Thanks. It has only been my relaxed effort pace for about a little over a week though, probably mainly thanks to me memorizing all the words used for English and Dutch tests and developing some muscle memory for those particular words.
I just tried an Indonesian typing test and got 120 WPM after the second attempt, but it took a lot of focus. Oddly enough, I made less mistakes than I usually do in English or Dutch.

It may be interesting to see how fast I can get in those languages by memorizing the words.
What WPM can you reach in other languages?

For Indonesian and the similar languages, it's usually in the 90s.
For Dutch, I can get 120s. That's probably my favorite "international" language to type in.
Yeah, I noticed the words are pretty much the same for the languages, so it makes it a bit easier over time to get faster since we're used to typing the same words.

No need to thank me! You are amazing and did it all yourself

.
196 is just unreal. Congratulations!
I like how you kept going even though you messed up two words on the first line (carry and big).
I usually restart if my first two or three lines aren't perfect.

Thank you!

It's my best time yet and I'm happy I was filming at the time!
I know what you mean! I used to always restart if my first few lines weren't perfect, but I screwed up so often that, eventually, I just kept going, regardless of any mistakes.

Have you completed the practice mode for English/Dutch?
It's pretty nice to see and type different words.
The hardcore mode can be frustrating during the boss levels!

I have almost finished the English softcore practice mode. Trying the Hardcore Mode should be interesting (and, no doubt, very frustrating)! It'll be a great exercise to get even more accurate.

I also notice that it's very hard for me to get high WPM in the practice mode: I usually get around 140 or 150 WPM.

That's very good if you're getting it in the later levels where the words are longer!
That's like getting 140-150 in "advanced" typing mode.

Nice! You're right, that's the exact WPM range I have been getting in the advanced typing tests! It should be interesting to see how much faster I can get in "real world typing" by doing the same amount of advanced tests as I do normal typing tests.
