I started last weekend, now can type pretty well even still slow. It's easy to remember the layout, I started with type my name, it's 8 characters, then it's the password or someone's name you care, and then is ls and cd. and then is some websites you used to go, now I guess you touched nearly all characters. for "echo" and "the" I typed more than 10 times at first to be smooth. Next comes to numbers, I remember where 0 is and use it to find the rest. then comes to @$&%#, you can be familiar it slowly during you used it. not recommend check printed layout often unless necessary, a mistake typing at beginning can lead you to be familiar with another character, I am not a good learner, but I feel if you do with your real heart, the rest just time.
