		Not freeware, but buy him a copy of typing of the dead. I love that game.

		i also just realized that i should spell check everything i ever do before i type it.

		Dunno where, but I'm sure you could find a copy of Mario Teaches Typing somewhere.

		i suggested it to him he asked if there's a way to set it to a sped level (basically he really can't type and wants to know if you can actually learn how to type by playing it)

		Mavis Beacon teaches typing isn't bad, I think you can pick it up at walmart or that type of store for like $10.

It's good for improving your typing skills but if you're starting out with nothing it's probably next to useless. I would go for an actual typing tutor program like dibz mentioned.

		Whilst typing of the dead has an attempt at teaching you how to type I would agree that for people that have never typed before it may be too difficult.
