Hello there.
I've been typing since I was a kid, right from using an Acorn RISC operating system in primary school. The first thing my teach taught me? Use the fingers on
both hands when you type.
You will be slow. You will be clumsy. It will feel awkward.
But... you certainly should get better! It does just take practice and patience. I was a pretty good typist, but once I got into touch typing, I started getting much better, getting WPM of 90+ but it took some practice. How did I do it? Games! I used a method called "gamification", which is just a silly way to say that I played a game for an educational gain.
Google for typing games. It'll make the world of difference, because not only will you train your fingers and mind to remember where things are, but you'll also hopefully have some fun in the process.

I know I sure did.
Now I touch type well, and fairly accurately, and recently did a test that showed I managed 92WPM; it's not crazy high, but considering I can no longer touch type the "proper" way due to a nasty 5th metacarpel break which rendered my little finger kinda useless, I think I do okay. xD I've no doubt I type quicker when I type naturally from thoughts in my mind. I had to work my way back up to the 90s again, but it was worth it. I type regularly, pretty much daily.
I dunno whether this site is any good, but it looks intriguing:

Don't give up! You need daily practice. Make typing part of everything you do on the computer. Type a diary. Type on forums. Type on Skype or any other IM client. Best of luck to you.
