    Since no-one seems to be bothered to look at the 'technical' section, I shall re-post my idea into this forum:

    I always had slight difficulty typing a whole bunch of words in the cmk lessons, which contained two newly introduced letters that were both on the same row (excluding home row letters). For example the lesson that introduces F and U (#6) makes me mix up both keys frequently (during the lesson only).  Therefore, I have made an alternative lesson–that would be lesson 5–for V and L, to try how it compares. What do you think?

    Ah, it is not that people don't look in the other forum I think? I looked at your post for sure. But since I'm not using lessons and didn't have any opinions on the matter I didn't reply. I will reply now, but only to let you see that I did read your post before. However, I think it's great that the subject is given enthusiastic and thoughtful attention, and hope you do make whatever improvements are there to be made.  :)

    Oh, I see, it's just that people don't care, not that they didn't see it! ;D

    Haha; I care about your efforts and wish you the best of luck. I'm just too clueless to contribute.  :D

    I care too.   I practiced typing through it.  I just feel I didn't have anything interesting to say in response.

    I also saw it first in the Technical section. 

    The finger of the opposite handing moving first had been a real general problem for me but it seems to be fading with time and everyday usage of the layout.  I had and sometimes still do have a problem with D and  H.  G could become D, etc.  but it all seems to be getting better.

    Well, good to see people aren't having too much of a problem with the way the lessons are now, so that's good; saves me time too! =P

    I also saw it but didn't think it applied to me, since I didn't notice any difficulties during the lessons. I'm sure this might come in handy for the beginners, but since I have done those lessons so many times, it's second nature to me now. Also, I haven't done the lessons in a while, since I've been busy... so I don't really remember if I have difficulties or not.

    Okay guys, it's not like I felt offended or something, I thought you seriously didn't look at 'em!
