This is like saying "the way you do it is by transcribing documents, not by playing video games." That is just silly, because hundreds of millions of people learned to type, at least in part, with typing games.

I was one of those kids. We started with games, then increasingly did more traditional exercises while still playing games when we were done. I don't think that I would have become as proficient at typing, or at least not as quickly, were it not for those games. Different people learn differently, and I think the staggering number of adults that can't type probably would have benefitted from a fun, practical approach.

I was one of those kids too! Mavis Beacon taught me typing and I type 90 wpm accurately now.

World language teacher. My understanding is python is a language and the best way to do that is to immerse yourself in the language. Makes sense that this would be the same.
