@GWAM2009,
I used to teach with "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing..." (This is several years ago now, not sure if it's still as good. Seems to still be around):

@GWAM2009,
I recently recommended this free software to a student who needed a Spanish typing tutor.

There are a lot of other options here:

@sozobe,
I used to like Mavis, too, inspite of the odd vocabulary. I got a more recent edition some years ago, and it required insertation of the cd. I resented the attitude, and the extra bother. Have they changed this little trick since I last looked?
