Don't get discouraged, Blue. It's worth the investment of time to learn to type properly.
I was a 2-finger typist well into my 40s. I learned to type with a free on-line typing tutor, which, unfortunately, is long gone. I did a quick search and found
https://www.typingspeedtests.com/ which seems similar. The important thing is to type whole sentences and practice to build speed and maintain it. I took the 3-minute test and did less than 30 wpm. That's terrible! When I've been practicing, I have reached 85 wpm. I actually think I'll be visiting that site for a while, since I've obviously gotten rusty. I've recently noticed that I've been making more errors when I type, which is yet another good reason to practice.
Whatever game/app you choose, try to keep with it. Typing can truly be as effortless as speaking, but there's a large up-front hurtle. Good luck!
P.S. I just noticed this was my 26th post and it's apparently "suspect". Considering I've been a member since 2005, shouldn't it say "Lurker" or something? :-)
