Yeah I had a touch typing class for a quarter in 8th grade. I repeatedly cheated by lifting the paper obscuring my hands and never learned how to type. It's a notable lifetime regret!

Haha, this is how I feel towards a second language. In Canada, French classes are mandantory to a certain grade - I wish I put in more effort - it's so fun knowing other languages even a bit

Change that ;).

Never to late - I built https://www.typequicker.com/practice (I'd welcome the feedback as well!) for this reason.

I learned touch typing in my mid twenties - took me a while to get to my current speed (partially also because I explored various split keyboards and layouts and such) but it's just a few minutes every few days
