Everyday phrases, questions and short conversation, timed. If English is not your first language, a typing test in simple English measures two things at once: how well your fingers know the keys and how well they know the spelling.
When you type in a language you are learning, every word is a small spelling test. Your fingers slow down where your spelling is unsure — the double letters in necessary, the silent letters in Wednesday, the ough in enough — and they speed up on the words you have typed a thousand times. That makes a typing test in English an honest map of which words you know by hand and which you still build letter by letter.
The text here is drawn from the English Learners course, not from a general corpus, so the vocabulary is the everyday kind: greetings, questions, plans, short messages, the phrases people use at work and in shops. Type it as shown, with its capitals and its question marks.
Do not compare your speed with the prose test straight away; a learner typing in a second language is often twenty per cent slower, and that gap closes on its own with practice. The useful part is the error map on the text. Misses that land on the same words each time are spelling; misses that land on the same keys each time are typing.
The two need different practice. A spelling miss goes away by typing that word until it is automatic; a key miss goes away with the drills on the keys themselves. The result separates them so you can see which one you have.
The English Learners course drills the most common English words first, then everyday phrases, questions and short conversations, and the coach builds new practice from the words and keys you miss most. Every lesson is short enough to finish in a few minutes, and there is no account to make. The course page explains what each lesson covers.
English capitalises the first word of a sentence, names and the word I, and questions end in a shifted key. That is more Shift than many languages use, and a learner's typing often slows at exactly those points. The everyday phrases in this test have the same rhythm as real messages — a capital, a few common words, a question mark — so the pattern becomes familiar.
The most common two hundred English words make up about half of any everyday text. Once your fingers know those without thinking, every message, email and chat reply gets faster, whatever your level.
