so interesting to hear your experience with learning to type. I come from an earlier generation, so as a young girl, typing was something I was expected to learn.

Alas, a work accident cut off the middle finger on my right hand (ask me to give you the finger, I dare you, lol) so I went back to rehab - to learn to type again. IK and comma are all covered by other digits.

I took a typing class in american high school. The structured approach worked well for me, but I struggled with my words per minute and ability to develop any sort of reliable rhythm.

I reapproached my learning strategy to touch typing after I discovered I had aphantasia.

I now feel the words and where the keys are on the keyboard and can now maintain roughly 60 wpm for about 10 minutes.
