I learned typing using a PC on a typing course (I never really use PCs!)
-This program is very good, and it seems I could use some training getting rid of typing errors. My speed is round 300, so I'm quite happy with that.
A few minor things I think the program could benefit from, would be:
1: A language popup menu, with the language from the current System Preferences (this is easy to do; just make a NSLocalizedString("_language","preferred language.");
and in each of the Localized.strings, you translate "_language" to for instance "Dansk", "Deutch", "English", etc..., then use this to select the default for your popup-button.
2: A folder for each supported language, with texts that can be randomly selected.
3: Perhaps a 'score history', showing how good you've become since you started.
