Hey everyone ?
We are currently working on building a Colemak typing course for Ustaad Typing Academy – a multilingual typing platform that allows users to learn on custom layouts, including Colemak.
Before finalizing the structure, I’d love to get your insights and experiences to make this course truly helpful for new learners and switchers.
? At Ustaad, we support multiple learning methods:
? Key-by-Key Method – introducing a few new keys at a time with repetition and practice.
? Pangram-Based Lessons – meaningful sentences that use a wide range of letters.
? Frequency-Based Approach – teaching the most-used keys and combinations first.
? Custom Challenge Modes – drills, games, or reflex-based typing tests.
?️ I’d love to ask the community:
What method helped you the most when learning or switching to Colemak?
Are there any specific strategies or creative ideas you'd recommend we implement?
Would you like to see finger-training visuals or gesture guides included in early lessons?
We’ve already created a full typing course for QWERTY, which is currently live and completely free to use.
You can try it out here: USTAAD Typing Academy
The upcoming Colemak course will follow a similar structure, but we want to make it even better with your help!
The goal is to make this course simple, efficient, and beginner-friendly, especially for those transitioning from QWERTY.
Your feedback can really help shape this into something valuable for the entire community.
Thanks in advance – looking forward to your suggestions!
