It's not total gibberish. It resembles real words decently. But there are sites around typing real words. I prefer http://colemak.academy http://colemak.academy

It's fine to be typing slower during practice. It's like how sports athletes will practice a pass or shot in artificial conditions, rather than play a full game.
- gnicholas 5y agoCool, thanks! One thing I really like about colemak academy is that it has you go back and correct errors, instead of just blowing past them. That's much more realistic for my everyday typing. In terms of using real words: I don't mind that I'm typing slower per se, but I do notice when I do typing tests that involve real words, I have a certain muscle memory (at least in the common parlance — I assume it's actually more brain training) that allows me to type many long words quite quickly. I assumed that it would be useful to improve my technique using real words, with a focus on the words that I'm not great at. I will be interested to see if typing gibberish words with similar patterns will lead to improvements in real world typing.
