The typing speed won't matter that raises when we keep on practicing. Here, I have given my best to provide very important ideas that would solve most of your trouble related to Nepali typing, particularly very basic issues.

I can assure you that if you are completely unfamiliar with Nepali typing then also no need to worry. It would help you to learn rapidly without lots of stress. I also have followed the same strategy or methodology to get expertise in Nepali Typing. Only you need to have though and time to Learn Nepali Typing. If you provide your kind attention I begin to share the ideas.

All these ideas based on phonetic sound i.e. all related to speech sound.  You need to pronounce the same way I guided you or you can create similar to that you don't just forget. This is just an idea but I found this one most effective to me and though it would be to you as well. In this method, I formed a Nepali word from joining the phonetic sound of the English alphabet in the keyboard, and with Nepali character lies in the same key. 

Let's take an example starting with the first English alphabet A. The Phonetic sound of A is अ and the Nepali character lies in the same key is ब. So, it forms a Nepali word (or any familiar commonly used word) अब. It would help you to remember Nepali characters from the English Character of Keyboard. When we just see "A" in mind it comes Nepali character "ब" readily with no time. Revising for some time you easily able to remember the respective the Nepali character in the key. 

*Note: Here, I am teaching you locating the Nepali character from the English alphabets keyboard. The position of Nepali character varies with different typing language but in general, almost 99% uses this system excluding romanized way of typing.
