Put your hands here, do it like this, BAM. Done. You know how. Now it's just practise. Which reminds me how much I hated "Computers" class in high school. That class was USELESS. ALL we did was learn to effing type. Just like we'd already done a million times through grades 3-8. Of course by then I was already a proficient typer in my own method, so I just typed it like I do now and eventually failed the class. (not because I couldn't type, but just 'cause I never did anything I was supposed to because that class was crap)

Anyway, the way I do it is some messed up thing where my hands just kind of rest haphazardly on keyboard until they need to start punching in letters 'n' such. Although my thumbs default to the space bar and my pinkies default to the shift keys.

Lol I know how you feel. I'm in my freshman year of high school (ahhh) and I took a buisness class. All we are learning to do is type and use wordperfect. Uggh. Yeah, we have to use all the right type too. It's such a shitty program. Just cause you don't need high def FPS graphics for a typing program doesn't mean you need to make it bare minimum so it can run on windows 95 glitchlessly (is that a word?)

And as I said before, thanks to spongebob typing, I don't need typing lessons. I'm 2x as fast as the second fastest person in my class, who types a measly 40 WPM while LOOKING at the keyboard.
