The lessons take in to account that the user is not English expert and show the different shapes of the English letters. On the keyboard graph, there are some circles, each circle correspond to a finger, for example the red circle correspond to either the left or right litter finger and so on. If you find a button having the red circle, this means that the little finger should be used to click this button.

In the practice window, you will see some English text, and it should be written correctly, the correctly written letters will be colored red and the wrongly written letters will be blue. The window will show the correct hits which is the number of correctly typed letters, and the wrong hits, which means how many mistakes you made while writing. This wrong hits and decrease when you type back space, in order to give real idea about the efficiency. If the next letter is space, a hint will appear in red saying Next letter space.
Built in Key board Emulator
There is a build in keyboard emulator for different keyboard languages, and it supports English, German and Arabic keyboards. For example if the computer language changes between these languages, it will not affect the written letter, as the request of the program is to teach the location of the key. So now don't worry about changing between different keyboard languages while practicing or playing the game.
