. There are 4 fingers on your left hand and 4 home keys on the left side in the middle row, ASDF, so it’s easy to figure out what finger hits what key, but how to remember ASDF, it doesn’t make any sense. Animals in the Snow Dig for Food, yay! Type ASDF and say this sentence aloud. Do this 10 times.
Now, what words can you type using ASDF? Type add, as, dad, fad and sad without looking at the keyboard.
But wait, there’s another letter in the middle row, G, and you don’t have any more fingers. The Food finger does double the work and moves over to G. Type ASDFG and say aloud Animals in the Snow Dig for Food Greedily. Do this 10 times. Now, type gad, gag, gas and sag without looking at the keyboard.
Next, the top and bottom rows. Place your four left fingers on ASDF and idly move them up to the top row and down to the bottom row. The Animals finger types Q on the top row and Z on the bottom row. Animals Queensland Zoo (or Qatar Zoo, Quebec Zoo, Qingdao Zoo). Type AQZ and say aloud Animals Queensland Zoo. Do this 10 times.
Top and bottom row associations for Snow, Dig and Food are: Snow White Xmas, Dig Easter Chocolate, Food Raw Vegetables.
Two keys to go. The hardworking Food finger also types T and B. Type FTB and say aloud Food T-Bone. Do this 10 times.
One home row sentence and 5 up and down association words and you have finished the left side in 35 minutes. This is the Nail It Now way of learning http://www.nailitnow.com.au
