Its pinky time! You will now be typing Z and /

to type them very often.

Hey that wasn't so bad was it? Now that you've
practiced each finger individually, you will be
practicing all the bottom row keys mixed
together.
Make sure you are keeping any finger that is
not actively reaching for a key on the Home
Row at all times!

Congratulations Text
You have completed the Bottom
Row lesson. If you are moving
contiguously through the
lessons, then you may still feel a bit shaky on
each of the rows, but that is fine. The next
lesson will begin with the Home Row and
branch out slowly. Hey, these are beginner
lessons after all!
You're doing great.
