Lesson 5 of 29
Home Row: G and H
G and H sit in the middle, between your two hands. The index fingers stretch sideways to reach them — left index to G, right index to H — while the other fingers stay put. These complete the home row, and H is one of the most common letters in English, so a lot of ordinary words open up here.
