Are there any good websites to improve typing that are fun?

Answer 1

It looks like there are a lot of them actually. Here are a few:

http://www.typingtest.com/games.html

http://www.typingweb.com/tutor/games/

http://www.rapidtyping.com/online-typing-games.html

All of these have typing games that will help you improve typing. Just make sure you have your hands placed correctly so that you are learning to find the keys correctly, not with just one or two fingers. :)

If you don't know how to place your hands, your left pointer finger should rest on the F key, and your right pointer finger should rest on the J key. Your fingers should rest on those four keys in a row on either side, and your thumbs should rest on the space bar. Then, when you type, reach the finger that is closest to type that letter rather than moving your hands all over... only move your fingers.

If you haven't typed that way before, it might feel uncomfortable at first, but the more you practice, the better it will feel, and your speed will go way up from typing with only a couple of fingers.
