My father wants to learn how to type. He has NO computer skills. But I plan to teach him. But first I need to teach him how to type. So can you give me a website that he can go to when he wants so he can practice typing on the computer. I don't want to by a cd and it teaches you how to type. I want my father to do it on the web. Freely!!!

Hi there,
Just download the free version of Typing tutor from here:
http://www.kiranreddys.com/products/typing.html
and install it. He can practice even while you are not connected to internet.
Hope this helps...

i have learned to type and yes it is a good skill to have if you use the a keyboard a lot however for most people that I know two fingers work very effectively. he just needs time to get used to where the keys are and he can do that simply by opening notepad and just practicing typing things that he sees in front of him or from a newspaper. in no time it will be second nature to him.

Just go to Google website and search for free online typing training. There are some good ones out there. Just be patient and look for the one that is free and easy to learn.

This may sound quite silly, but as a kid, I learned typing while having fun in a game: Typer Shark. I know all the other folks know about this, but it's quite helpful. Aside from that, there's plenty other software and programs out there that may help.

I know of absolutly no program or site that will allow you to learn how to type for free, If you REALLY want somone to learn how to type spare 5 or 10 dollars to buy a quality program on typing.

Its a program- you have to pay for it- but its the best out there and it taught my wife- step daughter and my son how to type- my son learned to type at age 8 using the program. Its walks you through step by step.
