Russian keyboards

[William Derbyshire]

Honest to goodness............ can't someone answer the question instead of 
 questioning why
a person should use this that or the next keyboard? There are perfectly  
good reasons for 
someone wanting to use a phonetic keyboard without having to justify them  
to other people.

I use a phonetic keyboard, and the reason is that having learned  to type 
in English first, I was always reaching for the wrong keys when typing  in 
Russian. Getting one's motor memory to distinguish between two keyboard  
patterns seems to me quite a task, and it has nothing to do with learning the  
language.  


Best wishes,

I would like to  reply to everyone on this. Why is a phonetic keyboard 
wanted in a language  lab? Shouldn't students learn to type using the normal 
Russian keyboard  layout?
