There are whole courses or free mini-games on the Internet that teach it, but in my case ... it was enough to want it. I will describe the entire manual for you.

In short, I tried not to look at the keyboard as I was typing. Yes, the beginnings were difficult and I had to correct a lot, but I finally made it :)

The most important thing is that you keep your index fingers on the letters F and J as they are your "landmarks". They are marked with special insets on the keys so that you can easily find them.

Then find a place where you can practice. For example, when I started, I was a group moderator on FB, so I had a lot of text to write anyway.

Once you know what you want to type, start doing it. Look at the keyboard and watch your fingers move as you type. The index fingers keep going back to the letters F and J!

Thanks to this, you develop your muscle memory. If your finger reaches the letter B 100 times in the same way, believe me, after some time it is enough for you to think about it and your finger will make the appropriate movement. You just need to make sure you keep it in the same place all the time.

After a while you will begin to associate where the keys are. Then we go to the next level. Plan to write a word, look at the keyboard, and then look at the screen and write it, letter by letter, without looking at the keyboard.

If you make a mistake, delete it and continue without looking "search" with your finger for the letter. Thanks to this, you will correct your muscle memory and start creating a "keyboard in your head". You will go from "blind" muscle memory to deliberate writing.

Then it's downhill. Start writing longer and longer words, then whole sentences, and voila! You just learned touch typing :)

I used the Keyboard Master program over 10 years ago.
I haven't mastered the entire course, but apparently it takes 20 hours to learn a basic skill. And it is thanks to this program that I gained them.
Currently, there is a second version of this program. You can read the details here:
www.nahlik.pl/mistrz-klawiatury-2.html
(you have to manually copy the link, because it doesn't work like I upload from "http" at the beginning)
Once you have mastered the basic rules, practice will do the rest ;-)
As a curiosity, I would like to mention that: "The Master of Keyboard II is a teaching aid recommended for school use by the Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Poland (Ministry of National Education's recommendation number is 0600/2001)".
The program is not super modern, but solid, cheap and Polish (it's always nice to support your own people) :-)

Just like with skills - practice. When I typed many things by computer in college - I quickly saw that I started typing quickly and without looking at the keys or even the monitor screen. (looking at a book, for example) the brain learns automatically, just like to walk, but you have to practice this skill. So I recommend you practice writing or rewriting. In addition, I would like to add that the tabs on the keyboard are helpful for the orientation of the keys. Among other things, such a tab is on the letter 'F'

And most importantly, when we sit down to a new keyboard, especially with a different spacing (width of the keys), you can make typos, especially confusing the distant keys from the landmark ('F')

I learned to touch the keyboard quickly and touch with the Keyboard Master program. It was about 20 years ago, so now there are probably some newer versions of such programs, you would have to check. In any case, the key to learning to write is to develop good reflexes. This old Keyboard Master program had a series of lessons that taught you which finger is pressing which keys. And this is the most important thing - the hands are always placed on the keyboard in the same position with the index fingers on the letters F and J (they have appropriate protrusions) and with the hands arranged in this way, each finger presses only a specific group of keys. The lessons from the Master of the Keyboard must be rolled down until the reflexes that this finger presses W, that R, and another H "descend" into the subconscious and you stop thinking about which key to press now and wondering where it is on keyboard. The point is for the finger movements to be taken over by the subconscious, and then you will only think about what to write. Getting started can be difficult and frustrating, but it is really learnable. After working through the lessons in the style of awa awa lol lol dcd dcd many times and developing your reflexes, it is best to find a book on the internet that you would like to read, only in text form (.txt) and loading it bit by bit into the Master of the Keyboard program instead of reading it just rewrite it. Then the training will be combined with the pleasure of reading a book. You have to practice in the Master of the Keyboard systematically, preferably every day. After 1 month, there should be cool effects, and in six months you can reach a really good level, i.e. type quickly, without looking at the keyboard and reasonably flawlessly. At least for me, it took more or less this time. Once you learn this, you wonder how you could even type anything on the keyboard without this skill.

There is a very good learning site, the name is "10fastfingers". On this site you can learn to type fast in a very cool and interesting way. It looks like we have a minute to enter the displayed words (you can choose the language of the words) and then we get our result in the form: WPM - words per minutes, i.e. the number of words entered in a minute, we also have the percentage of error and the number of correct and incorrect words entered characters. We also have rankings there, which motivates to achieve the fastest results and new records. As for the basics: If we want to type quickly on the keyboard, we must learn to type without looking at the keyboard, We must learn to hold our hands properly on the keyboard (each finger has its own key sector) You have to be persistent, at the beginning it is known that it is hard to type without looking at additionally, click on the appropriate characters with specific fingers. I wish you perseverance and good luck!
