bro is too smart for all of us here

Here to impart the secret sauces bro

this was helpful thanks!

[@Salim_Ahmed]

I'm glad, thanks for commenting!

[@rakshitrawat6113]

One suggestion, if possible, always give points/steps at the end of video which will summarize the video as I have seen in many videos people do the same thing and its helpful.

[@Lendigo4]

Dudeeee I thought you had a million subs judging by your video quality, which is phenomenal. Keep it up! And thanks for the tips 😄

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Hahaha I've still got a long way to go, but I hope to continue to improve my content and give what people would enjoy and benefit from watching! And you're welcome, I hope it helps!

[@SuperN57]

I was genuinely surprised seeing "347 subscribers", I was expecting several tens of thousands somewhy, no wonder

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Hahaha hopefully my vids keep getting better and more attention so that i get to that sub count soon

[@dbgaming4458]

459

[@dbgaming4458]

Maybe its the consistency which isnt helping in algorithm or else content is good as per his efforts

[@bilalhumayun3969]

I think you are going to have one million subscribers this year. I congratulate you

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Ahaha that would be good, but it won't be something I'm expecting - thank you for the support though!!

[@lorensims4846]

Accuracy is Everything! Back in the day, we used manual typewriters (which taught us to hit each key with equal force), and real paper, which is very unforgiving of errors. Do it right the first time or waste time doing it over!

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Definitely! And if you do it right, you reinforce the muscle memory to then hit it right again and again. Thanks for your comment!

[@InfoSecGSO]

Very relatable. I began learning typing in first & second grade, (1989-1991), the school I went to must of been under-funded or something, cause we had only one computer, a couple of IBM Selectric Typewriters and the rest, can only be described as looking like the Reminton Standard Portable.(circa 1920's) We all took turns at the different machines. So only one student at a time could use the PC, while the rest of use struggled trying to correctly align the paper into those antiques, and constantly using white out. LOL.

[@TriggaTreDay]

@@InfoSecGSOI got a typewriter as a gift back in 2020. I’m for sure going to pop that bad boy out so it can show me how much I still need to learn when it comes to perfecting my typing 😂. Once I master that thing typing on my Mac will feel like a breeze.

[@Starforme-xr6sb]

Oh​@@TriggaTreDay

[@GABRIELPEARSON-o2l]

Speed may be important, however, Accuracy is absolutely crucial

[@notu483]

Straight to the point: I LOVE it. Thank you for the tips!

[@Salim_Ahmed]

I was waiting for this comment to see if people would appreciate me getting straight into it 😂 I'm glad you liked it!

I was watching the video with the preview mode, but had to specifically click on it and press like for just how straightforward it was. Good stuff, thanks for making it :D

I clicked this video from your video on reading faster and I agree that the quality and actionability of your videos is phenomenal and you’ve got my sub from here on!

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Glad to hear you liked it, appreciate the support and i hope my videos help 🙌🏽

[@Stoiculus4]

Really cool tutorial. I was 12 watching this (my birthday was 2 months ago) and I used to get around 50WPM. Watching this video got me around to 70WPM on a lazy day and 100+ on a good day. Really cool Straight to the point.

[@Salim_Ahmed]

That's a v young age, glad to see it's already helped, and hope you continue to improve 💪🏽💯

[@BreadTeleporterAndii]

I totally agree with this short burst thing, I use Dvorak (my first keyboadd layout) I was told to do long tests, I couldn't do more than 100wpm on 60 second tests due to the stiffness of the board I was using, but also my consistency was terrible its been about 4 years since then and I type upwards of 220wpm in bursts and like 160-170 on longer or more complex phrases, I did this for mobile aswell and my wpm went from 40-75/80 in like a month, and now I consistently type at around 75 while writing stuff like this : )

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Yeh honeslt long tests are a bit pointless in real world use, bursts is where it's at haha Glad to hear about the improvements mate!

[@Techtinkerer3D]

This guy is criminally underrated for such high quality.

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Love the support my guy, hopefully I'll climb up a lot more 💯💪🏽

[@Hyfon]

You can get real sentences in monkeytype also. Just change the mode to "Quote" instead of "words" or "time." You can also click on "punctuation" while in "words" or "time" mode and it adds some random punctuation too.

[@Salim_Ahmed]

I couldn't mention everything since i aimed to make the video short, but yeah it's just a solid website tbh

[@cameron82489]

that is true, however I feel like typeracer does it better.

[@HearMeLearn]

@@cameron82489 they're both about the same tbh. It's just a UI preference, or if you care about the other racers in typeracer

This means a lot, thank you! Let's hope so, I'll make one when i hit a nice sub milestone hahaha

[@amarhashim5093]

The idea writing syllable by syllable is really help to speed up. Pressing multiple keys in a time to write syllable is even better. Good sharing.

[@Salim_Ahmed]

For sure it helps a lot! All the best :)

[@DevanshRastogi]

i still can't believe that people do not know about the ctrl+backspace thingy, kudos on getting a hit video mate :)

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Ahaha i agree and thanks!

[@RiseGameOnYT]

The Ctrl+backspace is something no one I know uses except me, it’s just so useful

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Yep exactly, more people need to be using it!

[@RiseGameOnYT]

@@Salim_Ahmed yeah u can mess up a phrase notice it later then u can ctrl+ back arrow and ctrl+ backspace it

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Yep this one's solid too for quickly scanning through sentences!

[@sabbir_ahmed_fahim]

I know the Ctrl+Backspace shortcut, but it takes me some time to position my index fingers on F and J keys. 😢 Is there a faster way to do it? 😊😊

[@FailForwardwithAlex]

Another bangin' how-to, Salim!

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Appreciate the support, I hope it helps!

[@TriggaTreDay]

You literally have the best video on teaching how to advance in your typing. Almost all of the videos on KZbin speak about touch typing as if everyone is a newbie. I have been touch typing everyday for 2yrs straight now (30mins-1hr/day across 6 sites) and i have been searching for more techniques on how to get to the 100wpm mark. I’m almost at 80!! Going from 20wpm to now 78wpm. But I avg 65-68wpm. And I only do 60sec or longer test. So your tips to start doing 15sec test is going to be a game changer for me. You are a genius with all of the advice you gave in this video. Thanks a ton.

[@cabbage2329]

Going to save this video for when I reach two hundred words per minute so that I can break the six hundred barrier. 😎

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Let's go cabbage you can do it!

[@Megaman.ExE7]

Sometimes I love when I can figure something out by myself. I trained myself to do about 20-30 15 second tests on monkeytype as opposed to 1 minute tests and I find myself able to focus on the short text more; which allows my hands to get use to pianoing

[@Salim_Ahmed]

That's great to hear, thanks for commenting!

the syllables typing thing is super helpful. when i type i notice that i type wayyy faster if i just think of a word rather than thinking of the letters of the word

[@mvxenda]

Inconsistency right now is my main problem. Even though i can with no big problems hit 140-160 wpm on sites like monkeytype, as soon as i start typing real sentences, this drops down to 80-90 wpm with a ton of errors, or, of I'm lucky, i can get like 110-115 wpm, given there were no errors made

[@Salim_Ahmed]

Yeah this is a problem for most of us, if there's a lot of mistakes then it means you've developed the wrong muscle memory which reinforces those errors. Best thing to do is slow down a little bit to type right and it'll make you better and faster over time so that you don't have to be just lucky if you get me!
